Top Gear

Yesterday was a very exciting day for the residents of Oceanview Avenue. We made another trip to the country to pick up Clare's new, very sporty, red car - a Mazda RX8. After a lovely lunch with Clare's huge family (they had all come over to see the car), we set off back to Sydney to see how the car handled on the country roads and on the motorway.
I was only a passenger but it was very exciting never-the-less.

In my opinion the torque split, all-wheel drive system achieves a fine balance between sporty control that makes it particularly fun to drive with good handling stability on snowy or wet surfaces or under other challenging road conditions.
We didn't look quite so cool when we pulled in to the petrol station and couldn't work out how to open the petrol cap.

A little bit of extra exciting news is that I have applied for my moped test/licence which means that while Clare is sporting around in her new car, I'll be able to scoot around Sydney on her moped!!! It probably won't go as fast as the car though.....
