I would just like to be able to be relaxed whilst out driving. So no idiots who dont know the rules of the road, no cockheads in beat old commodores doing skidz (with a "Z") and not having to constantly look around for the rozers and speed cameras. No roadworks and no congestion.

You know when you go for a drive and its 6am on a Sunday and theres nobody about, I would just like it to be like that all the time.

The road out of sydney, keep going till i hit the outback. Lower chances of incompetent drivers, less chances of constable kodak, more open space, open roads etc....

late at night, me and my best mate driving down south rd near the beach (melbourne) in my dad's mustang. listening to something sick like 'voodoo child'....
pull up at the lights and cruise to a stop. my ex-girlfriend's dad's car pulls up next to me in his porsche... revs his engine...
i say 'nice car. what's the retail on one of those'
he says 'more than you can afford pal... [PORSCHE]... *revs engine'
then my mate says to me 'Smoke him'
Light goes green.

When I Drive My F430 Scuderia out of the showroom.
I Will to Light Up the Rears then to my local tyre shop and to the local Track...
Provided my car doesn't get Impounded or Crushed at 1st Fantasy.

For the more achievable ones...
Drive on the Great Ocean Rd - Some what acheived when I had F6.
Drive on the AutoBahn - M3 or E55
Drive on the Nurburgring - I vaguely remember program on tv saying you can hire cars for Nurburgring experience. Think there is a business setup for this.
Build Car for Daily and 10 Sec QTR Mile.

All my Car + Girl Fantasies well Remain Fantasies... I am Married

Worked RS500 Sierra with Anti-Lag in the Austrian Alps and Swiss Alps. I drove these in a '99 Transit van this year, and it was a ball even in a 2.5Diesel. The Großglockner Hochalpenstraße is a hell of a road with 10 mountains over 3000m out each side, with the sweet noise a YB Cosworth with anti-lag echoing through the valley. That's definitely a fantasy of mine.

Got a rented Mondeo Diesel wagon up to and maintained 210 between Schweinfurt and Hamburg when last over in Europe , scared my coworker to death , told him to lighten up and live a little . Mind you we were being passed every few seconds by Benzes , BM's , Audi's , Porsches etc , you get the idea . He told me afterwards he'd never been above 100 KPH in a car in his life . For some strange reason he has refused to ever get in a car with me since that day .

Mine is fairly simple .. I would just like to take my Nitro FG XR6 over to Europe and use it over there on the motorways and byways of Britain and then take it on the ferry over to France and drive it around the Motorways and Autobahns etc.

I have driven over there a few times now in various Euro buzz boxes and they were all silver/grey nondescript colours. Nearly all the Audi's, BMW's etc you see over there are black or grey. So I'm sure that a FG XR6 in Nitro would definitly turn a few heads over there.
