If you can arrange for driving in reverse lessons for me in excess of 50, please book me in. I found the rear "wobble" a bit difficult @ 30.

Its my new plan to avoid all possibility of getting caught speeding on the SZR. I just need to sharpen my reversing skills to be able to achieve 140.

Then if i get stopped, i just switch back in to Drive and drive off onto any access road. That'll fool the cops

Mercedes sell well here not only because they are overpriced, over-rated, ego boosting status symbols, but because that nice little badge at the front of the bonnet looks like the cross hairs on a gun sight!

Handy when chasing the pedestrians across the SZR!

Damn posers, if you really were Canadian it'd be all about the "Sir Robert Borden's" F'n yank inposter.

Noxious Ozzies - I actually like them though.

Terranova do you know the meaning of "Noxious"? Is that what you really mean to say?

Ok - I'll agree with that, I thought you were saying we were noxious as in poisonous and mind polluting

The Sad Saf - These guys like to think that they're British. But everyone sees through them. And really, Cape Town isn't paradise or you wouldn't have run away to live in Jumeirah 3.

I was waiting for you to hava go at the Aussies-mate!! :lol: You weren't too critical so I forgive you! :lol:

And the best one - being asked directions by cab drivers in Hindi on a hangover when you can barely string a sentence together in English

my new pet peeve: why the heck does everyone assume that since I am Canadian I must drink like a fish?or that I know bill from toronto. and yes, i know it's fricking cold in canada. and honestly yes i do prefer the heat in dubai to freezing my ass off in tatamagouche national park.
