How do you enjoy fast cars in Australia/NZ?

[A44RON]

Hi all,

I currently live across the pond in NZ, but the same applies over in Aus, as the authorities here tend to copy your rules.

How do owners of BMW M cars, Audi RS', Porsches, HSVs etc cope?

I've got a Z4 Coupe 3.0SI and I'd wager I never use more than 50% of its performance potential here. Anything with more than 250bhp just seems a waste of time, imo.

How do you feed your passion for driving down here?

Cheers

are the fines not huge for getting caught with that - and don’t they have radar detector detectors?

WA they are legal .. and yes, they have detector detectors, by that time I've scrubbed off enough speed and give them a wave.

Brilliant

My Valentine V1 radar detector got stolen a few months ago and I'm in two minds about buying another one (they're legal here). Suppose it would pay for itself after a short while.

Some of the boys in blue here do a sneeky thing of turning their radar on only when you're in striking distance (c200 metres) to try and catch you out, if there's no other traffic around.
