i much prefer the motorways over here in the uk and europe. people know what a freakin fast lane is, and generally keep left (or right eu) and if you come up behind them above the speed limit they get outta your way. Its not always the case, but its bliss compared to getting stuck behind people in the fast lane in Perth. But on the opposite I drove what should have taken about 15 minutes through london yesterday and it took about an hour. Not planning to drive in london too much any more.

london does my head in for driving

and i get what ya saying about the fast lane over here but then thats speeding as all lanes are 70mph lol

but people do tend to move me i just wave at them when they flash there lights at me coz its usually when i am overtaking someone in the middle lane when they appear behind me a 100mph plus

you will be bored, no twisty b roads, coppers in every bush, multinovas inbetween the coppers, huge speeding fines..... but less traffic, i'd take up 4wd driving for thrills, much more scope for getting out in the bush and camping, cant be beaten, hence the halt on spending cash on the wrx and investing in a bush basher with all the trimmings.

You guys haven't experienced real driving until you drive in Paris centre. I was nearly in 3 serious accidents within less than 10 minutes. I don't think they use 'give way'. They use 'just pull out and hope for the f##king best'!!!!!
