Dannevirke, in contrast, is an enlightened community which, for over 5 decades, has permitted the use of it's facilities for some of the very best motorsport ever to have been seen in this country.
We are told, and which is borne out by behaviour, that Aucklanders procreation habits seldom venture outside of the family unit.
It's interesting that Crunch has brought Taihape into the discussion. THE town and car club which, more than any other in the country, embraced what NZ motorsport is about and delivered, year in year out, the very opitomy of motorsport utopia.
Interesting also that Palmerston North is home to the current President & senior Vice President of MSNZ. Need I say more?

When were you last in Auckland? 1960? About a third of our population are Pacific Islanders, another third are from the Asian subcontinent, there are a few rich white pricks who live in Remuera and Parnell but the rest of us are pretty much exactly the same as everyone else in NZ. Except people from Canterbury who are, let's face it, often a little strange (and there are quite a few of them living up here now too)...
