A Black Spider on a Country Rd

[msiert]

This is a video of my Spider on River Drive down by the Missouri River



Here is an aerial veiw of part of the road.

Map of 14445 N River Dr Omaha, NE by MapQuest

The star marks a cool little fried chicken and catfish restaurant that has a nice big patio with picnic tables that over looks the river. There is always a colorful crowed there.

Follow River Drive north up to P51 where it connects to the T intersection P49 & P51, that is my turn around point. Then I go back past the restaurant where River Drive turns into N River Drive then that turns into John J Pershing Drive the fun stops when I get down to Interstate 680.

Murray--good sensation of speed along with some great engine sound.

Not only is black fast, but it has a lot of class as well.

There is little doubt that Black is fast, but Graphite Grey is very fast as well.

Especially, when equiped with close-ratio first to third gears-- and-- carbon fiber discs in the LSD.

Nebraska Coast Guard!!

Reminds of when William Jennings Bryan was Secretary of something and for the opening of the Panama Canal--he invited representatives from the worlds navies--including the Swiss Navy.

It's true.

It's a good idea to post the link to the map of your route--nice bit of road.

I can't post the link but Google Map-- U B C Vancouver.

This shows a couple of sets of "twisties" on Marine Drive as it goes around Point Grey. One set of esses has a slight negative camber and a manhole cover that really psychs out my buddy with the A.C. Ace.

Of course, it doesn't bother one old 101 Spider with a fresh, but standard suspension.

That is a nice stretch of road! Love the engine sound too.

Nice vid there Murray! Your car sounds great!!

We're headed out tomorrow for the weekend with a bunch of Italian Sports Car friends to spend a weekend in the Virginia countryside - straightening out some twisty roads, sampling some wine and taking in the scenery.

Have a great weekend!

if you're not using any opposite lock
in the turns at 5:45 and 6:15, you aren't
going anywhere near fast enough

Odd, I can't seem to get the map to load.

The UBC Point Grey map just loaded for me. I am a bit closer


Nice vid, I wish my Spider's sounded like that.

Back in '83 or so I had a 'Fear and Loathing' type experience walking the length of the beach around UBC including "Wreck Beach". It was pretty cold, so we just went "bottomless". Had a great time that evening with a bonfire on the beach and a bunch of other college students. Eventually, I had to push my buddy back to his place in a shopping cart....but I digress. Sorry for the memory hijack Murray!

Hey Murray, sorry if you have already answered this,

What kind of camera are you using, and how did you attach it? I want to make some track footage, but I don't have time to buy a mount.
