Buy yourself something N/A and lightweight, go to the track and have some fun, do some driver training, then when your off your P's not only will you have the ABILITY to drive a turbo car to its full extent, but the thrill you will get of going from a lowish powered N/A car to a high powered turbo car will DEFINITELY be worth the wait.

Just the feeling of getting your license and being independent is good enough, i wouldnt jeopardise that IMO.

Think of it this way, if you get caught, you wont be able to go round to that girls house in the middle of the night with no license and car :P

I reckon you would have to be mad to risk it-

I have had my unrestricted licence for years, but every time I get signalled into a roadside RBT station, (at least 4 times in the last 6 months!) the first question they ask is "are you a P-plater?"... Must be the childs face I have on..

drove my car on my p's for about 4 months everyday... just dont display your p-plates and avoid late night driving..

I dont recommend you do this but if you have no choice thats the best thing to do...

Highway patrol's can quite easily catch you... but if its a normal patrol car on the street just hope he doesnt take a second look at you...

its absurd how many P platers run turbo cars and just happen to have gotten there licence before the restrictions came in. :laugh:

The restriction came out in July 2005, so to have gotten your red p before it came in would mean being on your P plates without being disqualified for 5 years.

I got my Red p in 2003 and have been on p plates ever since due to one disqualification that came from driving while suspended for fine default.

Personally I drive a turbo car everyday, even though the restriction was added for me in 2007. I've had v8's and turbos before that, so It's basically a punishment, not a safety concern. I haven't put a p plate on any of my cars for about 1 year now, but I don't look like a p driver and my licence doesn't say Provisional across the top because its a heavy vehicle driver licence, that probably helps.

A old mate of mine had his licence suspended for 10 yrs because he kept driving whilst disqualified, He initially lost it for being booked a few times and lost his 12 points, if you dont need a licence and have lots of money to pay fines go for it but think of the long term consequences

id risk it, you only live once, right?

Terrible advice. Yeah you only live once, so why make it miserable with no license and losing money from fines? And like the dude above me said, when it's midnight and you wanna drive to your missus' house... GL.

They are...

The older V6 commodores love to get on the break... The 3.6L prefer to make power in revs over torque, and aren't as easy to have fun with.

yeah i figured bout the revs over torque.. but thanks i guess. though it is a ute so end is gonna come out easy anyways :D.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
