Man is it great to get back in your own car when you get home?

I've been away with Audrey visiting my parents in Rockhampton for a week and after driving and being driven around in on 02 Outback and 94 Jackeroo my 3RB felt so fantastic to drive last night on the way home. Ahh heaven.


Thought I would share this source of amusement from yesterday morning. Quite optimistic I reckon :lol:

must just be my wierd sense of humour. The EB/ED falcons and fairmonts were pretty scary at 180km/h (limited to that speed anyway as Ford was too lazy to properly balance the prop shaft).

226km/h is not only an ambitious number for them but dangerous (unless some work was done on it ala 25th anniversary GT)

I know what you mean whilst in china I am stuck in either Skoda 2.0 tdi or Audi q7…both drivers a slowest you can find……. On a few trip when traveling in remote areas, I have taken the wheel…….. I think it was the first time the driver was ever a passenger in his own car, we got the q7 up too 170km/h……..
