    These signs don't always work.

    Got into a multistory carpark in a long wheelbase van passing clear under the sign, got stuck on one of the ramps as the angles reduced the available height significantly for a longer vehicle!

    They often don't think of things like that - Railways found out that they couldn't run commuter trains on one of the lines in Wgtn for a similar reason - apparently they hadn't thought about how much a carriage swings away from the centreline when going through a curved tunnel - duh

    There's an old legend that Railways lost a carriage off the wharf once.
    They sent a diver down to take a look and he came back up saying- "Which one? There's 4 of them down there"

    Seen plenty of goods go in the drink here at the Port of Tauranga. New Riviera Launch from Aussie was probably the most costly i've seen

    Trying to find the photos I have of the Fonterra Milk tanker that missed the Matakana Island ferry and ended up in the sea

    Has anyone seen the series of photos on facebook yet of things falling off the wharf in Auckland?
    A friend was showing me at lunchtime on his phone, hilarious.

    Not my finest moment, taken by some passengers in from their hotel room. It's in Rome, some lovely Italian decided to park his car on the inside of the corner so I couldn't turn left, never hit the bridge but had to reverse about 400m down a narrow windy hill and out onto a main road.
