Bang! - Continued

[eiresgaus]

Much as I'd love an Aussie autobahn, can you imagine if we actually had one here in Sydney?

You'd be hammering down the fast lane at a 160km/h cruise and all of a sudden there'd be a beige camry merging into your lane doing about 40 with no indicator.

Yeah had a think after, with all the people in rustbuckets trying to hit the speed limit - things would not end well.. It would be pretty nice though to have a higher speed limit between states/major cities, like from Sydney to Melbourne.

But there's no getting past the point of the way some people drive here...

+ 2 for moist autobahn

[Galois]

+1 for driver education... then autobarn

[God_speed]

Porsche brakes would help too?

hhhmm that was close! But lucky the driver noticed that the noob was merging.

I'm not suggesting a 2 lane autobahn, but something like a 4 lane highway, with the right lane barricaded (kind of like on the bridge when entering the city) where only certain vehicles can enter that lane (like a bus lane). Pay a one off fee of $50 for each PERSON and anyone caught driving in that lane is fined $1000 and 8 points. high fine might deter camry noobs and let's face it. The government has to make some money off it or it's not Australia right?

I suggest the autobahns on roads like the hume highway or something. Somewhere emptier than others so it's safe.

The above is all bullsh!t of a world i shall build one day!!!

On a serious note, we'll never have anything epic here

[fatz]

leeway increase and everyone is talking about autobahns

lol this thread is awesome!

fsts13's idea is gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A++++ thread will read again

Time to break out a new Oz film called "3Hands"

fatz' R32 barrelling along the hume autobahn with RB25PWR's 'checkered blue'n white' in pursuit

> along comes the VFT with accomplice FST513 hangin out the window trying to shoot the tyres out of the pursuit car

> bad shooting

> misses everything except MaTBoY's 'transformer' camry coming outta side road trying to dodge bullets at 5km/hr

> T-Bones the R32

> 'checkered blue'n white rear-ends the R32

> end of "3Hands"

yeah he's dreamin'...

I would love to see an Autobahn style road, but I don't beleive the soil in Australia is stable enough to handle it without very strict maintainance... and we all know how well Parramatta Rd is maintained

[FST513]

Lol Terry love it! When is the film going into production?

And yep....There's no way NSW at least could maintain an autobahn lol. Maybe VIC? I'd do the road trip.

[bored33]

Autobahn and Nurburgring.

Have you ever watched the documentary on the Autobahn and how it is maintained and monitored? Fook me dead it's one high tech piece of road!

Plus, 15 minutes MAXIMUM from when you crash, to a helicopter touching down with a team of paramedics!

15 MINUTES!!!

We have a half an hour delay of the bird getting in the air in Wollongong after the Ambulance service requests the chopper!

[niZmO_Man]

NSW is no where near capable of handling an Autobahn. They can't even build a normal piece of road properly.

I was actually thinking about that when driving the f3 last night. There were some parts where the car (magna) was a little exciting at the speed limit, there aren't many places where 140 would be safe in it (140 because theres a smaller political party pushing for that speed).

And this would be one of the better cars on the road, serviced regularly, abs, good tyres, suspension is good, has easily enough power to get up to speed etc... as opposed to some old hyundai crapbox maxing out at 105.

Point is, in an above average car it'd be on the unsafe side, I sure wouldn't want to be on that road with everyone trying to push beyond their car's safe limits
