There's not much to it really. Fairly laid back etc. Cops are good.
Not much of a cruising car scene on the street unless you feel like going to TDZ and racing against p-platers in mums Getz. Most of the car scene revolves around the track, and in that sense its quite good.
Most people dont like it at first as there's not as much of the typical things you can do from down south. Grows on you though, and we have places like ww2 airstrips 30 minutes from town for going nuts without the po-po caring.

sorry it took so long to write back guys.
i only got here yesterday!
and no luck on the car i doubt she would have made it up here and i couldnt afford to bring it up..
i mite just have tostart over with something i can find..
but for those interested she was/still is a purple te nothing to fancy 15" rims custom door trims resprayed dash/roof lining and carpet with a soundstream system in it. Its running gear was stock except for the 5 speed i put in it. Nothing to special but turned heads and got me around.
From what ive seen the car scene up here isnt that great, i dont think ive seen a decent import yet, and i havent seen a gemini.
whats getting around? anyone with anything above average?

mine will be above average hopefully. well for darwin the are some good cars. in the lastest hot 4's or fast fours i cant remember but my mate owes TEMPT the black supra thats in it. its alright i guess but the write up is a crop of shiet. the only decent thing about it is it sounds like a jet going pass ya at something off the clock :D :D :D (speedo only gets to 180.) :P

i would say let do a cruise but 2 off us hae no gems on the road. i shold have another soon though so will be up for one then.

see you around
