I'm going to say the corner going down into the TCE tunnel too... that corner at 4am on a sat (going to work) can make for a great lead up to the tunnel with no traffic.
Failing that i agree on the tawa onramp!!!

With the subject line of this thread, I thought someone was looking to get into prostitution.......... :?

Haha. Hookers are funny.

I also like the one on raroa road (half way up aro valley) that goes up and to the right. Nice and tight, good lead in and out and no houses nearby. :twisted:

careful thats a 50km area in the central wellington area dont want to take out pedesrtians have seen it happen in my home town up north but they were running from the cops.


Yeah, I dont generally do it but it was 5am and town was compleatly dead.
wouldnt do it in daylight or before about 3am and it all depends on the night.

on the topic of corners, theres a brilliant right hand sweeper going up maungaraki hill in the hutt

my favourite is the terrace off ramp from motorway into town hard braking with armco stearing at you 3 lanes wide seriously late braking being able to be achieved.
