YDB wrote: Sun Nov 01, 2020 12:51 pm The Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama was held recently so last week headed up to take a spin around the track. When not closed for occasional race events the circuit is a public street, two way with a 60kph limit. Television doesn’t do ‘The Mountain’ justice as some of the bends, drops and speeds they race at are ridiculous. A big day out travelling 560 kilometres, but worth it.
60kph?! Jesus, that’s ridiculous. Is it enforced at all?

Keeping to the mountain theme, I took a trip to my local one. The later time coupled with French lockdown meant the roads were virtually empty.

Even without the traffic I still managed to miss the good light so the iPhone filters will have to make up for it (or not!)

Australian police are ruthless when it comes to enforcing speed limits. I’ve not driven around Bathurst, but I imagine the local police fund their department from fining speeding visitors!

I’ve heard the tales about the Aussie police, they make the British police seem half arsed by the sounds of things!

Looks like Bideford to me - my ///MC has been across that bridge many times.

Same here, the wife does tend to suck all the joy out of the Zed when she's in the passenger seat, apparently I'm trying to kill us ? :D

Challenge is to see how much you can press on before they notice. Smoothness is key!

    Hah, thanks mate. Overdue a catch-up with you lot but been busy with the baby and our house build.

    Maybe next time I could lie in and you take a photo of the grey car with the “boring” wheels? :D

    Well I'm sure your priorities will have changed what with your newbie and a house build!

    Hopefully see you some time, but not for the next month. :(

    I did meet up with a couple of other SG Coupes at the Black Swan in September with the "boring" wheels - 2 Ms and a 3.0Si. Mine is the nearest one.
