So are you a P-plater?
If so, I seriously don't understand yours and other peoples problems with the restrictions. There's so many legal fast P-plater cars yet people just can't get over the derp wanna have a turbo on my P's ideal. Just rack off to W.A if you wan't to drive one so bad!

like I said in the thread you made a few days ago asking the exact same question... Just wait till you're off P's just like every one else has to, what makes you so special that you should be able to drive one?

If you are driving a restricted car and have an accident, even one that if you were on an open license would not be your fault, YOU ARE UNLICENSED. You are unlicensed in exactly the same way that an auto only licensee cannot drive a manual, a car only cannot drive a bus, truck or ride a motorcycle etc. This means: 1) your insurance will be void. 2) the accident is always YOUR fault unless the other idiot is also unlicensed etc. 3) if someone is hurt or dies there is a very good chance you will spend time in jail. This is not school or playstation where if you mess up you just get another go, it is real life. If you are so desperate to drive a T6 or V8 move to Perth. |

Good, because it is the highest disregard for other people on our roads, and frankly you shouldn't have a license if you are going to act like that anyway.
Depending on your money that you have saved, there is heaps of fast cars. You can pick up an FG XR6 for low to mid $20k's For around $17-20K you can pick up a VW Passat 3CC, which is just as or maybe even faster than the XR. You could grab a 4-banger S2000, or if you have around $30-35k you can pick up a clean Passat R36, 0-100 5.6 seconds. So it's definitely not worth all the stress for a spinny thing in the engine, or an extra 2 cylinders ! |
