I dunno, I did the drive in mid-2008 lol
Yeah, the roads leading to Piha (which must be Scenic Drive?) they were quite windy anyway, proper Touge style :p... the ones we did on 'The Cannonball Run' were also pretty decent, but they are 'well' out of everyone's way heh.

Well Scenic Drive can lead to and away from Piha, depends what way you are going. There can often be a lot of traffic on Scenic dve and there are pretty much no places for passing. The road going to Piha is fun but then you just turn around and go back again. Also not a lot of room for passing. Good for motorbikes though
Re: Discussing Next Meet
Oh right - we did it at like 9-10 pm at night, so there was no one around to really worry about traffic

I'm down like Charlie Brown for anything, I do have to find somewhere to lift my car to do the engine oil and filter change first though

Re: Discussing Next Meet
i'll see if i can draw it on google. seems like its a really good route.. or we can cruise the long way past mission bay for people to seeSimonMkII wrote:The road to Kawakawa bay is pretty good. Twilight road to Clevedon then to Kawakawa bay, continue past Orere point along East Coast road to Miranda, jump back on state highway 2 for an easy cruise home or turn around and take the same road back. Either way it's about a 2 hour round trip. Plenty of places to stop for ice creams and drinks. I tried to make a map in google maps but I failed.
