Waterview connection takes flight

12 May, 2015

 

As motoring enthusiasts, I’m sure we’re all intrigued by the new tunnel that’s being built underneath Auckland. The tunnel connects the Southwestern motorway to the Northwestern motorway, and will hopefully ease a lot of traffic during Auckland’s morning travels. What I’m sure many of us are looking forward to is the 2.5km-long tunnel that we can blast through and rattle the tenants above. We can’t wait to shoot a car through the tunnel — just picture 2.5kms of rolling action-shot glory. 

Check out the video above to see a little drone fly through the soon-to-be-completed tunnel.

One of the rarest Mazdas,and amongst one of the rarest production cars in the World, a 1967 Series 1, Cosmo made its public debut at the 2025 Cromwell Classic and Hot Rod Car Show on Saturday January 18 this year.
After a challenging 5-year restoration, its proud Cromwell owner, Mike Elford celebrated its appearance along with Dunedin specialist, Mazda rotary engine builder, Cory Wilson who trallered the car through to the show.
“There are a number of details still to attend to and fine-tune the engine and then it will at last be finished. I’m very pleased with the result,” Cory said.
Mike is extremely pleased with the end now in sight of what has been a very challenging project. The tiny jewel of Japanese motoring engenuity attracted many on-lookers at the show as it sat glistening in the sun on an appropriately brilliant Central Otago summer’s day.
