Drove a Monaro CV8 today. It was nice - six-speed manual, 5.7GenIII V8, 18″ wheels. My Dad came with me to make sure I didn’t do any burnouts in it, I think. It was heaps of fun to drive, though. I really wish I could have had more of an opportunity to try it out, basically all I got to experience was the straight-line acceleration (which was very good, thankyou). The exhaust note was really nice, fairly loud for a standard car, with that V8 rumble.
Oh listen to me wax lyrical about this car; it was only yesterday I was lamenting the number of people driving these barges with enormous engines…
So anyway my drive was cut short because our network at work went spastic because of a SQL Server 2000 vulnerability that causes it to DDoS. Three of the SQL Servers on our LAN were trying to send out around 150Mb/sec, and the router wasn’t happy. Quentin had to come in and help, because I was drowning.
And in other news, the exhaust on my offroading Charade has been on its way out since I’ve had it. Today it finally decided enough was enough. Now my car sounds like a tractor, which was lots of fun on the freeway when I was in a rush; going back to third gear next to other drivers got their attention! Some didn’t take things too well and just got angry at me; I really didn’t care.
Anyway, I’m off to probably the best nightclub in Brisbane.
