I have no idea. Generally I haven't explored the forum options much, but I'm sure Steven can answer it for you.

[quote="Manukau heads observer"]good tip:
having the air conditioning on (do SI cars have that?) and the heater on at the same time is the fastest way to clear the inside of the windscreen :)[/quote

Yeah, with a cold car at 3am with 2 minutes to get to Ambo station... Doesn't matter in that situation. :roll:

What do you do, Gary? Do you have something to do with the Hydro Generators?

Chuck a nuke plant in the Waikato and both Aucklanders and dairy farmers get the power they demand, and reduces the run loss in unsightly conductors!

Another nuke somewhere near Ashburton to feed Christchurch and the power-sucking dairy down here and we're all set. :D
