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)

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?

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.
