Default Phew glad I skipped this one....

So they have an RX7/RX8 meet every year here in ottawa, tons of cars come from Montreal/Toronto etc. They take the twisties up in Gatineau, I went with them last year it was fun but a little long, about 8 hours of driving.

This was 8 hours of driving about 150km/h average speed, which for 1 I didn't enjoy with the top down, once we hit the halfway point I stopped going fast. Some of the guys were doing 200km/h constantly.

Anywho, I was thinking of going this year, but decided to do the auto-x the same day instead.

Well I'm certainly glad I didn't go......... scroll down........

I agree with Marta. That first post after the pics is about right.

Sums it up prefectly...

This should have been your first clue that you shouldn't have gone, James - autox or not.

The accident was inevitable...

Yeah it was, I didn't want to go like an idiot, if I did go I would have went slow anyways. Probably would have caught up to them when they were in the ditch.
