But the gas in NJ is like 75 cents cheaper than over the border in NY, so I have no idea how any gas station within 20 miles of the border on the NY side stays in business.

Because driving into NJ involves jersey drivers and driving out of NJ involves paying tolls.

I guess if you're talking about Manhattan. I meant more like the northern border.

evilbastard posted:NT News, the greatest paper in Australia has a report that filming has started in Darwin. Cars are a Bentley Continental, a Nissan GTR and a BMW M3. Hope so, I'd love them to do a Darwin to Melbourne type run, go on a few salt pans and such, although it seems they were sticking mostly around Darwin. Segments of the Stuart Highway in the NT are unrestricted, so they could get upto some real speed there if they went to those locations. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-01/speed-limits-shelved-for-nt-highway-sports-cars/5232388 It is also the route of the World Solar Challenge and parts of the Highway in South Australia pass through the worlds largest military test range, the Woomera Prohibited Area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Highway drunkill fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Oct 23, 2014 |

"Bell end" is a reference to penises which sounds kinda like "penal colony." Get yer pitch forks, Australia.

Pfft, roadkill has already been here, I would have cared about that if I knew beforehand. TGUK already done a few rip off expensive ticket studio/arena shows in Australia. What I'd want to say to the roadkill guys: Love your work, keep going. What I would say to the TGUK guys: Surely it's about time to wrap it up? Perth: In the north it's full of the English, go down a little further and it's South Africans, then you get the wealthier 3rd gen white Australians from the old country, then the gentrified areas close to the city, often full of Italians and Greeks. Near the city and the coast (AKA "The western suburbs") they'll find their own kind in range rovers and $2-30million properties and a nice picnic spot on the grass right on cottesloe beach, and the suburbs all the magnates and politicians come from. But go too far inland and you'll hit the natives and the poor though, watch it! Too far south you might find some Asians, don't want any new faux pas again do we? Perth sucks.

As someone who grew up in Jersey, I actually don't know of a single way to leave that doesn't involve paying a toll. There are only a few border crossings to the west and south due to the Delaware and north or east is New York. They love letting you in for free but gently caress you if you want to leave.

Wouldn't be suprised if it was apparently top gear's fault that there is a toll to pay to get into Wales either, many of their earlier features were on and about the roads in Wales.

I was watching one of the episodes with the "vote on the best driving song" contest and while Hammond was describing how to vote, Clarkson put his head in frame and said "Vote for Doobie Brothers" while Hammond was all "Stop it" then right after that James put his head in and said "Steely Dan" and stuck his tongue out which utterly killed me just because of his facial expression and the fact that I never expected James to like Steely Dan.
