Imagine what the streetview driver thought as he went around the corner...

Ouch.

 

Why did streetview make such a comprehensive catalog of NZ backroads anyway? Just look at some of the crazy roads they went on:

 

Waiotehue Rd (points if you can pronounce it)

 

Gumfields Rd Pretty views of the Tasman Sea, if you're interested

 

Fern Flat Rd, which I'm sure has one car a year driving on it.

 

Sadly, they haven't been so comprehensive with the South Island or Australia. Australia does have some good roads though. I admit that I found this with the aid of google, but still.

 

 

Wow... they must really have a misconception of what direction some of those roads are going.

 

And... you're telling me that they did the Streetview... in the middle of the floods?  Wow...

Panda do you pronounce it like Wayethue?

Hmmm Weigh yet hew?

I played around with this.. checking out my family's streets.  My dad's has his dogs Buttercup and Pal in it.  And there is a car that looks like my sister's going down my street.

I'm not famed for my Maori pronunciation, but:

 

Waiotehue

 

= Wa - i - o - te - hu - e (Wa-i is a dipthong, really)

 

= Why-ee - oh - teh - hoo - ee

I should get points for effort

I've just pronounced the name of the street many times, and I believe I am capable of doing it now

 

excellent

I should get points for effort because, you are totally amazing, benevolent, the nicest person ever, quiet dashing, suave, and better than everybody.

 

I think that covers it. 

Woohoo 36 points

I think you are rite Demi, but I like my idea, hopefully Panda does to...
