    Hey they were better looking than the tosser in the Lotus. :p I'm gunna ask Alan next time he gets a hair cut to keep the offcuts for me. :D

    What a shame you missed that copper on the M2, I reckon he was doing at least 200kph when he passed us, would've been good to see that on the video. Also how funny was the guy in the tunnel driving that Proton. As if you'd speed in a tunnel. :rolleyes:

    The good thing about those roads in Sydney is they are carved out of rock. The sound in that video clip didn't do the car justice. Bouncing off the walls it sounded great. As can be seen in the video you don't have to drive fast to have fun. The police car must have thought what was going on when we were happily driving along doing 70 in an 80 zone when he drove past. :D

    B27 - not sure on the plate yet - UBER8 is on the one below :)

    Alexm - it's road registered. So mix of road and track mate. Scary.

    edit: Guard dog is in the last owner's driveway (his final pix before we picked up the car...)

    Sweet!

    Scary road car but exciting I bet.. hope don't go near any nasty speed bumps in it!

    Prev owner did the RTA thing? Wonder how hard that was..

    Would LOVE to see & hear when on the road or track so hope you drop a line in here and let us know where it might be some time..

    btw: I see UBERQK *is* available as NSW plate hehe
