You're going 120km/h with the 'park brake' on? And taking a photo at the same time. Surely that illegal?! :p

ShadowGT · July 4, 2008

I'm going 110km/h & my handbrake decided to jam up on me the otherday but luckily it is a pissweak handbrake so i can still drive my car till i get it fixed. BTW i didn't notice i was speeding till i checked the photo out after i got home lol. Although the fastest i've been is 145km/h (Inline 6 FTW) on the new EASTLINK tollway near where i live(kinda funny cos a guy had his car impounded & licence suspended for going 135km/h on the same tollway a day earlier)

hehe. i did 180 on the manila skyway. no speedlimit rocks!

ShadowGT · July 4, 2008

Hehe nice. i would of pushed her harder but at around the 140 mark she only crawls up the speedo & i didn't want to stay at them speeds for too long incase i got spotted by a cop.

tut tut tut speeding isn't big or clever but it sure beats sticking to the crappy speed limits

July 4, 2008

technically it isn't considered speeding if there isn't a speedlimit. oh well, here's a tip. only go fast when you can control the car. don't let the car control you.

German Autobahn FTW! Going 200km/h and then you see a sign with 100 (with these stripes, so you cand drive faster there lol), OOPS! :D

lol. autobahn pwns the skyway since it's longer. :p

*grumbles about crappy british motorways with 70mph speed limit*

July 4, 2008

that's good enough. our speedlimit here (in exception of the skyway) is 100km/h but 120 is still acceptable.

Baltoman · July 4, 2008

Our is 80km/h

Pherelas · July 4, 2008

There is a great bit of road near us on the M3 which is downhill for ages :) Mate managed 115 in a saxo lol with 4 people in the car. Perfect safe as it was empty and its very straight.

No one pays any attension to speed limits in this world, apart from the annoying idiot that do, shame that there bringing in avarage speed cameras :(

Mb · July 4, 2008

That's why i love to go to Germany.

Damn, Autobahn is so much fun :D

I have to go there again, hopefully with a Ferrari. :)

Who · July 5, 2008

I love the fact that my bike only goes 50, it turns national speed limit roads into autobahns ;)

ShadowGT · July 22, 2008

Well I've had my car for about 3 or 4 months now it's time to go car shopping again :) My Falcon was never meant to be a permanent car (Plus the Transmission is on it's last legs) & so i have started looking around for a new car.

I found this on a car site for $7,800 It's a performance utility Ford Falcon XR6 that was done up as a show car. I'm gonna do some looking into it & if everything looks legit try & organise a loan to buy it. What do you guys think?

I'm hoping no one else notices it as a car like that at that price will sell quick.

July 22, 2008

drive a manual :p j/k

looks nice :D fix the interior though

iBilo · July 22, 2008

Wow I want that car. :P

ShadowGT · July 22, 2008

I promised my dad i'd save $3000 before i'd take out a loan for a car but i might have to try & convince him to let me get a loan now (total bank balance $200 lol) I WANT THAT CAR!!! (as long as it doesn't turn out to be a lemon)

Nige · July 22, 2008

July 23, 2008

Yep you couldn't of explained it any better.

*EDIT*

*sigh* My dad is being a tool :( The car may sell before i can get the finances together for it :(

ScaR · July 26, 2008

hmm, been inactive for a while. That XR6 looks OK shadow, maybe a little overpriced, and the paintjob aint exactly uh good? lol. I might actually post a few pics of my car tomorrow (which is my first of course)

+1. When we went, it was an Audi A6 1.9TDi, but it was still great fun. We hit 125mph! Actually that isn't the fastest we've been in it. Me and my dad went 130 in it on a dual carriageway near my town (at 10pm), whereas in Germany we had a car laden with holiday gear, and were going slightly uphill...but still.

And Mb, how about we have a race on the autobahns (...I mean a cruise...:cheeky:), you in a Spyker, me in an Aston. Yeah? :lol:
