Business etiquette 101: don’t threaten lawsuits against a customer proposing an idea which you later adopt
- Jack Yan
- Interesting to spot this link. When I started Autocade in 2008, I approached Haymarket, letting them know I was a Classic and Sportscar reader since it began in the 1980s, and I was inspired by the Sedgwick guides that it ran then. Autocade was to be an online cyclopædia that would use a brief format, […]

A tribute to Lewis Collins: the top five reasons he was awesome

The cars The Triumph Dolomite Sprint Lewis Collins’ character, William Andrew Philip Bodie (he was a ‘regal-looking baby’) had in The Professionals had more power than Doyle’s TR7. And his Capris were far cooler. So cool […]

Native plants in all traffic islands
- Wellington City Council
- We need to celebrate and protect native New Zealand plants by integrating them into the urban sprawl. Native plants attract birds and are much more attractive than the annual plants the council currently plants.It is such a waste that the flowers quickly die and go to seed and are then pulled out and disposed of.

- Social networking is bound to change in 2014 as some of the main services out there have jumped the shark. You may say they jumped them ages ago, but the lack of innovation inside Facebook and its subsidiaries is beginning to hurt them. After having campaigned for six months for the Wellington mayoralty, […]

New Mount Victoria Concrete Staircase
- Wellington City Council
- It asks for a concrete staircase, with stainless steel handrails, between Palliser Road and Lookout Road, from the gravel track entry points. Rests seats, with International Peace Symbols, would be on the way. It would be similar to the one between Elphinstone Avenue and Tannadyce Street, in Strathmore Park. It would bypass very steep paths.

Questionable numbers in Regional Council plan to close Kaiwharawhara station
- Wellington Scoop
- The reason for closure is that the overbridge which was built in 1934 has recently been deemed unsafe because too little has been spent on maintenance and it is now heavily corroded from the sea air. As a result the station has been temporarily closed. Tranz Metro and the Regional Council are now considering what to do ‘long term’ with the least cost scenario to repair the bridge requiring half a million dollars. However, the mention of this work apparently triggers the legislative need for a passenger ramps to meet wheelchair users which would raise the cost to $2.4 million. So the Regional Council Engineers want to close the station, citing – in their report to be put to the Council tomorrow – that only 14 commuters use the service in the AM peak.
