Was going to post in here last night but then decided i could be bothered to type
Anyway, on the way to Bakewell from Chesterfield there is a country road that has had 1 lane closed so it is only 1 way at the moment due to snow still being built up to 7ft on one side of the road.
Me in the ST and my friend in his 156GTA decided to have a bit of fun down this lane (twice) and literally push both cars to there limits going down this 7 miles of bendy fast roads. What a hoot of a time! The ST went brilliant, though i found a bit of roll on the car and the GTA my mate just bought was just mental, it stuck to the road like glue and left me a few times on the bends. (Could be because he has bigger balls though)
Great time though! Especially with the built snow just towering over the car just feet away.
(Just to note: i never went over 60mph on this NSL road
)
They hustle very well indeed for a big FWD car! And yet it's very comfortable when you just want to cruise.
I was in Bath for a couple of days over the weekend and there's some fantastic roads leading to/from the nearby countryside, I was having a whale of a time hooning it like a loon, all the while my girlfriend was playing Tetris on her iPad, unphased.
Decent tyres + correct alignment + correct tyre pressures = good fun. Especially since I replaced my slightly sticky rear caliper.
Finally fixed my washer bottle too! That was fiddly.
