After the driver's meeting I told Robert I really wanted to follow a Boxster, since I hadn't managed to all day and he said, "OK, follow me." There was some chuckling and some doubters that I could keep up, especially in my stock rental Emmy twin. What the hell, all I can do is try.... It was a funny moment for me when I whipped out the camera to take the classic ride pic of the car in front of me and rearview mirror of the car behind me.... gleep. ![]() Another Richard Boxster driver was behind me donning his driving glove.. and I am thinking... uh oh.... I remember something Robert was saying earlier in the day about not wanting an AudiTT enema... ![]() ![]() I am glad I got the pic but it gave me a late start following Robert, and that was pretty much the last I saw of him. (Yes, that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.) So there was Richard behind me, and happily not many behind him, and I was determined not to slow his ride, did my best to stay out in front and even got some distance occasionally- he was probably reading a book at those moments- but he always gave me some room, which I really appreciate. For the record, I hate being followed too closely- having been rear-ended 3 times in 3 cars already. What can I tell you, it was a damned sweet ride. ![]() Richard waves buh-bye to those splitting at an intersection It was an evil pleasure riding between the BoxStars. If not for a slow truck in front of Robert, I never would have seen him again. |
