I drove to Sydney from Melb and back non stop within 20 hrs....roughly 2100 kms

another time Melb to Surfers, QLD, 2200 clicks non stop, well only fuel stops...

I love driving, and even more when on my own, no passengers...

There is just the small question of the English Channel and the Aegean Sea in the way…

Nice trucking Boom

A few nights ago I looked again for the Piraeus - Limassol Car Ferry. Still suspended but I hear it may run this summer. I would so like to do this to get away from these damned airline rip-off merchants.


Cheers Bill, just love driving, and fast driving at that...

I am currently celebrating, on the quite, my 5th driving suspension, currently at 3 months and the time before that 9 months...

But all that with my Victorian license...I have numerous state licenses...ahh plenty of ways of skinning a fox...

PS...mind you driving is proving to be an expensive exercise with all these damn get quick sceeming Arabs...

Me and 2 girls are flying back to the UK this Friday to Tuesday over the Easter weekend for £700 GBP for the 3 of us through CA. Not bad times as well!

Boomerang , you should be ashamed of your self , more so since you give the impression of being thoroughly proud of being a lousy and a dangerous bloody driver !! Let me tell you young man , there is more than one way to kiss your arse good bye and let the maggots eat your balls. Grow up and start driving safely without endangering my life and the lives of my loved ones , you may think its cool to be f..ng stupid but its much cooler 6 ft under mate.
Sorry to tell you off but you know I'm right !!

Milti driving fast does not equate of being a bad and a louzy driver...Just look at the autobahns in Germany...no speed limit restrictions...

PS...I am not as young as you might think I am... :lol:

British Airways are taking the piss charging £717.60 for a flight taking off at 8.30 am and returning late afternoon on Wed 26th.
Cyprus Airways , usually also rather expensive are charging for the same flight times ie take off 8.45 am and depart at 17.45 from Larnaca back to Heathrow £333.70 !!! The difference is HUGE £383.90 more than Cyprus Airways !!! BRITISH AIRWAYS TAKE NOTE !!
How on earth can you justify charging more than DOUBLE for the same flight !! These jokers ought to be told that they are taking the piss , I will most certainly email them and tell them so !! What a load of Plonkers !!!


Well don;t book with BA then and find someone else. Why moan about it?

This reminds me of a time when I was in the US and I drove from San Jose to Las Vegas...I hired a car, a Buick, a yank tank...

I was driving very fast, actually flat out when out of nowhere a policewoman, in her highway patrol, was chasing me...well I stopped, she gets out of the car with the pistop in her hand pointed at me, and asking me to get out of the car...I obliged and kindly asked her not to point the damn thing on me...she refused and said I was not in a position to ask for anything...

She asked for my license, I showed her my Oz license...then she puts her damn toy away...

Well she started giving me a lecture, as to, she can through me in the slammer for going so fast for the night and see a judge the next day...She also said that she wouldn't disrespect my counties road rules...

I said I was sorry, then she proceeded to tell me where the other cops would be hiding on the highway...as to avoid getting caught again...I ended up staying the night in some remote town, and she took me out for dinner... :lol: ...it was a good night...

I put it down to the good old fashion Cypriot charm... :lol:
