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.

Super affordable supercar

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
