Well I've been slack

Well I've been slack and haven't blogged lately. I have driven the GTV a few times - at least weekly. It's gone for a blast up the freeway, mostly, with race bike in the boot. (Sunday bike racing has started at Ourimbah.) It's a good excuse to go for a burn, clear the plugs and keep the car in motion. I did have a boxy small 4wd cut in front of me (3 lanes of traffic, I'm going left - he pulls, no crawls, alongside then edges ahead. I'm thinking he could go behind me but no, he goes in front, just before what could be my favourite corner. He pulls about 0.2G in said corner and holds me up. I briefly think about getting back in front by accelerating hard in the inside lane as he slews unnecessarily across 2 lanes - but couldn't be bothered). What is it about a grey 116 GTV that makes weird drivers try to get ahead? It's because I'm doing the speed limit, right, and they want to go 1kmh faster I suppose. Sigh.

Cheers, Rob.
