We get the occassional supercars here and I have encountered them on winding roads with short sight lines. The cars are absurdly impractical in a country with a strictly enforced 100 kph limit. Hard to get into, no luggage space, bumpy ride, road level outlook, never challenging except to park. One of our media personalities drives one through city roads a couple of miles to work. It would be more convenient and attract just as much of the sought after attention in a Seven.
The Internet has ruined once pleasant places. It took effort and a map to hunt out obscure and interesting spots. About 20 miles west of Auckland on a narrow unsealed road, the last seveal miles free of houses, is quite a wild coastal spot and harbour entrance which only the keenest of locals sought out. Most Aucklanders have only been there once or twice, or never . I encountered a couple of young German girls off the plane that morning on their way directly there in a campervan.
