IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ON A DRIVE DAY BEFORE, I GUARANTEE THIS IS THE
DAY YOU SHOULD COME ALONG!!
Troy and I met up a little over a week ago to plan our next drive
day. We had a plan and last Saturday I decided to go for a test
drive to check it out. I drove just short of 600km in search of a
good drive. On my travels I took this `lane' and oh my god, what an
amazing run! I drove for over an hour and met only two cars on the
road. I can't wait to get back out there, as this was a chance to
really `drive' the 206GTi. This road had everything you could
possibly want with the exception of a water splash:
The road surface was like three WRC Rally's in one
The road twisted and turned and yet you could take them at speed
since you could see round the corners
There was this huge hill where the road went straight down and up
the other side
I went over numerous old single lane wooden bridges
Over an old railway track
And, there were brilliant hair-pin bends!
Please note there is a section of around 1.0km which is gravel. To
ensure safety and for the protection of our cars I propose we pass
through this stage with plenty of distance between each other.
However this gravel track is in excellent condition. Once on the
other side the road just gets better . . . trust me J
MEETING PLACE: 150 Epping road (the HUGE Shell Petrol Statio n)
ARRIVAL TIME: 9.00am (sorry it is early but we have to get over the
mountains)
DEPARTURE TIME: 9.30am sharp

Kind Regards
Gavin
