Yeah lol.

Another mate wanted to street race me today and I just said no.

It's using a lot of petrol too which is strange. (happened when I put a new O2 sensor in).

Nice to know the maturity of the 'old school' drivers is as low as it was in the thread. I never claimed to be an expert at all, in fact all I talked about was cars getting looks (you need a license for that of course). Or do you not remember that after exaggerating it to extreme proportions with the bandwagon following you?

And to EAadam, hopefully within a month. I failed the first time for driving too fast in a school zone.

There was no "exaggerating" at all, only fact.

But what would the "bandwagon" know anyway, they only have a few hundred years of combined car driving/restoring/racing experience.

Next time we will all just concede, a Learner knows better.

Next time 'we' will not bother trolling and starting another bandwagon in a completely unrelated topic. Grow up.

No trolling at all, just seeing the facts come out.
Ohh and do stop with the attacks before a holiday is granted.

Well done on acquiring your license as well. Drive safely and sensibly. If your friends want to hoon then wish them a good night and be on your merry way.

I assume your in south east suburbs of Melbourne or on the Mornington Peninsula somewhere. Most people enjoy driving to Sorrento down the coast road, or you could go inland a bit to Red Hill and through the wine country. Depends how far you want to go. Even the Mornington Peninsula freeway down to Rosebud is a nice drive. None of the crappy traffic of the Monash.

If you want to go further you could head in to East Gippsland. As somebody who grew up in Mornington and did all the coastal stuff as a P plater with my mates and now lives in East Gippsland they are both nice areas for a drive on a warm sunny day.

Happy driving :eclipsee_

Excellent choice !!!! Down along Boneo rd through the National Park is fabulous.....
ILLaViTaR - you'll have plenty of great roads to choose from.
