365235 2005-06-20 08:13:00 Auckland (City) to Tauranga central in two hours and a handful of minutes was a regular time, Taupo to North Shore in three hours was common (finish at 5, home by 8 for dinner) and for a special reason (seriously ill family member) I got home from Kinleith (Tokoroa) to the North Shore in 2.5 hours dead.
Those times don't sound too imressive. I did Howick (Auckland) to Napier once in the nineties in 4 hours 10 minutes, with a ten minute stop in Taupo, in an uninspiring 1500 honda. Also Whakatane to Auckland and back to Napier in 7 hours, with a short break in Auckland, in the same car.

The amount of traffic on our lousy roads has a lot more to do with the times than the car or speed it's going at.

Update: I too have seen it. It's a sports car. To be exact, it was parked at someone's house at Houston Street in Glenfield/Bayview.

:o

Just for the privacy of the owner, lets 'try' not go there just to have a look :p It's a no exit street ;)

365240 2005-06-28 15:33:00 Sounds as though it's time you reminded us what "metla" means - apart from a forest research organisation in Finland, that is. Laura (43)
