These cats are easy to come by in Europe for very decent prices. Reason is that the market for these cars is not too big due to the very high road taxes, fuel pricing and absurd insurance rates. As for it being great to live in Germany, last monday a friend of mine found his car impounded by the autobhan coppers after flooring his car over 160 mph on a piece of highway which had speed limit. He just missed the sign 130km/h max. We had to pick him up as he wasn't allowed to drive back home. He also missed the TUV approval for the turbo set up. Stupid.

I didn't think they pulled people over in germany becuase it is very dangerous, especially being on the side of the autobahn. At least, this is just what I heard...

Whit,

Why it sucks when I live in Australia.
- nice roads but you can't drive over 110kph cos the coppers or speed cams will nap you.
- enforcement systems are so efficient, they will mail you a ticket efficiently.
- high taxes and high parts prices.

- copper there sweep bodies off the north loop!!!. Friend was doing test runs there (few years back) when two Porsche turbos crash there. Was very messy and ugly, road closed for few hours...
