Went for a great ride on Saturday, lots of bikes out enjoying the post-Winter/pre-Spring sunshine.

I caught up with an enthusiastically-driven Audi A8 4.2 diesel on the twisties and I have to say I was impressed with how well it handled and it's exit speed from corners was phenomenal.

I had to use more than half throttle to overtake it

DOHC V8 twin-turbo. Quite an animal in motion and they are not unpopular here in England.

12R must have a death wish!

He's riding on the wrong side of the road!

Audi's and buells are very similar. Made for handling... made for the twisty roads.

Driving my (modified) Audi A4, I've had sport bikes get over and let me pass on The Dragon.

My favorite car I've owned was a 1981-1/2 Audi Coupe. At full song, that inline 5-cylinder sounded like a small block Chevy V-8. The thing would get 36 MPG on the highway at 70 MPH too. Not fast by today's standards, but it was a fun car to drive.

My vote for coolest video on youtube is the Audi unlimited rally car doing the run up Pike's Peak. Can't remember the driver's name, but he definitely had great big brass ones!
