tazzieman Posted 24September, 2017 Report Share Posted 24September, 2017 Adam & I went on a little drive day from Hobart to Eaglehawk Neck (not far from Port Arthur) ; coffee then back via some twisty bits to the Baskerville Historics. Great to see one of the 15 legendary IROC 911s in the flesh ; also the Can Am beast that served it up to (or at least tried to) the mighty 917 back in the day. Jason White was the pilot this weekend. Baskerville not exactly the right course for this weapon!689kg and 840hp (up to 1300hp on boost). Like driving a rocket or as the guy put it terrific - terrifyingly horrific!You'll have to work out how to work your phone for this oneIt was a huge crowd , biggest I've seen hereHow many million has Sir got in his wallet?

Andy73 Posted 1October, 2017 Report Share Posted 1October, 2017 Ended up doing a solo blast on some of the roads from the last SMT this morning. Tecoma to Gembrook to Launching Place and back. It was a ripping run - a few cars out and about slowing me down between Emerald and Gembrook but after that it was mostly smooth sailing. The run between Gembrook and Launching Place is so good!

The run between Gembrook and Launching Place is so good! where do you reside? I'm Warrandyte way. We should catch up for a spontaneous drive- I love solo drives- I can often sneak out mid week through the hills the only obstacle I came across was road works x5. But probably better than Sunday drivers! Any one ever keen on a mid week coffee catch up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Phil Posted 5October, 2017 Report Share Posted 5October, 2017 (edited) Took a drive up the Great Ocean Road with my daughter to Wye River for morning coffee and then lunch at Anglesea. Beautiful day but too many tourists (even on a Wednesday). One guy in a rental was doing 30 km and braking through the corners. There was a convoy of about 40 cars behind him (I was car 10). He did not pull over until just before Wye River and by then I decided to turn around and head home. I was going to go through to Apollo Bay but did not wish to waste two more hours getting there.

Jason A Posted 14October, 2017 Report Share Posted 14October, 2017 Just got back home from QR, somehow it managed not to rain. First time at QR in my 993 RSR clone. Had a blast, car went well. Held up by a couple of 991 GT3’s and a cup car. This car is amazing, cup car from mid 90’s.I ? my car. hugh, Skidmarks, micknine01 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted 14October, 2017 Report Share Posted 14October, 2017 Went to get milk, bread and eggs this morning.Given my deep mechanical sympathy, I needed to warm the oil ...65 minutes and a hungry and grumpy family later, all was well.Nothing like a MFI 2.4S on a crisp morning. Lower the windows, pull the red lever up to bring heat (and the smell of unburnt ...) into the car and see how grippy the new 195/15 Dunlops are. Not bad but what a hoot.Low grip combined with single piston calipers and brake pads barely bigger than a 50c coin made for some dinner plate eye moments.Heel toeing was OK ... but I’m looking to see if I can ease in a PDK and electric power steering for that authentic feel.

LeeM Posted 15October, 2017 Report Share Posted 15October, 2017 Followed this thing for a few corners, then gave up due to lack of grip and intestinal fortitude (aka fear of stuffing my car into an Armco!)

LeeM Posted 15October, 2017 Report Share Posted 15October, 2017 Love that car!So do I mate, so do I! We had a 'spirited' drive on the way to grab a coffee with me in front at a fair clip (probably the quickest we've done yet), yet when Andrew was in front later on the same bit of road, theres no chance was I going to stay with him, as my tyres were howling. Maybe some grippier tyres would help there, but excuses aside, that car is planted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 16October, 2017 Report Share Posted 16October, 2017 (edited) Between overseas trips, selling and buying a new place, this is the first proper fang I've been on since the end of July. Sunday was the perfect morning for a solo drive, got a really clean run from Warburton to Reefton, before having to turn around just at the Marysville left turn due to road closure for a rally of sorts. I'm going to have to learn some new routes... Edited 16October, 2017 by poli84 GUT, hugh and ANF 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
