After a while all the termite mounds start to look a bit samey. And you wouldn't want to slow down for Tennant Creek in case you broke down there and ended up having to stay the night.<BR/><BR/>But the fun bits are the dirt roads. I lose my nerve at about 130.

Everyone is like, she was speeding for a rugby game. They should be saying "yeah, but she was speeding for a RUGBY GAME". Big difference.<BR/><BR/>And David, it is all fun and games til someone loses and eye.<BR/><BR/>And I imagine your open roads are quite, er, sparse?Martha Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957983119339597847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11519269.post-1126763194834833612005-09-15T17:46:00.000+12:002005-09-15T17:46:00.000+12:00I'd die of embarrasement if you caught me going as...I'd die of embarrasement if you caught me going as slow as 120 on a motorway.<BR/><BR/>I'll avoid mentioning a run from Verona towards the Brenner Pass when I was travelling up over 200. That ate up the kilometers. Or the trip from Calais back to the Netherlands where I avoided dropping below 160 until the poxy junction at Ghent where the vehicle starts to roll at any speed over 120. <BR/><BR/>AsDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558762291594764241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11519269.post-1126745378361628802005-09-15T12:49:00.000+12:002005-09-15T12:49:00.000+12:00yeah, and it didn't mention how they almost KILLED...yeah, and it didn't mention how they almost KILLED people by swerving onto the footpath.
