So last Friday I took my friend Mike for a drive from Etobicoke to Wilson Niblett in Richmond Hill and back . We stopped for a nice brunch . The car ran like a top , of course the Top was down as it was a warm and sunny day. I still feel nervous driving the car but am slowly getting more comfortable. I depressed the accelerator part way down at 100 kph and easily felt more power kick in as it downshifted , I took it to 120 . Being Good Friday and a busy highway with plenty of radar traps , that was good enough for me . The car feels really powerful.
I did experience my first parking lot anxiety at the Brunch stop.
All of a sudden I realized that I had to park amongst other vehicles!
So after carefully circling the parking lot , I decided to park beside the two gleaming and really nice Motorcycles to my left and the restaurant entrance to the right.
Someone with a big dog came really close the front as did a woman carrying a purse close to the front .
Note to self , pick a better spot or choose another restaurant next time .
I know you all have been through this and my story is not new.
I'll try to post some pics from that day .
I ended up putting another 100 kms on the car. I forget who said I would be smiling driving the car , I was ! Ear to ear! It really felt great and car is perfect.
