I found out today that the TR4 really likes winding roads. Especially
bumpy ones. Sticks much better than anything else I've had the
(mispleasure) of driving. Especially with a full tank of gas and plenty
of air in the front tires.
Also found out that when the sign says "30", I should go "30". Also got a
crash course (not literally) in rear-end slide. However, it's a lot more
fun to do silly things in a Triumph than in my Chevette. When the 'vette
slips, I get scared... not so with a real sports car!
I was interrupted in my reverie of attempting to break the East Sooke Road
World Speed Record by some dude in a pickup truck who isisted on going 50K
in the 50K zone (sheesh!) and the recommended speed limit around the tight
corners :-(
It all turns out OK tho, as we pottered along at about 20MPH past the
photo-radar van. Just goes to show ya!
