The only place in Australia where I could have legally driven at that speed would have been in the Northern Territory (where there were no speed limits on the open highway - I think this has now changed), however the roads there are so bad, that nature imposes it's own speed limit. In short a top speed of 100 mph is useless anyway. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[email protected]>
