Mountain Runs

[Astro Bear]

Hi guys,

I enjoy late night / early morning mountain runs out of town in the more secluded parts of the world (i.e free from general public). Does anyone have any suggested areas or favourite mountain run areas?

Purely for enjoyable cruising of course.

Mt Akina is the best, i love the last 5 hairpins on that run. watch out for a AE86 out there though he is really good on that road, usually he is out and about early in the morning.

he's probably delivering tofu

I hate tofu

Just look to the horizon astro boy, if you see a hill go to it, be adventurous, explore ... its something you have to discover for yourself

NB..unfortunately you will never be free of the general public they pop up everywhere

i couldnt tell, there was writing on the side of his car but i cant read japanese also he went past me so fast i couldnt catch up and i own a gtr!, so he must be very good.

I hear he started driving up there when he was 14 and it took him 2 hours to deliver the tofu,

Now he can do it in 4 minutes !!!

shit really? he is that young and he beat me? he was too quick for me on the 5 hairpins i was getting too much understeer. i thought the gtr was unbeatable until this AE86 came along now i dont know what to believe.

Fkn lol at some of these replies.

Might do some exploring on the weekend. I like King Lake runs, but the skinny road + huge drop-off = near death.

Anywhere around Mt.Dandenong.. and Mt. Donna Buang. Always a good cruise.

Yeah the only way you can beat the asian kids on the mountain is to get a 70s mustang and drop an sr20 in it...

i better let the nightkids and the redsuns know about this AE86 too, maybe one of them can take this kid down.

[ARTZ]

Hey if you cant beat him on the mountain you can always shag his broad minded personty girlfriend...

[KURAUN]

rb26 more torque and power = easier drifts

Wherever you go, just be careful of wildlife if you are going at night time. I passed a wombat on the way up Donna Buana at around 1am. After an adult deer ran across my path I realised it was a bad idea going up there by myself and I turned around to come back. On the way down I hit the wombat and all my head lights blew so it was a limp to nearest down with hazards and foglights on.

good idea, ill sabotage his car also.

[ARTZ]

yeah you could end up like this guy..

Driving at 225kms in his BMW Z4 the Driver hit a Kangaroo..

The kangaroo disappeared!

The driver stopped and wondered where did the kangaroo go?

For all you drivers without bullbars, this is how you pack a 70 kg

kangaroo into a BMW Z4 convertible....

Oh no! I'm a bit of a tree / animal lover (despite driving a gas guzzler) so hitting an animal would really make me feel shit.

Good post. Definitely something to bear in mind.
