Ah the good old uphill hairpins. Going through these at full bore, the front LSD in the STI was very apparent. In my WRX I used to completely light up my inside front tire on these but the front LSD in the STI kept things nice and smooth. This car really is a totally different animal and its definately taking some getting used to. Just gotta remember to use the e-brake sparingly

It was a pleasure driving with you all, (Ed and me should be outlawed), looking forward to the next one. I need to bring a better radio next time, only a few people could hear my warnings about cars coming the other way.

As for my 4eat: I’m the answer to all the people that say WRX 4eat owners are slow and lack the skill to drive. After 6 years and now 10 i-club drives, my baby has never let me down; still pulls great in 2nd gear.
Your driving was most impressive indeed.

Ah yes, nothing quite as satisfying as following rental convertibles at 15 mph while having bicyclists yell at you......
