2342km in 5 days!

Well, just added a heap more k's to the car which means it will have to sit under its cover for the next few months (joking!)

Last week, Cassie and I went to Melbourne for a week (excellent...had a great time) and took the mighty SVX - the poor Camry had to stay home, devoid of suspension as it is!

All I can say is what an amazing car!!! Roughly 11 hours non-stop (save for 2 refuels and 20 minutes for lunch) and we still got out in Melbourne (950km from Sydney) feeling good.

Seats are great except that I have to have mine reclined more so as to avoid hitting my head - a bit of sore shoulders; the cruise control is brilliant.....going through different zones could just bump it up and down as needed; legroom....not too bad...I was driving in socks and found that could stretch my left leg out under and to the side of the brake pedal - did you know they even carpeted all the way up there!!!

Fuel - not too bad - averaged around 10litre per 100km with aircon going non-stop.......kept to the speed limit the whole time since the police were out in force save for one overtaking move where the idiot decided to pull into a servo at the last second....nailed the accelerator to overtake and that hoooooowwwwwwwllllll Cassie turned to me and said "You liked that didn't you" as I was nodding like a maniac and grinning like a loon.

Hotel in Melbourne was the Royce (an ex Rolls Royce dealership - very cool!!) but they wanted to valet park it!! Nope....your valet can come in the car but no-one drives it except me (especially when they want a little waiver to be signed!!!) - turns out a Boxster and S2000 pilot had the same idea.

Then we did the Great Ocean Road.....the most jaw-dropping excellent piece of road I have ever been on....incredible.....I got carried away a few times with Cassie saying 'slow down" but just an incredible piece of coastal road all the way to the Twelve Apostles (an offshore rock formation).

Sorry about the long post but just thought I would share my thoughts....I've been in a WRX non-stop for 2 hours and fell out, exhausted.....when will non-SVX'ers ever realise what an incredible car we have.

Yay for the SVX!!!
