Well Guys & Galls...only had her two weeks and had to see how she handles the open road and as I needed to drive down to Cork today then this was the day. Clear blue skies...tad cold but set out @ 730am this morning from Dublin to Cork...bout 250km..
Sun was still rising as I left Dublin and hit the first motorway and just ten minutes later with the sun low beind me it appeared in front of me like a mirage.....my FAST...dark, big and mean looking :biggrin: so opened her up and boy did she perform. Great ting about Ireland is we are still building our major intercity road infrastructire so when you hit the motorways they are new, clean and perfect surface for driving...pushed her close the the 200mark and decided for the first time that this would do...dont wanna lose that license just yet.
Hit Cork at just after 10am which aint bad considering less than half is motorway and the rest old roads and a few small towns to crawl through. Amazing the attention you get on the open road though not to mention being a magnet for other "boy racers" :biggrin: and saw a 06 White MKV just outside of Cork and boy was it smart...got that knowing grin from the driver...pleased to meet you mister :thumbup:
Not long back and once again my FAST presented itself as I neared Dublin and the sun was setting...dam wish I had a camera :laughabove: I think a few more long trips will open her up as she is still very tight but then isnt a good woman always
Bit tired now but good day and looking forward to many more :evil:
