  1. Ha ha ha you won't believe how many times I've ended up being on the wrong side of the road. For a recent trip to the airport, I watched the bus sail by and had to get an Uber in order to make it on time. Glad to hear I am not the only dumbass who does that!
  2. Google Maps is way better than the AT app - more accurate, more versatile, easier to use...
  3. Use your phone; google maps will tell you which bus to catch and from where. Ask other commuters for help if you need it, they will generally gladly assist. Google is better than Auckland Transport's app.
  4. Matakana's also a bloody nightmare of traffic on a good weekend...
  5. The wonderful Kiwi sense of humour, opening a water park as winter sets in...smh. Be keen to have a go on that come next summer though.
  6. Coro is awesome. You need to get up to the Bay of Islands, too, that's one of my favourite spots, just stunning. Oh, and of course, get yourself a boat as it all looks even better from the water ;-)
  7. Congrats! Getting the paperwork behind you is always a huge relief...
  8. I went fishing after work last week Friday and got this sunset. Oh and a few snapper for supper, too
  9. So, anyway: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/oceania/new-zealand/galleries/26-reasons-why-New-Zealand-is-the-worlds-best-country/
  10. I had a Legacy Outback for a while, LL Bean one, with roof racks, pretty nice car. Flat 6 heaps of power...
  11. You get used to it - the idea of not doing all your own stuff seems weird to me now!
  12. I've not actually ridden down that side apart from an excellent MTB ride with niterider, but driving to meet him at Maraetai I was pretty much drooling at the oppos for road riding down that way. As he says, awesome loops out to Clevedon, through the Hunua ranges, down to Kawakawa Bay, etc. I'd live that side easily (we're on the very northern fringe of Auckland).
  13. Doesn't look like the crappiest car I've ever seen.
  14. Awesome thanks for that insight niterider - last time I did one was probably 10 years ago, remember it being a bit of a performance!
  15. Just completed the forms for our NZ citizenship. It's been a 5 year journey which looks like it is coming to its logical conclusion 'soon'. Only hassle is that I have to go to Las Vegas in May and may have to wait until after that trip before filing the paperwork, just in case there isn't sufficient time to get the citizenship and the passport before I head to Sin City... Of course, if I travel on the Green Mamba, it means a huuuuge hassle of getting a US visa...
  16. All this rapid pace of development means you need to keep a keen eye on the classifieds, heaps of bargains to be had as the 'latest greatest' okes dispose of their brand new hardly used 1x10//1x11//2x10//3x9//etc stuff
  17. On that particular note, what anyone else chooses to do with their Rondt or Dollar, or what have you, is entirely up to them. And, I want to paint his yoohoo gooooooold...
  18. More to the point, perhaps - looks awesome, but remember kids, it won' make you faster, only training will do that. Well, training and PEDs if you are into that sort of thing.
  19. You shee Mr. Powers I love gold the look of it the shmell of it the taste of it the texture, I love gold so much I even lost my genitalia in an unfortunate shmelting accident.
  20. Weather's been atrocious this last week in Auckland...maybe just as well, I have a cold so can't train anyway!
  21. Interestingly, I like the Union Jack being there. Reflective of history and all that. I'm mostly of Scottish extraction, so no good reason there for an affinity to the Brit flag!
  22. Hardcore being separated from your family. Mine returned a week ago from a 3 week visit to SA. I got really fit...but missed them so much. Sterkte.
  23. 'African' and 'Exxaro' special jerseys are a farce.
  24. Heh, I do a bit of work for Bike Wise ;-)
  25. I bank with ANZ; excellent organisation and the most impressive mobile banking app you will find anywhere in the world. It is even better than online banking.
