Traffic Light Thought–240k OK!
The Flying Spaghetti Machine clicked up its 240,000th kilometre on the way to work this morning. Is that a milestone?
Fiat Bravo
East Cape by HGT, next time GTC?
The Fiat Bravo HGT was great fun on my recent East Cape road trip but there’s another Italian three door hatch which would be even better. In fact a V12 4WD Ferrari GTC4 Lusso would be just about perfect! In a way they are even distantly related*, can you
Bravo, East Cape!
I had hoped to have a look around the Hicks Bay Motel grounds before I left but the weather was still lousy. It is on a point overlooking the bay, has a bush walk down to a small beach, apparently! I headed for the East Cape Lighthouse, about a 22km
On the road again
Way back in 2009 I drove the 5 cylinder Ferrari to Wellington to see the "Formula One ™ – The Great Design Race" exhibit. I have a week off and decided to give it some exercise and explore one part of New Zealand I haven't been to before.

Traffic Light Thought – Bravo HGT around the world
According to WolframAlpha clocking up its 166,000’th kilometre means my Fiat Bravo HGT has been around the world just over four times. (166,000 km = 4.1 × equatorial circumference of Earth). I happened to notice it on the odometer sitting at the lights in Henderson on the way
Traffic Light Thought – Honda Accord Euro, not quite
There was an Accord Euro just in front of me as I headed for the petrol station. Only one free pump, both sides empty, and I was in a hurry to get back on the road. Would he go to the left side, meaning I’d get the right and
Traffic Light Thought — Does this happen to Corolla drivers?
Although Fiats are not exotic in New Zealand they are fairly rare. I noticed a nice black Stilo Abarth at the lights opposite. Then I noticed its driver looking at my Bravo HGT. When the lights changed we passed with a friendly wave. I bet that doesn’t happen if
