| 1168905 | 2011-01-12 00:52:00 | Sounds like an interesting machine. Never been to Auckland, so I have never seen anything like it. | Greven (91) | ||

| 1168908 | 2011-01-12 03:13:00 | Yep, line the machine up with the guidance cable, switch on the auto-steer and try and stay awake. | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1168909 | 2011-01-12 04:01:00 | try and stay awake. I would imagine it's fairly entertaining watching the driving nutters scream at the speed of sound clipping your wing mirror? Or does that get old quick? |

| 1168910 | 2011-01-12 07:19:00 | You can lose an eye from the flying debris from a wing mirror impact. I hope he keeps his window up. I can see how the job would get old fairly quickly, but it is an awesome machine! I find the machine more entertaining than the view. They could do a lot more to enforce the speed limit on the bridge - it still gets treated like a 100km/h highway. |

On the original machines, the mirrors were put on as the machines had a COF, but after losing a lot of mirrors, they weren't replaced, there was a camera facing backwards anyway. |
