I ticked any time but tend to agree with sc850 right after you have washed the car and it's looking... then taking it for a belting through the hills.. also love taking any car out to the track for a super sprint or a motorkhanah

just took the 850 for a run up the mountains today with the family and a full boot. It went like a dream. Couldn't have gone better. Pulled up the first big hill after crossing the Hawkesbury in top gear. Cruised the freeway at 75mph (no its not an 850 under the bonnet - its a 998).
Any day and every day is a great day to drive it. I restrict my use of it as much as I can force so it will always be a joy.

All of the above. :roll:

However after she has just been washed and waxed is a favourite, driving around when everyone has a smile and a wave for her. :wink:

All of the above, but i don't really like driving it in 35C'' temps.... driving it in just after it has stoped raining, real good fun get half way threw a corner and just planting it... 8)
go the 1098 great engines

So many great moments i love them all...

Few highlights in no particular order:

1) Driving Galston Gorge in my blue mini with Brads old starlet mini in front

2) Wakefield park track days

3) Any of the Wiseman Ferry Runs, always a blast.

4) My favourite would have to be driving the back roads through the gong down to Kiama/Kangaroo valley at around 2am with no one on the road and lights ablaze with a crisp cool sea breeze 8)
