NOF41R Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 My father told me just recently about a corporate weekend he was running. His boss asked him if he would like to go for a drive after the days workshops etc. He said sure, as the guy is his boss, and they proceeded to climb in his MY01 rex. As my father retold the story, I could hear the fear in his voice. He said he nearly needed to clean himself. The guy took him on some weird backroads. He said at one point he looked over, and the speedo was reading about 170. Moral of the story? drive quick enough to remind yourself you are alive.

two40 Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 the speedo was reading about 170. Moral of the story? drive quick enough to remind yourself you are alive.[/quote:4650d16cec]I like that moral. I've only ever been past 170 twice, as I've never been on a track, and I tell you it's f*****g scary on a Sydney road. I clocked my car, heading southbound from the domestic airport and I never knew how bumpy this road was until then. It's a fairly new road but going that fast you tend to feel more of its flaws. Don't think I'll be doing that again. :mrgreen: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggala Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I've only been over 230 once and I cant wait to do it again. I lived in eurpoe and you could just sit your car on 200 all day it was great so it doesn't worry me meggala Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
two40 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Where in Europe? Were you born there? How do the roads compare to Sydney ones? I'm from Europe too but I was too young to remember most things. My dad used to tell me stories of when he used to go to Germany. Those autobahns sound cool. You're doing 180 and the steering wheel is starting to shake and all of a sudden whoooosh. A BMW just passes you with no effort at all. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-207 Share on other sites More sharing options...

two40 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 God damn Greek chicks make good wives. I come from Macedonia, just north of Greece and we came here for the same reason. Better life quality. Life is much more simple there though, slower pace. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

two40 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I hear Japan has excellent roads. You can deck a car like you're about to enter a track race and you won't scrape a thing. That's why you see all these imports come in with stiff as suspension. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph1 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 its a myth, the roads in japan are no better than here. apart from the freeways, but theyr no better than the pac motorway in qld. syd roads are a joke. for the amount of money you pay for rego down here you would expect some decent motorways etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggala Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 melbourne roads are great once you get alittle away form town and the freeways and tollways are great . The roads in greece were bad you have to learn how to overtake around corner or else you never get any where meggala Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-213 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squizz Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I wish I got bedtime stories like that, but 170 isn't that exciting anymore, although with no licence for a whil just being able to do 40 is going be great :cry: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13-scary/#findComment-216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
