Hi peoples. We're back from our two months holiday in Europe. We drove just over 13,000kms across six countries and had an absolute ball. I can't tell you how much I LOVE the Autobahns in Germany. No Toll, no bumps or potholes, just perfectly smooth tarmac and no speed limits on most of them. We found out that our brand new 1.6 turbo diesel Peugeot redlined at 195km/h in 5th gear and wouldn't go any faster :D And also that it's a kind of a special feeling when you overtake a cop car at 165km/h and they don't even look at you. Oh and when ze krazy germanz overtake you when you're cruising on 170km/h and they accelerate away from you like you were doing 60.

When we flew out of Paris, it was 35 degrees there so it's been a bit of a shock coming back to sunny Canberra. This place was one of the highlights. Can anyone guess where this pic was taken? :iluvff:

Sure did. I still can't get the grin off my face. That place is so addictive that you just want to keep going back for more laps, and each time you become more and more confident and faster as you learn the track. Next time we're definately hiring a race car.

These are some of the machines we shared the track with:

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
