All About Road Trip

Longed for a road trip back home, in this nice early Autnum April, I have got the chance after stucked in a 50Km X 40Km island for 2 years.
 
 
 
Driving is a lot of fun, especially with good friends. Either cruising at 70Kmh or spinning at 150Kmh, road trips are a must for every real petrol heads, according to my Motoring Bible.
 
 
 
But the sad thing is the speed cameras and  police radars are so serious nowadays in Australia. Double demerit points and fines during weekends and holidays. Undercover cops are everywhere.......that's kind of annoying and degrade of the driving enjoyment. I asked a question that does it help to lower the accident rate? the answer is NO. Our fabulous Oz government just wanna increase their income via this "clever" heavy penalty system...what a sarcastic idea on top of our 40% tax rate policy.
 
  
 
Anyway, driving is still my favourite activity in life. In Sydney, Audi S4 was my great companion, and the Mercedes was a good runner around town. Hardly compare to my Alfa in Singapore in terms of performance and pleasure of shifting , but the luxury and comfort that Italian can't match with Germans by all means.
 
 
 
Looking forward to my F360 in Sydney in the near future and more road trips ahead. Speed limits???? What the hell is that???? I don't know and I don't care........simply just press on gas pedal and steer to the right direction!!!!
