A team of mates have been imagining about a fun highway vacation to Tail of the Dragon for a whilst and it ultimately occurred a number of months in the past. This was a single heck of a excursion and will be proper at the leading as one particular of my most effective road outings. We drove along roadways all-around Smoky mountains for two days. Considering that all of us drove everywhere among 9-12 hours for this meet up with, we factored a single day before and after to achieve our destination.

This meet up with had effectiveness autos, awesome roadways and excellent weather conditions. It was enjoyable as anyone had bought their vehicles inside the previous calendar year and have been hoping to discover the capabilities of their vehicles. We experienced appropriate total of driving on both equally days with planned breaks. Apart from extremely couple events, most roads experienced negligible or zero site visitors which was a massive moreover. We stayed as a group for the most portion and it was pleasurable speaking with walkie talkie. Switching automobiles gave us a style of every other’s cars as perfectly.

I was glad that my 1200 mile split-in services was completed just before this journey, this way I could drive the car or truck without having second feelings. It munched freeway miles and also twisty mountain streets like a champ. I had zero traction problems when pushing the car in damp circumstances even though I have the RWD edition.

I have pushed automobiles in the track for get the job done and also couple other instances with my GTI. Driving the M3 in those twisty mountain roads was a fully distinct expertise and travelling as a team just created everything even much better.

On a lighter observe, I am glad that my M3 did not have the most significant front grille in the course of this meet up with (thank you Genesis). Below are some shots from the travel.
