It's actually a very nice road isn't it. Back in the day when I did a bit of motorbike racing, and hill sprints in a 205GTi (and I weighed about 1/2 what I do now lol), I used to use the road as a test "track" lol. I would fit something to either my bike or car, drive the road, and pull back into one of my dads workshop and make any adjustments needed.

Thanks, oddly this last week my car has been running really well, and I don't feel the need to just push the throttle to the floor and wait. Sounds really naff but I progress the throttle to match the way the engine opens up (I think I need to get out more). Oddly this week I'm running it on some expensive Esso fuel, and it seems really smooth. The roads were really slippery, and yes well spotted, there are some nasty holes in the road.

You really must get the battery charged up and "get out and drive" is the saying. It's something I've not done for a long time due to work and home life. But I've kind of fallen back in love with my ST.
