Angry Bad Roads

Had one of the worst driving experiences ever on friday just got the system thought we would drive around for a little bit see how it goes. We ended up travelling down koo wee rup- pakenham road at about 9.
Bad news the bugs down that road are so bad its unbelieveable. I had trouble gettign the s@#! off of the front of my car the next day.
Anyone else know of any roads that your have to encounter any thing like this or even just plain out dangerous roads?


Shaun

Come for a 5min drive in Adelaide, you're sure to find some dangerous roads. You can thank TSA for that one.

used to live in NSW, just come back from a short trip up there to see me best mate and his new daughter, bugs are one thing, locusts on the other hand, bout 50kms past Shapparton, actually had to pull over and wait for them to pass as the wind screen wipers couldn't cope. Hitting a plague of locusts at 110 is far from my idea of fun and when i made it to the next servo to wash the screen found that the majority of them were well over an inch long lol. As for the roads, i have lowered springs in my AU1 and as soon as you hit the Newell hwy, i've got a sore back within 10 mins of driving. Sad thing is my car still isn't low enough for my likeing lol. Will i ever learn?
