Back in March, I drove to the "Four Corners" from Las Vegas and return in a rented Mazda 2. I returned on as much of the old Route 66 possible. I was there for six weeks training with a one week break to fill in.
Who knows if this thread will ever really gain any traction, but I thought I might as well try haha
So, here's my story:
Just this week we've been driving up to Sydney, from Melbourne, in my Aunt's Mazda CX-7 Classic, which is fine, except when you decide to go through the Royal National Park with four people on board. To the person in the Fabia RS that was stuck behind us, I do apologise.

Today I offered to be Chaffuer and Guide to our nieghbours niece who is here on two weeks holiday from the Netherlands. The drawback was the hire car she had was a Hyundai I20.
Started off with a stop over at Kangaroo Point for a short walk and coffee. Then off to Coolangatta and lunch at Georges Paragon at Kirra.Try the Veal and Lamb.
Then headed back through Surfers Paradise and up to Mt Tamborine via Sir Henry Roberts Drive. The I20 was flat out at 20 kph in second struggling to climb at all. So glad to stop (just short of the top) at my nephews to take in the magic view of Surfers to Coolangatta. After spending from 9am to 4pm in the I20 my back was hurting from the feeble excuse for seating and I had nicknamed it a Pogo Stick for it's poor dynamics. Resisted any overtaking moves, it had four adults on board, and I wanted to live one more day.
The Polo is just so much better. Well it does you good to drive another car occasionaly.
Hey it just goes to prove 'you don't know what you got till it's gone!'
