I dropped of my sons Supra Turbo down the coast a little while ago. On the way I could not believe the number of highway heros coming up beside me and trying to provoke a race. Even had a police car sit beside for while(My wife who was following me, said they looked over at me, must have seen the gray hair, then took off).

I bought a 350z and everyday someone wants to race me. They just HAVE to pass me. Through unfortunate bad luck I was down to 3 points and if I farted I would lose my license so I drive to the limit. Much to the discust of most drivers. BUT the fun comes at roundabouts andtight corners. I don't slow down...still within the speed limits but way faster than the people that MUST beat me. Ha ha ha. I'm trying to build the Cobra to do the same (with a little more HP of course) Fun can be had at 60kph !  |

As my user name would imply, I have a HSV and my wife has a 99 Magna sports.
I get far more boy racers wanting to take on the magna than the Clubby.  |

There are things the police will not pull you over for, I suppose gray hair would be one of them.
You must get a good assortment of tickets.

Trularin,
It is the static cameras that seem to get most. Cameras hidden behind signs over freeways or hanging off the back side of over head bridges. Sneaky...Mmmm... 
Just f.#cking revenue collection by government that try and convince motorists that the cameras are there to save life.
The only life they save is the life of the Politician who has over spent his/her budget..

Origins of Boxing Day
A Christmas box is, in English tradition, a clay box used in artisan shops. Apprentices, masters, visitors, customers, and others would put donations of money into the box, like a piggy bank, and then, after Christmas, the box would be shattered and all the contents shared among the workers of the shop. Thus, masters and customers could donate bonuses to the workers anonymously, and the employees could average their wages. The habit of breaking the Christmas box lent its name to Boxing Day. The term "Christmas box" now refers generally to a gift or pay bonus given to workers.[5] The Oxford English Dictionary attributes it to the Christmas box; the verb box meaning: "To give a Christmas-box (colloq.); hence the term boxing-day."
Well, so Wikipedia says anyway....
regards
Mick
