some people are looking at 2-3hour journeys
Drive from Wiri to Mt Wellington, Google maps said 21 mins yeah right! I thought Goggle Maps must be broken.

So from when I drove out of the carpark at 5:45pm in Wiri to my home in Mt Wellington it took me 16 minutes, here is the kicker I was driving pretty much 80K on the motorway to the Mt Wellington off ramp. Go figure.

Met service can't predict crap, I think I had the wipers on wiping every 5 seconds didn't see any of the "70mm of rain from 5pm to 7 pm" prediction.
