Thumbs up An excellent weekend in the city!

Just parked up after a 5 hour drive home from the city.

Went up for a couple of days 'r and r' with Spec2 girl and moondog....
an excellent weekend.:ylsuper !

great fun hooting around Auckland in some excellent Skylines,checking out the shops,the restaurants,and the weird and wonderful cars that cruise the central city.

Saturday night highlight was a spin in Razor's Skyline GT-R.As a small demonstration of the car's capabilities,he put his foot down at about 50 km/h,and spun the wheels,no mean feat at the best of times,but in a 4wd? .

I was,at that point,impressed.Did he take his foot off the throttle.?No!

In a few seconds we were off the dial,hurtling along a deserted stretch of motorway at somewhere around about 240km/h[150mph] with about 1000rpm to spare.Sadly,but wisely,he decided to button off at that point, and slowed down to accomodate the other road users who seemed to be reversing down the motorway towards us at a rate of knots.

A final demonstration on a quite sideroad had the car hurtling from standstill to 100km/h before I could say "Sh*t!!!!".







That is one fast vehicle,Vince...thanks for the ride.I'll send you the bill for my laundry later.

It was great to catch up again Naki. It's been over a year since our last meeting.

I have to chuckle a bit. Normally i don't drive like that but the power of the demonstration well it's just tha
I hear you on the knowing when it was time to back off. As you said we had clear sailing for about 2kms to the cars in front of us. Man too bad they were like parked up in the motorway aye.
Not too bad for not much done to the little tart.

Oh you can keep ya soild undies as a suvenier

Maybe the next time you come back up shel'll be pushing a bit more poke should be all good then :smoker2:

moon plays a mean blues guitar,and is a demon at amusement arcade racing games,and Speccy is still shopping.Both of them love the city lifestyle but hate the traffic.They still know where the best restaurants are,and it looks like they're both too busy for the forums.Shame the IT nazi at Speccy's place of work has locked her out,she's still bored at work and it's the only free time she has for posting.Moon has exams coming up and is desperate for a transfer that would cut his commuting time to a minimum.They're both still neat people,always will be,and the board would be better if they had time to post!

Yeah, and Tangie is ugly.

Sounds like an absolute blast!!! I hope to report back from Carlisle, PA next weekend with TONS of pics and AWESOME stories to top out even last year's car show, not to mention my ski trip. It'll be tough, but I'm up for the challenge!!! I'm not sure I can beat the Skyline tale here, though. :o
