Most Memorable Drive Of Your Life?

[coz]

I did 5 laps with russell ingall around QR a couple of years back... was the best car experience ever!!

[Under-Pants]

Probably my first quarter mile pass

When I was young though, was up in Darwin with the family & dad's old BA XR8. He & I cruised to Katherine then Tennant Creek sitting on over 200 pretty much the whole way. It's a really wierd feeling slowing down to only 140ish then to 60 as you approach & go through a town, you feel like you're going backwards...

A old stanza with a worked fj20 turbo in it, Lol spinning the wheels up the highway at 120km

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

This is not NSFW so I will keep it clean. I will note before telling this story that this happened when I was young and dumb and do not condone this type of behaviour now that I am older and errr wiser.

I had a nice XG S Pack ute and I was drivingh home from Darwin back to pPalmerston one night , rather enibriated, well the the lady friend I had in the passenger seat was keeping my lap warm, with her mouth and tounge. In the tray of the ute was a mate with his back to the rear window of the ute and his lady friend straddling him, she must have been hot this evening as for some reason she had shed all her clothes covering the top half of her body.

Now heres me happy from a few beers, a lap that is happy and a nice set of tits bouncing in my rear vision mirror. I was doing everything but watching the road, stuffed if I know how I got home that evening. The things you do when young eh.

I think that's a story of many young boys with utes making the track back from Darwin to Palmerston

[Plugg3r]

Mine would be my most classic moment.

One night my 3 best mates went to town (Darwin) and they all got on the drinks, I was a good sober boy.

On the way home my mate hoped in passenger and two hoped in the tray.

Proceeding home I thought Id be a smart ass when getting to red light yelling to an imaginary Skyline that he is sh*t and his car is slow blah blah. Then proceeded to pretend to race him but all I was really doing was gearing high and accelerating normal.. The commotion from the back was great with abuse to the Skyline and me.

Next was a round about where I slowed down then went around the round about placing the car in neutral and revving the guts out yelling out with my mate in the passengers seat "Hell yeh, doughies bro... watch out pole man! POLE POLE!" with no response I was like WTF.

I drove to there house and dropped them off, when opening the hardtop the two in the tray where far asleep.. I dont know how it was like 40 degrees in there and humid as hell.. But I guess the joke was on me.

[F6 RAPID]

Two for me;

First is my F6 I sold. If you ever get to experience what over 500rwkw's feels like in a taxi, then you will know what I am talking about. Damn thing made me laugh like nothing else. Crazy - seeing the whites of the Yamaha R1 rider's eyes as the yellow sled pulled away from him at full tilt from a roll-on at about 140......... disbelief as he watched a yellow Ford disappear as he was crouched behind his screen giving that bike all it had to no avail.

And the few hours I spent with an Audi R8........ the sound, the car. Damn. Now I need to convince them I should have a V10 version for a few hours.......... very memorable.

mine would have to be driving my mates 350fwhp (low boost) vtec turbo civic after he lost his licence.

driving it back to the workshop to replace a gasket of which it was losing boost from was an experience and a hand full. the amount of torque steer as boost came on nearly made me sh*t myself.

was raced at WSID with a 13.2@120mph couldnt get traction.

[XR64LT]

or my brothers 1990 daihatsu charade, 1.3 stroked to 1.6, forged motor, T28 turbo, running 24psi hahaha

ultimate sleeper and a wrx and skyline killer. we had a $20 note on the dash and if u could grab it while it was on song u could keep it, it just pushed u back into your that hard, only problem was that the gearbox kept breaking.

Huntley hill climb which is no longer run after a death where an Open Wheeler went into a tree. Drivers briefing pretty much says theres a nice S bend at the top near the tree, come into the first part sideways & you'll probably not exit the corner.

Anyway was in my 1984 Supra with later model 3L NA which was considerably worked & an awesome suspension setup but running cheap as sh*t 215/65/14 bob jane specials which were bald due to the massive amounts of rear camber, it was the best car to steer as you could dial the car in so well on the throttle.

Launch the car touch of wheel spin on the 40 degree incline, flat out up the hill grab second & hold to the limiter (110kmph at 7000rpm). Flat through the fork and lift off slightly to enter the S bend, arse end steps out on the car as it would get lift off oversteer nail the throttle magically move the wheel somehow correctly, slide it through the bend torching the inside tyres as the LSD is worn. Straighten the car up and go across the line.

Tootle around to the staging lane to head back down the hill beaming with a massive smile. Jump out of the car & see my mates pissing themselves laughing and applauding that had done their run already and witnessed mine. Apparently old mate in the commentry box above the s-bend nearly had a coronary. Got back down the bottom of the hill and another guy of the forums who was an official for the day advised it would probably be best if I did it straighter next time but commended my effort.

Went on to win my class for the day with the time I set on that run. I honestly don't know how I did it to this day, I just instinctively grabbed the wheel countered the drift and kept the throttle pinned, switched it back then straighten it on the exit.

Also ran the car at WSID and managed a 14.789 in it, the impressive part was I was being run down by a Turbo charged corolla that couldn't launch he managed 14.790.
