I’ve been trying to get AXARUNNER out for a jaunt into the local country side. Well this past Friday, I was finally able to get him and that Green Lantern out onto the road.We started out with a nice easy cruise up Rt 23.

Nothing memorable and some road construction killed what should have been the best part of Rt 23.

We get North of Port Jervis and stop in for a quick photo session. Unfortunately, I got distracted because I left my prescription sunglasses on the ledge at our first stop. We made a U-turn and found em. However, there were some angles that I forgot to take pictures of, which highlight the reason why one ventures to the Hawks Nest.

After taking the photos that we did, we then decided to take I84 East to 17 S, which would have brought us back to NJ mainly via New York .As we approach I84, I decide to hang a right thinking I would pick up an entrance to I84 at another location. NOT!

No matter, I simply followed Waze which adjusted and plotted a new route home. This was the cruise of the day Rt. 209 to Rt. 206 to Rt. 15 to I80 East to 280, which took us home. We cruised out the routes, which gave us some nice scenery to enjoy.

When we hit I80 we found some room to express ourselves. Mind you, it was never about a race but we both "wound" out our cars, and hit redline a couple of times. Jesus, these cars pulled lovely!!!

Last time I looked at my speedo, I saw the needle falling through 139. AXARUNNER said he saw 144mph!!! No sweat, no fuss, just cruising….

We topped the afternoon off with a lunch and beer at the new diner in town.

With the rapidly falling temperatures, this looks like it may have been it for me, because I generally do not like driving when the temperature is below 50 degrees.

But, yes, a good time was had for what may have been my final run of the season.

Enjoy the pics.

 

 

That green Vantage is so cool. What is that green called? BRG?Any interior pictures?

 

You North Jersey guys have all the fun. I can't get Aldo to do anything, he's always working! He won't even grudge race me LOL

Although I'd be playing catch up most of the time. I know you're both putting down a few more ponies!

 

Chestnut Brown interior.

 

Hawks nest twists...

 

Terminal... I loved hanging with you and that drive home was epic!

 

This is the shot that I forgot to emphasize!!! Not to be driven by the faint of heart!!!

 

Likewise. Thank goodness for wrong turns!!!

 

Great landscape

 

Yes, it's British Racing Green. My 2007 Vantage was Goodwood Green which is a brighter green.
