You know how it is, the weekly grind of the work commute down overcrowded boring motorways, the government telling us the motorist, we are to blame for all the crap in the world etc etc. Drives you to distraction at times.
After recenlty sorting a couple of running issues (coilpacks, loose plugs and a boost leak), I thought it about time to have a little jaunt out into the countryside of a Sunday afternoon.
****** me, did it not feel good to get the car doing what it was designed for.
Co-ordinated with a couple of my mates round the NE and arranged for a little run out. Myself, my bro, Ben (Lune) Paul (Paulgo) and Michael (Mak2503)
Unfortunatly Micheal (RS2) had to pull out as he's not feeling to well at the minute, but Ben brought a couple of his mates along.
So, six cars in all, four S2 Coupes (2 x 3B's and 2x ABY'S), a urS6 and an S3 set off to remind Jethro and his straw eating chums, that we don't care if they think the countryside roads is just for tractors, spotty walkers and bird watchers. I want to be able to go out and actually "drive" again.
Awesome driving roads, have sort of forgotten what a quattro AWD car is like to drive properly.
Nimble, fast, onto the brakes, turn in, full power out and loads of traction with a turbo to help shove you towards the next hairpin, sweeping curve or tightening corner. My car performed flawlessly.
Loved it..
Unfortunately, the weather conspired against us, so no pictures were taken at our final destination. At 1904 ft above sea level, the clouds sort of made the cars disappear into the fog.
We ended up at Hartside pass summit, had a cuppa and a bit crack, then blasted back down.
Got to do this again soon. Still buzzin
Quote of the day for me was from Mick the S3 owner (forgive the language)
"F**k me, I just can't keep up with you guys, have forgotten what the 5 cylinder turbo engine sounds like too, it's like they are trying to rip the f***in road up, sounds like thunder going past"
If you guys are getting a bit fed up of the daily ballache that is comuting to work, just take your car for a blast in the country once in a while. Sort of wakes you up to what our cars can really do.
Jas..
[happy with my car]

My bro found out out his car achilles heel too, 140 down a straight country road isn't erm.... let say "ideal" on H&R's with Koni's 
It's no wonder people fall asleep at the wheel, it added an extra hour and a half to my journey. I had to drive fast to keep myself awake!!! Well that's my excuse officer.
