Not sure. But judging by most people here you should be able to find one in the cereal isle of your local supermarket. Quite often found in the bottom of Kellogs Corn Flakes boxes.

I've been to the site and now I'm more confused.

Since I had my P's before these rules came into force in Queensland shouldn't I be allowed to drive a V8?

What's the go with "high powered restrictions" only applying to under 25's?? Is a 26 year old with no driving experience somehow better than a 24 year old with no driving experience?

I have a mate younger than me with a QLD licence and drives a turbo R33 so whats the loophole?

Would've got it before the rules were introduced.

I think you'll find that if you transfer over your NSW P Plates to QLD, you'll fall under the new rules and won't be allowed to drive a V8, or turbo/super charged car unless it's one mentioned earlier.

If your licencse in NSW is unrestricted and you got it before the Qld law change i'd say you should be fine, but thats just my oppinion.
