if it is the usa, what part?? and why

Or maybe Canada

Safe place to live, very relaxed way of life and you can always nip over the border to the US if you like!

Smit, should think so.

Lee. you are probably right but I still wouldnt go in the sea for shit over there would be triple checking my shoes before I put them on, bed before I got in, toilet before I sat down, shower before I get in etc for spiders..

Oz

Cyprus would have been a close 2nd but they having a MASSIVE crackdown on modded cars there now with people getting their cars taken off them (its that bad most the huge power cars are being sold abroad) so not there now.

USA and NZ look pretty decent too

Three main choices would be America, Canada and the Australia. It would be a toss up between the States and Canada for first choice even though half the family lives all over OZ.

If i went to the states i would go to California as i have friends there, if i went to Canada it would probably be Vancouver and Australia it would definitely be Perth as thats were most of the family lives.

Come to oz but its not all as rosey as what it seems in the UK! Although definately better.

Long open roads - not even worth considering speeding as just as you want to put your foot down there are signs saying "Police Helicopter Air Patrols" or police hiding in bushes with no warning. NT has no speed limit though I believe.

Coma estas?

I'm off to spain in 2006. Probably in Calida or Almeria. Why?

1. no road tax
2. gas water and electric for ALL 3 a year is Ł120 not EACH a year
3. fuel 46.5 that was in september 2004
4. spanish easy to learn as i am doing
5. 2hrs away from uk
6. large ex pat community
7. 50 mins away from ibiza for clubbing
8. guiness E1.50 pint
9. no council tax as such, evryone pays the same of about Ł260 a year



what other better reason to go there?

i would consider the us, canada, nz and oz. but would need to spend a decent amount of time over there befre making a decision. places, people and culture can appear very different after a couple of years than after a couple of weeks.

USA (California) or Australia. But some states in the USA have stupid rules when it comes to modified cars...

would love to go to australia cos you dont get half the shit you get in this country, and it has decent weather!

Think it can be a nightmare to get into Canada, think you have to be bringing them some good, something like you do a good job or have a good skill!

Rules you out then Dom!!!

Might get on to Australia and warn them now, get you ass bared!!

Went to a few places in Oz on my honeymoon last year. Brisbane is a fantastic place(as is most of southern Queensland) could definitely see myself living there. Nice weather all year,cheap fuel,property and loads of pubs/beaches etc. Never found anywhere crowded. 19 million people in a place the same size as the USA,not gonna be busy is it!
Never saw anything dangerous apart from Steve Irwins crocs.
