Well....

Yesterday was a beaut day, sun shining, not too cold and a perfect day for a drive.

Spent the morning washing the car, got it all spruced up as I'd promoised to take my Dad for a drive in my car, and I felt 4 months after I bought it it was about time to come good on that promise Smile



Anyway....pulled the targa off, cranked the tunes(listening to "The Verve" which is the only music me & Dad can agree on)started off from Hornsby leisurely drive along, hit the 80 zone and was having a great chat to Dad, then Old Pac then goes single lane, for quite a while @ 80. So then all of a sudden up in my rear mirror pops a Blue Commy SS, a Lime green Falcon GTP & some other random V8 beast.

Since they wouldn't overtake(me on red P's + conservatively driving parent in car) me they just sat in tow.

The road started to get windy, but I didn't let off the accelerator one bit, whilst staying right on 80. I'd never driven my MR2 on the Old Pac before and it was soooo stable!

I noticed that the SS was lagging behind on the corners, then caught up in the straights(speeding to catch up I might add). It started getting to the nice windy S's and I lost all of them completely! All the cars fell a good 50-100m's back on the windy bits of road!

The whole experience was an absolute blast! Even my Dad had fun! So we kept up the friendly stouche all the way to Road Warriors were we pulled off for some food, the SS kept on going, a friendly wave from each party and we parted.

A good fun drive on the Old Pac, what Saturday arvo driving is all about really.

So on windy roads as you would expect SW20 : 1 - SS Commy : 0

Just thought I'd share Smile
