Euro Breeding....its real

[jphanna]

Today was a special day for me.

i got my first taste of what a Euro made car can do around high speed flowing corners. There are lots of Euro INSPIRED cars. Our every day Falcons and commodores are euro inspired. this was the real thing though, not just inspired.......

was it a high performance tyre shredding beast? no actually its just a 1.8 fuel injected 1983 E21 coupe.

the road i picked was near williamstown in Barossa region in Adelaide. the same road i use on my boulevard, for kicks. it would take a lot to rival a mbike for thrills in the hills, but today it happened.

first thing is NO power steering....remember the last time you drove a car without power steering?

the way it sits on the road, something different, something that you cant understand....but you know you like it. when was the last time you were negotiating sweepers and pictured yourself as a german development driver?

when was the last time you were 'blown away' by a car on a cruise?
