You are brave souls

I just returned from a week long trip to Sydney. Saw a few 8's (A Titanium, a Blue, and I believe a light Silver...very bright sunshine could have washed out a Tit). After driving in Sydney (wrong side of the road and all that!), I think you guys are nuts for driving an 8 downtown...esp if its manual shift. The narrowness of the street lanes made me paranoid! And whats with the 30-80 km/hr speed limits? (let me guess..narrow lanes!?). Had my bit of excitement as I caught a curb heading on to the Harbor bridge..blew a tire and had to drive the bridge on the flat....

No mate, you're the brave soul!!!! You went to Sydney . Man, we avoid that place like the bleedin' plague if we can!! Yes the roads are too narrow up there, the people are ferals, and it hails baseballs every second day!

Next time get the conference shifted to Melbourne, Brisbane...hell, even Adelaide!!
Hope you enjoyed your stay anyway :D .

Cheers
Gomez.

:D you get used to it.

Driving in vietnam or pakistan is a bit more hair-raising. no lanes, and 7 trucks squeezed into a 2 car space
