Default No disasters this time

Last December I was desperate to do the Big Three Sydney roads in one day in the new cobra. A ruptured fuel line stopped me in my tracks half way up the Pacific Highway. Towed home So this year the plan was to do the Old Pacific Highway, Central Mangrove to Broke, Putty Road to Windsor then the Bell's Line of Road to Bell and home to Linden from there. 500km later, covered in bugs and stiff as, I climbed out of the cobra. New Avids behaved very well. Car pulled like a train and there was no traffic
At one point on the Putty road I decided to wind it out. I got up to 130 and decided it wasn't worth loss of licence. Slowing to legal speed, I round the next corner to see Mr Plod revenue raising on this quiet country road
It's a great loop and a great blast in a cobra. Plenty of tight stuff to test your nerve.
Do it on a Saturday morning. Everyone else is at the shops
