Yeah. A lot of stories to share from this trip. I particularly liked how I "heard" the STi and instinctively gave way b4 he appeared out of no where and made his way up to the front followed by Albundy's E36 Turbo. Mr. Albundy was smiling ear to ear throughout the chase! That left me with Rimsukan flanking the rear guard which was nice cos we had a bit more space and could spare the brakes.
Although I was dead last, I felt very good with my car. The balance and grip levels was first class, the steering was perfectly weighted, direct and accurate, and my "detuned" engine was quite free-revving to spice things up. I was impressed that in Sports mode, the transmission did everything I wanted it to do. All this merely compounds what I've been attesting, that the E90s are a vast improvement over the E46s which wiggled a lot when I last used it on this route. Eeric did teased me though that I was taking care of my car too much instead of max-ing, hahaha!! Well, what to do, it's only done less than 6,000 mileage. I would be more daring at 60,000, I guess!
I was impressed that everyone was quite courteous despite being pretty fast i.e. giving way to overtaking cars and slowing down at town areas! I wonder how the E90 330i did in front?
Where are the other picts?!
KL2DC, if you're seeing this, thanks for inspiring us to do better all the time. DY, thanks for making this happen and last but not least, Alvin, Albundy, Eeric, Jason and the rest of the GTis and Coops for adding some spice and flavor to this fun occassion! I must also thank DY's wife for drawing up the blueprints for how to park all the cars in a U-shape for the photo session.
BTW, is Albundy's E36 a self-shifter?
