An interesting commute this morning.......I took the back way up to Ft. Lauderdale this morning. Krome Ave and interstate 27 run along the Everglades and is used mostly by truckers and adventuresome drivers, since part of it is two lanes and involves the the high speed passing game. The second part (27) is four lanes and straight for 20 miles. I was behind a Lexus SC 400 "Soarer" (a model I've never seen before). After passing multiple cars together for ten miles, we got to four lanes. There is an area that wide open and smokey can't hide, it was early (7:00 a.m.) so nothing was in the sky to nail you. That's when we really got it on. we got up to 135mph for a couple of minutes until I got to my exit....... I made it up there in record time.

P.S. Fairly new V rated Fulda 225 / 60/ 15 tires.

krome avenue???? Are you crazy. I hear about a major wreck on that road every week on the news. I have never been out that way in Miami...I am a sand between my toes livining on Miami Beach kind of guy. Heck...for the 1st year I was down here I did not even know where or have ever been on Miracle Mile in the Gables. I live on the beach and work downtown in Brickell. Other than the beach and work....I am trying to figure out my dang HP & torque figures as this is really puzzling me and I want to know my numbers.

By the way...I drive a black 95 T model with blacked out windows and now just lowered the the ebach springs today. So if you see me running around blink your lights at me or something.

if you want to meet up sometime...lunch or whatever. Shoot me an email. I can show you my car with all the mods on it after it gets done in about a month and I would like to know what you think as I have never know anyone else with a Q, nor have I ridden in another Q except for mine so I have nothing to compare my Q against.

I live @ 67th & Collins and frequenct all the clubs way too often. I plan on going up to Moroso in West Palm soon for a couple of runs down the 1/4, if you want to hitch a ride up there for half a day on a Saturday or Sunday let me know.
