He aha te tūranga o te whatunga waka
Kei raro i te parepare o mua ngā momo waka noa, kei mua i ngā wira (hei whakamatao i ngā parai), kei mua mō te hauhautanga o te kāpata, kei runga rānei i te pouaka o muri o Miko (hei arahi ki ngā waka whakatūpato o muri). He mea ahurei te Midnet, ā, he maha ngā waitohu e whakamahi ana i tēnei hei tohu matua mō rātou.
I ahu mai a Metalchina i te mākete waka whakarerekē o Amerika i te tekau tau atu i 1980, ā, i tere tonu tōna rongonui. I tēnei wā, ko te rauemi matua o te mata whakarewa he konumohe rererangi hei rauemi turanga nā te mea he pai ake te kawe i te papa kowiri tira.
Ka whakamahia e tōna mata te hangarau whakakanapa whakaata matatau, ā, ka tutuki i tōna kanapa te pānga o te mata whakaata matomato. Ka whakamahia e te pito o muri te maimoatanga ārai-waikura pango, he maeneene pērā i te satin, ka hanga te mata o te mata whatu kia toru-ahu, ka whakanui ake i te tuakiri o te rauemi whakarewa. Ko te mata whatu motuka he kupu whānui mō te mua o te tomokanga waka e tata ana ki ngā wāhanga e tika ana, kāore e taea te mārama noa he kupenga, engari ka honoa ki te taupoki, te parepare o mua me ngā wāhanga nui o ngā rama maui me te matau, ki te kore, ka puare te waha o tō waka; Inaianei ko te nuinga o te tohu waka kua whakapirihia ki te Ipurangi, ko te tauira tino noa ko Audi! Ko tōna pūtake ko ngā hiahia o te pūnaha tomokanga waka, ko ētahi waka kei roto hoki i te taupoki o te kōhao, ko ēnei waka he reihi kaha-teitei te nuinga, engari ahakoa ko tēnei kōhao te tomokanga me te waewae, engari he nui rawa te ātete hau, ā, he nui rawa te haruru, he āta haere mō te whakamarie me te ataahua, kua pai ake i nāianei! Ko ētahi waka, pērā i te Ferrari, kua tāutahia hoki ki te taha o te tinana o te whakaurunga hau, ko ōna tauira takitahi, kāore rānei he whakaurunga hau whakamua, engari kua horahia te tikanga o te kupenga ki mua o te waha!
