A great weekend. Get out there.
Starting off, the first sight of mountains makes me smile.
Past the sugar factory, heading towards a sweet rally adventure.
At the base of the mountains things get twisty. and eventually the time passes quickly as the klms fly past.
My destination was Kyogle. the Border Ranges Rally was a cool event.
Neal Bates in the old RA40 celica set the tone.
Sideways is fun.
the sounds of these old cars is awesome
with more than 1/2 the field running classics, memories of days in canberra came flooding back.
Go the Rota!
Go the Datto, now that was a fun car.
Escorts on the edge
makes you want to run again.
bwoooooooooooooooooooooooooo un buwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Corolla ripping it.!
Even an old torana
at the end of the day... I headed to my overnight pit stop to visit me ol' mum.
Next day, I managed to see a few more. Yes the subaru memories were coming back also. But I don't want another of those.
RWD for the fun.
now lickily, Kyogle Rd is one of the best roads around.
corners like these are super enjoyable.
but you have to stop for a rest sometimes... before i go back and forth a couple of times.
With Mt Warning in the background, heading back that way gives you a target.
A lot of running with the roof down, as you run throught the trees, but the top has to close when you get the sun and speed.
You know I say i need to lower this... but honestly, I'd be ruining the GT feel of the car. And the capability to deal with dips and holes and not quite the best road surface.
I do enjoy thrashing the ND... But yes, the next model sounds interesting with an extra 20hp and more importantly extra 500RPM. that is something I want. top of 2nd and into 3rd with this engine is not as well matched as the last model.
On the way back, i took some detours. Mossy roads, Dirt Roads and
things that make the brake application a little more urgent.
I don't want to think about self-driving cars... Where is the fun in that.
