It was the Critic article that said Braunias & Romanos were sacked.

If you own a Humvee for example, you should be going to war just occasionally, or at least training for such.
Or you probably should own it in a city where the roads are wider than the vehicle - not Wellington for example, but there are one or two here.

Vans, trucks, buses and horsefloats need to be that big by virtue of their function. Likewise, by virtue of their function, they are quite rare.
Not so rare on State Highway 1 Stephen. Quite common in fact.

the car of choice for the nation's most self-centered people
I often wonder about SUV drivers.
Heh! As the owner of a BEAST of an SUV... I can tell you the choice was made by the primary driver, who feels the cold & fell in love with the heated seats.
That and the 20 or so airbags, since we travel notorious parts of SH1 at least once a week.
Although when it's time is up, iot'll be replaced by something that costs a fraction of this thing to run.
As for being intimidating to other drivers and hard to see around - not even close to the impact of the average articulated truck that shares the highway.
And for anyone that scorns SUVs that never leave the paved road... I assure you I've had to drive up on the curb on more than one occasion.
Left to my own devices, since someone asked about compensating for body parts... I prefer very small cars, my first was a Fiat Bambina.

imagine how long your trip would take you if you were in a horse and cart, and chillax.
You might not need to imagine in the not so disant future.

John Carter is an easy target. He only holds his seat because so many of the Labour voters in his area are on the Maori roll.
This is something I often wonder about - the implications to existing electorates should the maori seats be canned. Otaki (and Darren Hughes) would be in the same boat as Hone.
Has anyone done any research?
