Scary

[NOF41R]

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

Fellow Wog !!

i was born in Croatia and moved to Aus in '93...

We had a Jetta over there, and the roads were brilliant...specially the roads in Hungary...one of the best countries when it comes to road quality if u ask me...

[two40]

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.

[ph1]

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

[meggala]

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

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:
