Interesting story about the Nullarbor. Given the heat out there it surprises
me that any cops bother to try to catch speeders. Just shows how desperate
they are for revenue these days!
Oh, interesting tip for race car towers. If you have a Metro 6R4 put it on
the trailer backwards. If you put it on frontwards, you can create several
tons/tonnes of downforce on the trailer and most will pop their wheels off
at speed!
Regards,
Patrick
