Family mini road trip with my father (Challenger) and brother (Supra)

Beautiful day through some proper twisty tight roads between Ørje and Halden.

My significant other found it hard to film much due to elevation changes 😅



My brother's beautiful 1994 Supra. LHD, manual, originally from Canada. Borg Warner single turbo, ca. 500bhp.
Wrapped in PWF Black Opalus, which looks stunning and changes colour so much depending on the light.

Great photos and footage 😅, congrats! I already have carbon wrap on the bonnet of my GRY as well, but the black area on the boot is fantastic too.You gave me a great idea for the wrap of my future Mk2.

That's exactly the appearance of my garage before moving back to Italy... I miss my Red Edition Focus RS, I loved it so much. In Italy taxes are too high on an RS, so I had to replace it with a Fiesta ST3. I love it the same, anyway.

Thanks! The car is black under the wrap, so the bonnet and boot are actually just PPFed, not carbon wrap.

Still getting used to the latest set of shoes,.... and bit later a first impressions in the lower grip tyres thread coming.

So I wrote a tyre review. But it's big bigger then that.

For those not following the forum in detail, I've since long been looking for a summer tyre that is not giving that endless grip feeling which some love, but I don't. This is opposite to everything we learn about tyres and always wanting more grip, and there are 3 major misunderstandings about lower grip tyres:

- Just buy a shit ditchfinder tyre. Wrong, it must behave both in cold rain and dry hot summer, shit tyres typically only do one. And a fun tyre is progressive in both those conditions and can take some abuse.

- Lower grip? You'll be slow! Wrong, this car is so fast and grippy, lower grip a little doesn't suddenly make you slow. Driving and learning the car more often on the limit might actually make you a better and thus faster driver.

- Lower grip tyres must be narrow. Nope, in the dry a wider tyre runs cooler and can thus keep lower grip longer and last longer at the same time, provided the compound is suitable.

If I had a big budget like rally testing I could have found the tyre on a few testing days, now it took me nearly 3 years and 6 different tyres used and tested to find 'the one' in the right size. The thread documents that journey but my final review and also a recommendation in similar spirit for stock size rims too is here:
https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/lower-grip-tyres-discussion.596/post-100907

So finally found my summer tyre, happy to put the experimenting behind and having here informed my fellow drivers this slightly different aporoach, I can now forget about it and focus on driving...

Ah ok, mine is white, so I need to go for a wrap. Your car is really amazing, I'll take inspiration from it for my Mk2 for sure, congrats!

It's interesting how cars have grown. The Supra looks small when compared to the other cars.
