It was a great day for driving and a much needed one at that ... My routine for the last 10 months has been to drive a crappy rental car 5 days a week and barely put 50-60 miles on my S in a week.

A good hard drive was really called for and thanks to RC and his encyclopediac knowledge of the little known back roads of Tejas, we got ourselves a good thrash in less crowded roads.

The shark (due apologies to the 550M) from the side ..


But this is the view I saw pretty much all day


But I got the pound seat as I was treated to an amazing soundtrack from the Z06 - you get goose pimples as the revs rise and when the car slows down there is a cool wastegate releasing like noise - sounds like two 12 gauge shot gun blasts. Overall it was Basso profundo experience 8) - needless to say I barely to got hear the sound of my humble motor

The rally navigator and chief nutritionist (made sure the great man's energy was kept at optimum levels with frequent candy boosts) ...


I did record 125 - I was concentrating on my slow acting camera and didnt realise I hit the red limiter in 5th duh ops: ... I dont think I went much faster today maybe 130 or so max.
