From Auckland's North Shore mate, the 1.5km hill going up East Coasts Rd is the perfect place to demolish commuters.

Cricket is not New Zealand's strong sport unfortunately Too many spinner, although I look forward to the Rugby World Cup...

Yes that was a pretty low point in Aussie cricket - the team was booed off the ground too, I believe, so clearly the fans didn't approve either.

You just can't win can you? Either you irritate them by sucking their wheel or blow past them like no yesterday. So which form of buzz is worse for the recipient?
