i'll check.

But don't forget i'm male, so I can't navigate, and will also never admit my mistakes, so i'm sure you must be wrong and I am right

I was looking at the new Subaru forrester 2.5 XT Turbo yesterday. Will that do as well

God, I like the car prices here !

haha there are a few cars I have my eye on after going to the motor show last week but nothing I'll be able to afford for the next 40 years unfortunately

Pootle

what makes me laugh is that in the short time that I have been here ( 9 days) I cannot beleive how many souped up, top of the range, muscle cars are on the road, and NOBODY speeds. Obviosly it happens, but if the speed limit is 100, maybe you get pased by a car doing 107, but thats rare. Everybody seems in no major hurry. I love it personally, and i'm an idiot normally on the roads, but here if you pull away from the lights at what I find a normal speed, you leave everybody behind, and i'm driving a 1.3 toyota corolla.

You can't have been on the Western Ring Road :scared: we are forever getting people pulling alongside looking for a race when we are in the MR2. We had 1 crazy P Plater pull away from the lights and drive at high speed around a corner on 2 wheels :scared: Williamstown used to attract all the hoons too, but bollards have been installed to prevent high speed driving

I know it must happen, but i'm so used to Holland. I read on internet yesterday, an old lady of 79 was stopped after driving 180km per hour, overtaking on the inside (illegal of course !) and refusing to stop for a police car. They chased her for over 15km !! :scared:

"LELYSTAD - Een automobiliste van 79 jaar gedroeg zich zaterdag als een wegpiraat. Zo scheurde de vrouw met ruim 180 kilometer per uur over de A6, haalde ze rechts in en negeerde ze meerdere stoptekens van de politie. De politie Flevoland had de handen vol aan de capriolen van de vrouw, zo meldt het korps zondag.

De vrouw uit Drachten werd in de buurt van Bant in de Noordoostpolder opgemerkt door een agent. Pas na een achtervolging van tientallen kilometers kon ze nabij Lelystad door twee motorrijders aan de kant van de weg worden gezet. Ze moest haar rijbewijs ter plekke inleveren. De politie weet niet waarom de bejaarde vrouw haast had. "

hahahahaha oh my god, I wonder what her excuse was I wish they made overtaking on the inside here illegal, it can be scary sometimes when you have a truck overtaking in each side

In the paper last week it mentioned a Porsche driver who had been clocked on a speed camera doing 250km/h (roughly) on the Westgate freeway. I wouldn't lke to receive that fine

A Dutch guy was caught driving 220km in Germany a little while back.

With a trailer !!!!

Teliko21

Wow that is shocking ! :scared: I watched a programme awhile ago about autobahns and vowed never to drive in Germany

furkew

trust me it's fantastic.

I have used them on a number of occasions, and if the germans see a sign which says 100km max, everybody slows down, passes the obstacle, and with 500m they are driving 200km again.

It's a weird feeling driving full belt at 220km p/h and being flashed at by the car behind you because you are in the way.

Teliko21

No wonder you are impressed with the driving here then

furkew

thats why I want the Forrester 2.5 XT turbo 0-100 in 6.0

(I feel i'm too old for the Imprezza 2.5 WRX STI)

Teliko21

The WRX seems to be a real boy racer car I have seen some strange looking ricer versions :scared: Some people have too much time and too much money :scared:

furkew

I know.

I have wanted one for about 12 years, but just too expensive in Holland.

Here they are everywhere !

It has spoiled it for me a little. I used to have a Forester, and they are fantastic motors. Now with the top of the range model, you have luxury, and performance. Another thing that helps is my € goes a long way when looking a cars.



Now just convince the wife
