Excellent decision. I walked away very impressed and plan to purchase one of my own. This thing was rock steady and also very small. You will be very pleased.

Jeff, actually the drive was very careful and controlled. There was a lot of traffic though. Next time we plan to do it much earlier. Not sure if we will get a chance to do it again this yr, but definitely next yr.
Regards.

I do hope so ... I just need to get a P-car project back on the road and off axle stands first and the cold weather over here is not helping

very cool although too much traffic. i hate when the bikes pull out!
He got overtaken by an SUV mate the below illustrates both stupidity and to much traffic:

Raj, I recon you've got a good 4 more weeks until it's hibernation for your 968 judging by the leaves on the trees so plenty of time for more videos

If anyone is impatient like me and can't wait for the camera to be delivered Bruce's Speedshop in Rockaway, NJ sells them. No affiliation.

The GoPro HD is an awesome camera. I have one and love it and it's cheap.

OMG, that RS4 had some legs.
Yeah, Thanks giving (end of Nov) is when I normally put her in hibernation. The wether has not been the best and the PS2's don't like sub 50 degree temps . Hopefully we can do one more run.

Those are a couple of good looking white 968s! Raj, your car is something. If you ever sold it, even if you got an enzo, you'd probably still miss it. Very beautiful scenery too.

Holy crap future, that video scared me. But glad to see my newfound loyalty to audi is not misplaced. I still hope both those idiots lose their licenses before their lives. The fact that I get tickets for driving 75mph when people get away with that **** really pisses me off.

Nice video. If you get a cam you should hook one up in your car as well, then do some editing using both cams.

The Audi RS4 in the second video is modified, M5 is stock.

Yep they are serious cars and the RS2 is possibly my favourite of all and a real shame it never made it to the US

The video was taken on the outskirts of Moscow in Russia. Seriously I have NEVER been to a country where so many people (mainly the young) drive with no respect for others including their selves

Below are 2 more videos again from Russia which are a reminder to all of us just how precious our short time on this planet really is.

The second vid I advise you only watch if you have a strong stomach as I was almost sick when I first watched it ... The driver whom got out of the car only lived for 2 days before he died from 3rd degree burns in Hospital which is probably what he wished for considering he killed all of his friends (if you want the horror then fast forward to 1:50 and continue to watch):

Wow...that second one is tough to watch. Took forever for the police and fire people to show up, not many concerned citizens either.

Crazy strong pole to take a hit like that.
