    Wait till mid year, I’ll bet there’s a softening of car values across the board whilst everyone’s scrambling to stay afloat amidst rapid inflation, (keep an eye on the prices of the Porsche Carrera GT’s [emoji51])

    Model for model, when available a manual Ferrari is dramatically more sought after than a paddle.

    The absence of nanny aids on early cars is another part of the reason for their desirability.

    Managed 503 kms in this yesterday. Headed West through Geelong then via some back roads to Deans March then over the Ottways into Apollo Bay.

    I was stunned at the general courtesy of the drivers who pulled into the slow vehicle turnouts to let me through. This was a clear change from a year ago.

    There was a very heavy police presence around Birragurra where 4 patrol cars had closed a road and were interviewing approximately 10 motorcyclists but apart from that I saw no other patrol cars.

    Was a very nice day.

    John, same road, and it's just as much fun now as it was back then.

    And yes, that drive was quick, even by your standards.
