Southern drive

Leave a comment

Mate Brendon and I organised a drive for Sunday to take in the best southern roads we know. One thing ledto another and it turned into a group drive. In the end turned out a Skyline R34 GTR, BMW M3, Lambo Gallardo spider, Aston Martin V8 vantage, Porsche 911 turbo and my Audi RS4. Here are some photos.

Brendon got a twig stuck in his front right wheel and we had to try and fish it out before it worked it’s own way out.

Next, so a fast drive down to a dam and the excitement of the fish lift at the dam. Ash is interested here

Pretty Aussie country out the back of the dam

Porsche’s flagship car for a drive – The 911 Turbo

Leave a comment

Brendon and I take the keys to Porsches flagship 911 model, the Porsche 911 Turbo. We took a look at some of the details that make up the 911 range-topper, and take it for a hill-climb drive up our usual Macquarie Pass testing road. Along the way we test out the back seats, all the cubby and storage holes and see if we can as usual ‘get a person in the boot of a supercar’.

When this car’s turbo kicks in, its acceleration is as quick as the Lamborghini Gallardo I am not joking, but doesn’t sound half as good.

I have to say that for me personally I enjoy driving the 997 GT3 over this car as it feels a little more nimble and the steering a little more like my own Lotus in its direct connected feeling. But I also have to say the Turbo impressed me MORE than I thought it would. The Turbo’s feeling of being able to accelerate out of a corner earlier than you can with the GT3 (due to the Turbos 4wd) is a great feeling on the road.
