KevinA 695 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 Thought I would bore you all with the 86's progress on my week heading north, did about 300 miles today and staying in Kendal tonight. 60% of the driving was in very heavy rain and lots of standing water and I must say the Nankang NS 2R's were brilliant in the wet, at all speeds there was never a clenching moment. The dry performance is not far off the 888's which I have done lots of driving on, but the wet is much better. Ride on the coilovers has been comfortable and not a problem so far, Fort William tomorrow so will get some car pictures.

rob275 1817 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 I hate driving in the rain, especially if it's dark outside. My eyes just go blurry and I can't see any road markings haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Awesome! Shame I was up in Scotland last weekend climbing Ben Nevis. Stopped off through Glen Coe too. Lovely roads up there! Need to take my GT86 back up there some time to enjoy them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Awesome stuff Kev, I've been meaning to do a Scotland trip but that won't be happening any time soon I don't think. Keep us posted on the hotspots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinA 695 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 This one seemed to rather like the orange car, OH nearly had it on her lap. Did a good round trip on the Isle Of Skye with all the usual touristy stuff. On the way to our overnight at Loch Ness we found some serious roads, shall we say I got the Debs attention very quickly. Pushed pretty hard and cannot induce understeer which is pretty impressive on the tyres behalf. So far the 86 has been very good and inspires confidence, guess some lap times on a circuit where I have bench marks must be done soon. Monster spotting tomorrow so who knows........
