Maxx Power Want E46 M3 Member 327 Member For: 22y 3m 1d Location: Adelaide Posted 10/08/04 10:14 AM Author Share Posted 10/08/04 10:14 AM turbotom - I took the Sturt Highway up and back but me and my mate in his VY SS went for a drive on sunday on some backroads through Berri and Renmark. I think I can remember a downhill section somewhere along the line. Some nice roads out there to test high speed stability!These cars are pretty stable at speed actually, I remember my EF Ghia used to shake and rattle a bit past 140km/h but the XR6T felt so much more comfortable, as if it wasn't trying! I had second thoughts about driving to Melbourne for the Boxing Day cricket or the Grand Prix, but now I want to drive there because it is no hassle.

I was not happy after work and felt like sh*t. But I took the car into the Adelaide Hills for 15mins on my favourite road with my favourite music on and I was grinning like an idot after about 30seconds of driving. Now my mood has gone from bad to good all because of the car.. Glad to hear that someone else is infected with this "bug"One of my colleagues actually suggested that I go for a drive to calm down and relax a bit yesterday. So of course I did, and came back about 90 minutes later!As always there are the little gripes and issues, but all that aside, it is nothing short of fantastic! I don’t regret my purchase one little bit and would recommend one to anyone.Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easily the best touring car I've owned.I don't need much of an excuse to go for a long drive ... bring on Tassie.... as for overtaking you know your moving when I drop down to 4th, hit it hard and the traction control light comes on!Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
