I often take the vintage Fezza for a run though "The Royal" (national park). I've discovered the corner speed advisory signs can be ignored by a factor of 3.

e.g. if the advisory is 15km an hour, you can safely negotiate the corner at 45km an hour....have fun and and still avoid a speeding ticket.

This becomes hilarious when a P-Plater (usually in something Japanese with "fully sick" body kit) sees something mid-engined and low ahead, who then proceeds to rapidly catch up and expect some sort of race or to tailgate or both.

I'm usually 1/2 way through the first hairpin ahead when the nose of the car behind will violently dip, with a puff of blue smoke off the tyres, plus a little slalom to regain control for good measure...

Even a humble 45km hairpin can totally make my day
