Weekend Drive

Haven't driven the Turbo much recently, decided to go for an impormptu run. Excuse the low res pix, as I set it low so that I didn't have to resize for posting purposes.





Bursts of nice straights...


Lots of these...

Thanks for the comments everyone...

6088TTS: So Cal... lots of nice roads here, though mostly for bursts of entertainment rather than all out attack.

Ben: Yes. I think you can get them from one of the sponsors now.

I wanted to share these pix, but wasn't sure if I should for fear of drawing attention to it and having it ruined more than it already is. Come to think of it, I should probably erase this thread after most have viewed the pix.

There is a moto-cop that has a zero-tolerance policy, and you will see him. A group of moto guys were stopped to help a rider who had overheated... the moto-cop stopped, and wrote everyone illegal exhaust tix. So, if you go, exercise judgement in your actions and don't make it any worse. To be fair, I heard there were 9 moto deaths last year, and "he has reduced them" to 3 this year. He's probably just sick of people dying on his watch.

I'm currently running Ultimate Motorwerks/Kevin billet hybrids that are ported and coated in conjunction with Upsolute's Stage II programming.

Be careful out there. I got a speeding ticket about a month ago. Zero tollerance is right.
