went there many moons ago.... the highlight was seeing a xj200 driving at warp speed (the negative was he was coming straight at me on a narrow road... and anyone who has seen one will tell you they are not the slimmest of cars!)

That happened when the window dropped into the door and I tried to piece a very stubborn mechanism back together with no tools.  :rolleyes: :embarassed:

Its working again now though  :cool: :wink:

I thought some of the nice views were the highlight for me, I must be getting old ( I took some pics if anyones interested?).

Oh and also there was this time when the traffic was moving at more than 35mph, that was pretty cool.

Theres a vid on youtube with some civic driver losing it on the military road.
It was probably on rock hard coil overs to just leave the road the way he did.

We do have one road thats 'relatively' smooth, the dual carriageway  :grin:

All the others are rally stages, no one ever believes you till they have seen it themselves!

That was my mate Nathan, yes rock hard coilies and a LOT of speed contributed to that. Lucky he went right instead of left as he would have ended up going off the cliff :shocked:
