Sunday drive on Countermanskloof/Visserhoek Road

[maximus]

Perfect Sunday today in the Cape and since I was out helping a fellow member evaluate his first BMW and we needed to cut some time.

We decided to take the Countermanskloof/Visserhoek Road (the same road we took when we went on that Braai Run to Killarney early in the year) with my E34

Stunning!....absolutely stunning piece of road! :thumbsup: barely any traffic apart from the one or two cyclists.

Didn't go more over 100kph but man! that's a good road!

Yep, driving fun is not always about speed, cornering is the enjoyable part!!! :thumbs:

Should actually get a head strap for my GoPro! :rollsmile:

You missed the best bit... take the left at the school and hammer it. The road is used to access two commercial farms and is dead over the week-end. It is twisty and hilly and a dead end in a gravel road, so very little traffic.

We actually took this road on the last Breakfast Run to Killarney Racing Course! :thumbs:

Superb road that ends in the middle of no-where at a dirt road which is even more epic.

My fondest driving memories are doing that road weekly in a R53/R56 Cooper S (usually a trade car which we were not keeping) and stopping after doing it a few times at night with music playing and the turbo on the car glowing blood red as it idled cool. :joy:

I used to do that road maybe 10-12 times a week, how my fuel card survived the experience I dont know. :=):

The video's I can show you in convertible Cooper S R53's on that road. :fishwack:

Okay, I havent driven that road since. Somehow I doubt the Smart will feel the same as a JCW on full boost. :joy:

 

[Philip Foglar]

Speaking of which - I crave another breakfast run!!! Soon!! :joy:

 

[Mike1]

I am working on the most epic MINI Run, but that will be in September only.

We need Grant! :thumbs:

All this talk of Running makes me tired
