That a great line vat_man.

Thanks for the pics man, really great shots, I am surprized that in Austrialia, they dont have barriers between on-coming traffic so as to avoid head-on collisions, you Aussie's must be super duper drivers to avoid that :)

No, wait..

:rotfl:

Super duper drivers.... :lol:

Seriously though, in NSW particularly it's pretty rare that there aren't barriers separating traffic directions - most of Sydney's roads are pretty narrow and the lanes aren't the widest. The Harbour Bridge is a bit of an exception, because there's no way to mount mobile barriers to deal with the variable lanes.

..and Giles - even for tourists the monorail doesn't go anywhere useful. At least the useless light rail goes to the casino!
 
its ok,Maastricht ownz it anyway :sleep:

greets Lyco :cool:

Ha! I was heading north! I went home via Centennial Ave to avoid the toll on the way home.

More guilt than sense - they pulled most of them down in the 60s and 70s.
 
Guilt is good, too, for city government. :D
 
hey mate, im just wondering what your policy on people driving with mobile phones in hand is?

get my drift???;)
 
No.

But I hate it. I almost got killed by some jackass in a 3-cyl Metro who did it the other day.
 
in other words he was speaking to vat, and implying that its the same as holding a digital camera and taking pics. wut fun! :)

I knew that. I thought it had some sort of conspiratorial Australian message.

Apparently not. :grumpy:

No - it has the ultimate safety feature - my partner as the owner.

Ouch! There go the Yokohama rims, custom exhaust and customized suspension. Three essential things for an urban orientated male.

Probably not - is that like modded cars and stuff? I only go to the Sydney Motor Show. Not a fan of the modded stuff.
 
ahhh too bad then, one of the guys from work is entering a liberty thats had a huge workover. he was babbling about it on the plane back from india, he reckons 320 kilowatts. i reckon hes got his hand on it somethin shocking.

Well, I'd heard some talk about the B4 delivering big numbers when worked up - it is a twin turbo. The Impreza can manage mid 200's fairly easily. It's 190 stock in Australia on the crook ULP, so cleaning up exhaust and ignition would pick up some pretty good results pretty quickly.

I think in Japan modders have dragged 270kw out of the RSK just with an aircleaner and a cat-back exhaust.
 
Thanks for the pictures, vat_man! Are there more photo tours of Sydney in our future...? :)
