Fiat
On today’s bike ride caught a Mito* at the lights. It looked great in gloss black, nice music audible from within, attractive blond at the wheel but something seemed strange, wrong. Couldn’t figure out what until the light turned green. There was a burst of starter motor and
A previous Traffic Light Thought told how I often see a, quite rare, red Alfa Romeo Mito (below) heading, against the normal flow, west on my morning commute. Today I’m pretty sure I saw Mr Mito in a lovely red Alfa Romeo Giulietta (right). Was it a dealer loan
This was actually a Doggie Walk Thought but occurred while waiting to cross the road. I watched a Refuse Receptacle Technician carefully installing something near a local bus stop. She’d finished & gone by the time I got across the road but I discovered it was the Auckland Council
The speed limit at a local park seemed strange: 16? Then I realised its probably a pre-metric limit literally converted. New Zealand went Metric when? 10 mph = 16.09344 km/h
Knew it was nearly time for the scheduled 140k service but rather surprised to stop at the shops on the way home, look down and see...
I see a lot of cars on my commute but a few recent ones have stood out: * Ferrari F40: Yes a real one, in West Auckland no less. At first sight I wondered if it was a kit, one of those MR2s in drag maybe?, but no doubting it was
I blame those “it’s not a target” adverts. Why are people dawdling along at limit –20 on the motorway when there is no reason to do so? It may not be a target but it should be a goal!

Traffic Light Thoughts
Was it a display of extreme precision driving to get so close to a gate post it left a mark on the rear wheel arch, which could be buffed off without damage*, or extreme stupidity to be near it at all? * It was a fuzzy rough sawn soft pine post
I’ve been trying the TOMTOM traffic and finding it pretty useful but when the nice lady says: “The delay on your route is nineteen minutes, You are still on the quickest route” I wonder if ignorance actually is bliss
Approaching the motorway both lanes have a car waiting at the red light. Following the quicker will mean getting to the motorway faster & avoiding having to overtake once there. I went for the Alfa 147 lane as it seemed obvious the stereotypical Alfa driver would beat the Volvo V70
I wonder why there is about 650 metres of “open road” (100km/h) on ramp between 50km/h Onewa Rd and the 80km/h zone approaching the Harbour Bridge? 1. I join the on ramp from Sylvan Avenue. 2. About 150 metres (estimated) along the on ramp a sign indicates
