Default Renault sport Clio F1=Pwned!

Thought that might have caught Teki's attention! Drove up to a mate's place a fair way up Gorge Rd on Saturday night with what I suspect was the F1 Edition of the RSC (offset white stripes on Renault blue). He stuck to me like glue for the large part in the end and the strip of road I knew real well between Torrens Hill Rd and Cuddlee Creek was clogged with traffic. I would have lost him then, I swear! Always a good drive though. Particularly one section which suddenly crests the drops down then up again into a big off-camber sweeper. Gorgeous stuff really.

Fantastic stretch of road. I use to live in Athelstone, so it was a bit of a local playground. The big uphill sweepers are good. Easy on the power though, if you get your boot in too early its easy to paint black lines on the road and paint YOUR paint on the rock walls.

True, I drove along there one night to find a car planted in a cliff face. Simply fell asleep and didn't turn. Thankfully the driver was the only passenger and was only a little shaken.

I owned a range rover today, one of those huge V8 bastards, he tried to overtake me, I made him miss his turn-off. Sucked in...

Fair enough. I'd do the same. If people won't get into the right lane well in advance, doesn't give them the right to cut you off.

geez u guys are nazis. What ever happened to some courtesy? Does it really effect your trip if someone gets in front of you? No it doesn't. If the guy wanted to take a turn off why stop them?

When they pull in front of you 20m before a turn, forcing you to brake hard, when they've already had ample time to get in the correct lane. Happens every other day on my way home.

Just made me laugh to think of his complete underestimation of a Fez when driven properly. Re: him missing the turn off, he shouldn't have been breaking the law, then I would have let him in. :eclipsee_

I scalped another fez the other night, a blue WP Zetec. Must've been an auto (or he couldn't drive).
