replies!
 
I couldn't quote everyone... but here goes.

yeah i took it for a lap and almost got collected by someone coming up the other way - here is the vid - it is at about 3 minutes 40
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLXWImjf74U&feature=plcp"]bathurst lap 86 near crash at the top of the mountain at 3.45 - YouTube[/ame] ... scary moment and i would have been devestated.

I am only 6 foot tall so slighly above average - i have loads of headroom, but yeah i do dwarf the thing standing next to it.

Not Opti-gaurded. That is the shine i had from the dealer. I had only had it a day and it had around 1,300km on it at that point with driving through drizzly rain and crappy NSW roads - still shiny!

and yes we make a great coulple!:wub::wub:

it is a two way unmarked road during normal times. It is funny as there are houses right on the circuit and they had bins out as i was going up. I just imagined the garbage truck drivers looking forward to every friday morning :P

haha i saw... im surprised you were as composed as you were... i probably would have wripped a handbrakey and chased him down the other way :burnrubber:

or got to the bottom and waited for him to come down so i could tell him what i thought of his line choice through the chase :paddle:
