Great Ocean Rd

Yesterday, my friend & I went for a drive to Lavers Hill, Cape Otway Lighthouse & on to Apollo Bay before heading back to Colac & home to Ballan.
I like sitting in the passenger seat, my friend had a ball driving through the curves of the road around the mountains, racing through the gears of the more than willing engine. The sound of the Supercharger whine......*MAGIC*. Really makes you appreciate you own a special car!!!

Sounds like you had a great time Mike.

I bet you had (probably still have) a great big grin on your face

They're some superb roads in there. Some of the bits between Lavers Hill and Port Campbell are excellent. And, of course, the Lorne-Apollo Bay section is fantastic too.

Yes MiM, minigolf, we had a ball, we also had a bit fun on some of the greasy damp patches of the road,
Thanks for your message,
Mike.

Sounds like it could be time for an early morning GOR run

Yeah, the Otways can be bad for that!

Here's a shot of my previous MINI from a couple of years ago

GOR is always a fun blast, as long as they haven't got those nasty "cops-hiding-in-bushes-with-radars-and-radio" there .

Seen a few really nasty accidents there when people have gone silly, be careful out there.

This years club GOR will be coming up very shortly.

Actually, I don't think the speed limit was broken at all. There are no arbitrary speed limits on the curves, just suggested ones. IE, a 60KPH curve, in a good car can be safely negotiated at a higher rate but without breaking the speed limit, and still retaining a margin for safety.

Can I add one of these to the collection?



Any chance of a really early morning run to miss traffic?

While the posted limits on the yellow signs are just suggestions, you're still governed by the speed limits of the road you're on.

I sometimes get confused and think the normal ones are suggestions too
