The media will always hone in on a fact that will help them sell the story more, even when I read "4 skylines travelling north" I think "they were racing each other!"
That is the media for you. But hey at the end of the day we all know the truth so bugger the rest of them I say!.
And anyway, no one will remember in a weeks time about 4 skylines going up a hill, so don't be concerned to much.
p.s. I have travelled the said road 100's of times over the years, and on more than one occasion I have seen cars in that lane heading towards Strath ..they just fly straight by, like they own that lane.. I kid you not. It usually happens the most on the real steep part after the train lines.
