Went for a drive today

Well I left the flat in Edinburgh about 2pm today to pick up a mate from the far side of Glasgow. Got there are around 3 and fitted my viper to the 172, and had a look at the atlas for the roads up to Oban, as i have had the mini up there before...



Anyway, i was keen to take the car out for its first blast, and what a blast it was. Headed over the Erskine bridge, hung a left and headed towards Helensborough...

I then headed up towards Oban via Inverary to sample some of Scotlands finest roads and scenery, with a good bit of banter along the way.

As for the RS, it was flawless. The handling was on edge, however never oversteped the mark. The steering was agile but never felt underweighted so you felt complete attached to what direction and movement the car was going to take. And the engine was as i expected and sounded sweet with the viper.

I really needed this run to push the car and find its own individual limits, which i think i just about found.

In summary, the car made me smile. :wink:


Anyway a few pics, and a 2 minute vid - excuse the accents.
