Hey Mark, harden up man, take a dose of sulphur fumes and jump in the car and just do it. I still am amazed at the number of people who hate Auckland and it's traffic when it is simply no different then driving around Rotorua. My only advise to anybody is do a goggle earth search of the area you need to get too and become familiar with the layout and it becomes easy. Don't rely too much on those speaky in car map systems as I believe they will get you lost real quick. Is it Mt Wellington area you are going to to pickup your tools as if so it is even easier ?
