How about a general chat about the car scene in Australia?

As I regular visitor to Sydney and Melbourne ( but not a resident ) I must admit that I get the impression that it can be harder to be a petrolhead down there.

A couple of friends of mine have settled in and around Sydney, and I must admit that although they once had petrol in their veins, it seems to have been replaced with some of the fine wines you have there !

A mate of mine was into Caterhams and stuff - moved to Sydney to live with his Aussie girl, and he now drives an X -trail ( an automatic one, too )

Why is this? Is it because of the speed cameras and that everyone seems to drive pretty slow?

I suspect it might be better out of the large cities. Or do the cops ruin it ?
