    Four of us went for as drive.

    Scott came with his RS5 which was so much more capable in the ****ty weather than the 2WD cars. He has a video camera which he could attach to the windscreen. Some footage below. Great shots of the glass car and the qv.

    Was a real shame about the weather.

    Archies on the Creek have had a reorganise so that their cafe is much more low key. I had a $15 steak sandwich that was stunning. You can still go to the restaurant for the serious stuff but hours are not good for lunch midweek in the winter.

    Will do it again, but will speak to Huey about some fine weather so we can keep closer tabs on the Audi ;)

    I'd like to know if it changes up when it hits the redline and changes down on full throttle before I'm convinced.

    That reminds me of a time when me and a mate were leaving a factory in Sydney once in a rental Commodore. We had had a crap day and I said hey lets drive from Wheterill Park to the airport in 1st. :D

    After about 300m although the car was in "manual mode" and in 1st gear at around 6500 RPM it automatically changed to second. As you say PP, Oh Dear. :)

    THAT'S how they warranty a car. Just like Horses gearbox in the Skyline, the computer saves the car by stopping you damaging it.

    I don't own a Skyline.

    In the GT-R when in manual mode and gearbox in "R", it will bounce on redline and not change up.

    You don't need to watch it.

    You're very, very familiar with the butt of a charcoal GT-R. ;)


    Coming on the weekend away?
