Damn shame I couldn't make it ppl ... had family stuff to attend to.
The main thing is you all had fun ... I know the road like the back of my hand and it is a great drive. I would have held everyone up though ... I would have been the slowest of the bunch as it is. Hope to make the next one if i can though.

And as Bluehoon pointed out, it wasn't about how fast you went, it was how well you handled it, and it certaintly didnt hurt that he knew the road better than all of us. And it was nice to meet ya Neil, shame you had to power through that flu of yours.  _2:

It's interesting to see the smiles on everyone's faces...
It was also interesting that following the run, whilst everyone is till chasing times, suspension, brakes, and rubber are now also being looked at.. People may bag the stock suspension in the XR's, but I reckon it sticks like glue  ing_sm  : :voldar02:

I found the stock XR suspension very adequate indeed .. and in the hands of a competant steerer ... good fun indeed.
Although I did get the change to drive a BA XR6 (Mk1) for a few days in VERY wet rain ... and I did find it to be a tad skatey in some conditions .... but nothing too bad ... I just had to keep on my toes. Had the 3000A Dunlops on them (which i don't mind actually ... not a bad tyre really) ... trying to stay close to the speed limit in heavy rain on Picton/Wilton Rd down to Wollongong was interesting to say the least (the grooves from the trucks don't help either). But in the dry... quite a good vehicle. I did find the front seat bolstering in the shoulder are a little too much for me though ... I found it too tight for my liking and was a little uncomfortable driving with my shoulders hunched in. But that's about all I could fault with it ... everything else was great. The difference from XT to XR is quite a bit when it comes to handling and road holding though.

And a boat anchor under the bonnet :P :P
Ah ****, startin to sound like a Turbo owner. :P Btw. Would compression Superlows give about the same handling as standard XR suspension? I want better suspension but might as well go low while I'm at it, shocks would be on the list aswell.
