I think it's fine as long it's not blowing blue/grey smoke.

pretty sure I called shannons once and they told me I needed "x" years of driving experience.
I'm in Melbourne, are their policies different in nsw?
They need serious convincing that you are a Motor Enthusiast if your under 25yrs old.. Which wasnt hard for me to prove over the phone..Quote:

Yeah i want to know how u did it too :). Please share
regardless your age you need to prove to them that you are an enthusiast. i spent like 30mins chatting on the phone about cars and motorsport before they would cover me.Quote:

btw..doesn't the plastic P plate scratch the car a bit sometimes? i'm using magnetic ones atm to avoid it.
and does anyone find that their accelerator is a little too low for heel-toe? coz i'm finding it a little difficult to do it.
have to push the brake down all the way to actually reach the accel. but it could just be my small feet. =P
any views on this?
(pics will come later)
You're not doing it right :p small feet should be easier to heel toe
Don't really notice any scratches but there's always scratch x, magnetic plates got it's cons its metal rubbing against meal and that would mean scratches will occur more than plastic plates. Has happened to me with my Lexus so o never placed a mag plates on,also if it's on too long over the years will perm stick to your car and possibly melt if parked in the sun all day everyday. Another reason is also prolong use of mag plates is that your gonna have a dark square on the hood and notice a colour difference in the paintwork.
