Video of my Sunday drive!

Post by ga.spyder »

Here for your viewing pleasure :roll: is a video of a drive down Ga. 60 in rural N.E.Georgia. My son,who is now in college with obviously way too much time on his hands,decided to put it on youtube.It was really good with the music he chose,but it violated copyright so,now it has new music.Uhhh...not my cup'o' tea!...NOTE... It is only your imagination that there are double yellow lines on the passes :oops: :oops: The speed limit on that road varies from 35 down to 10mph!!

Lookin' good Craig. You would enjoy Hwy 60 in VA, going east from the Blue Ridge - very twisty. BTW, hands at 3 and 9 o'clock, please :D

Hey Craig, I can't believe a driving video of this length didn't have you passing a single other Spider!
That looks fun.

Craig, I really enjoyed it. Seems to be a very smooth pavement, unlike many we have around here. Safe passing, it seemed to me!

By the way, I quite enjoyed the music (and I'm 58). I don't know the group, and it is no longer my favorite style, but I do remember a time...

At least it's not the "death metal" that my contractor friend's son likes to listen to when I help out. That stuff makes me feel so peaceful when it stops. :shock: (It's the screaming that gets to me.)

I wish I could take a drive like that in North Texas. Out here everything is straight and flat :( .
Drowning Pool - Tear Away... perfect for that video. Your son has good taste in music :D

Thanks guys,I thought it was kinda cool.There were some much twistier sections that were edited ,because my daughter was having trouble with the camera.This area is full of those kind of roads,great for the Fiat.Peter,because of the wheel placement I have trouble w/ 3 and 9 position.I have adopted the Italiano 2 and 10!We have never tried to video anything like that before ,it was a lot of fun.My wife....wasnt too crazy about ''passing like that with Heather in the car'' :wink:
