Superb...so nice to see a country that doesn't take themselves too seriously (and yet has a rather keen understanding of what will/won't work in the modern world...).

Shame their traffic-cops are almost as bad as the Aussies for pointless hidden speed-traps on empty straight roads in the middle of nowhere

Perhaps a tad early in the year but, would like to nominate this thread in the 'most bizarre thread title' of the year.

You were lucky it wasn't just closed. Most threads that start with a youtube link get shut...
