AllTorque Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 There needs to be an "Epic Roads" thread made and stickied. I drove to New Plymouth and back last weekend and clearly missed all the good fucking roads. Also, fuck me Whanganui is a poohole of a place. NP is rad as shit though! //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/45165-favourite-driving-roads/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transom Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Good plan You can see the snow while having a wine and be glad you are not trying to drive in it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Good plan You can see the snow while having a wine and be glad you are not trying to drive in it I even turned down the courtesy car. Driving in Christchurch is too hard. So many "no right turns" and "no left turns" and the lack of right turning arrows in general. Tried going round the block because I couldn't turn right into the street I wanted but then couldn't turn left onto it after going around the block. Fuuuuuuu. Ended up driving down some cobblestoned tram track thing that I don't know if it was legal. So damn confusing. Why is it so hard? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 What's the story with the tram road things? I followed a joker down one bit but then he turned off and I kept going. I felt like I was doing something naughty the whole time. So many friendly people though. It's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Walked around CHC a bit tonight. Still amazed at the amount of work needing to be done. I hope someone's documenting it and writing a book about the rebuild. Must be so many stories about some of the buildings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
