Wink morning Touge run with friends - pictures & videos

Some things to share with y'all... been a while since I posted anything here.

So we started before the crack of dawn and saw the sunrise as we were driving up the mountain... it was a beautiful sight and an absolutely joy running on that road. My only complaint is the scorching sun by 6:30am... haha

But beyond that, what a DRIVE! I just replaced my fronts with wider rubber (225/45/17) and it really helped with minimizing understeer especially on downhills.

Enough talk, please enjoy these























Many more photos here:

As well as 3 videos: (Please don't flame on my newbie driving & shifting ) And sorry for the wind noise!

I'm jealous. There's no roads like that around Cleveland. We have to drive a couple of hours to southeast Ohio to find anything like that.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, they are great!
