    This will be so cool! Imagine the impact of 500 vehicles travelling at 30kph. Imagine the TV coverage. I'll be there, hope all my mates are too

    Oh yeah, can you imagine the TV coverage, it will go down like a plate load of vomit. The socialists will be festering at the bung hole, how dare red-neck hunters and gun nuts complain that we (the socialists), are taking their life style away from them. They will be outraged.

    As for govt, they wont give a shit - as usual. They will ignore the public because it doesnt fit their ideology.

    You watch the cops, they will be calling in extra cops from Dunners, Southland, Canterbury, they will make every vehicle funnel through a check point and try and be as big as inconvenience as possible in retaliation for the people pretesting against the govt. I hope Im wrong.

    And I want to be there - but Im booked into upgrading a businesses networking that weekend

    Good luck who ever goes, lots of pictures please.

    I didn't know you could drive that fast on the AKL motorway at morning peak. Everytime I have hit that rush it would be 5km at best.....besides, with the thousands of cars already there no one will notice a few more on a motorway.

    But all the best to them down there.

    good idea 57jl. a long slow crawl past the beehive would sure get some media coverage. Obviously i can,t be there as in lock down in west oz, but i wish you all good luck and a good outcome to this blatant disregard for the people of NZ and their culture.

    Might have to give this one a nudge.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    @tetawa. Something aong those lines would be good but I think we need to target the politicians rathet than piss off ski bunnies. Perhaps a really really slow convoy both north and south simultaneously both ways on the narrow road between turangi and taupo? We wouldnt actually be "blocking the road" but with signs etc and media tv / fb / youtube involved we could perhaps make a point.?

    You're allowed to block the road if you're wearing a "patch" apparently. Maybe we need some "I love tahr cunting" patches, and it'll be all legit.
