We decided to meet up early Friday morning at 10:00 am to go driving and try out a few cars since we are going to go on the GulfRun on Nov 15th. We had a Carrera S, Audi RS4, Audi R8, and BMW M6, we met up in Mishref and things started from there.
We went straight to the gas station to fill up the gas and check the tire pressures on all the cars. Soon we were on the highway heading towards the equestrian club since there were a lot of nice roads in that area and that we were enjoying for a little bit before starting our excursion. We started down the sixth ring road to the seaside road next to Bida’a, and stopped for some pictures there. What’s interesting is that all the different vehicles having extremely different characteristics and were built for different purposes. For pure power the M6 was the fastest but not the best handling, the best handling by far was R8. The RS4 and Carrera S could hold their own, the RS4 was launching perfectly and since it was four wheel drive it could take off at the line. The Carrera S was handling perfectly and holding with the R8 on a straight line, but on a very curvy road the R8 would put its distance from all the vehicles. It was a very fun day that started in the morning and went through into the afternoon.
As soon as we reached the end towards KPC we stopped to again relax for a bit and we headed down the road towards Le Notre to take the first ring road the car wash to get all four vehicles washed. It was one hell of day, and even driving hard and pushing these cars gets you worked up. Since we were coordinating so much we were thirsty as hell, that is the one thing that got to us all day we were very thirsty towards the end. When we finished cleaning all the vehicles we took the cars back to our starting location before all heading home. We had a fantastic time, good music and a nice start to the morning. After four hours of this event from the morning we all headed home, and the best thing was taking the cold shower and relaxing a bit as soon as I got home. The funny part was there was still a lot left to the day, but did do a lot from the morning.
