[Petrol] One for the bush-pig and the prickle ...

[dancefloorlandmine]

Last night on Top Gear the Vauxhall Holden Monaro was deemed deeply desirable. A 5.7l V8, rear-wheel-drive muscle car, coming out in the UK for around £33K ... It was doing 60 at 1500 revs ... I've driven cars that would stall trying to do any speed at revs that low ...

Not ideal for town driving, admittedly, but for petrol-heads living in the city, who only drive when they've got long distances to cover ... (They also liked the S-Type R, but it cost about 10K more. The evil Chrysler 300C Hemi was judged a near miss, due to poor ride and iffy brakes.)

Hook turns are perfectly sensible if you approach them with a geeky mindset!

But you must admit, they're not insane on the level of Sydney taxi drivers.

I learnt to drive in Sydney, around Sydney's taxi drivers (who are, admittedly insane, but not on the level of London taxi drivers). I wouldn't drive in Melbourne again unless it was in a Hummer.
