Yes Auckland Airport is running a small betting operation on the side on this one.
Given the car will use the taxiway (old runway), plus the fact that there is an oily old DC-3 taxiing up and down as we speak, and the prospect of rain, I'd say you shouldn't be going...if it's not on a Boeing

Is anyone else having trouble watching the video? Mine just shows a black screen with those annoying two dots going round and around. :angry:

Edit: TV3 video seems to be working fine for me here if anyone else is having problems with the Herald. ;)
