Thread: S1 as weekend getaway and long distance tourer ermm?

I agree, not a choice as an everyday vehicle, although I occasionally drive ours on the 130k round trip to Brisbane Airport for training days. (fire training that is.)

And last weekend we did a 200k return run to visit friends. At 70km/h, the speed I find it is comfortable at, it runs sweetly and the brakes are more than up to the task, provided you are aware all of the time what is going on around you.

Oh, and by the way.........I'm 56.

Oi!

Any week now I will have Gus on the road, and I will be commuting and touring in him.

He was made in '58 - I was made in '88.

Mark (longing4alandy) is soon to start using his early 2A as a daily also, and he is only a few years older than me.

Not all of us Gen Ys are whining, flighty, unemployable walking bean bags!

(PS - Alright yes, in general I agree with you. )
