Its a great road to 'test' your car - good surface, almost no traffic and very wide verges, meaning no suprises of the kangaroo variety either.

Also cuts a decent amount of time off the trip.

I've heard Sue's Rd is a hottie...someone I know claims he did 300kmh in his new GTR (apparently it's had some performance upgrade kit ex-Japan).

The best road I reckon is Caves Rd from Dunsborough to Augusta. Can't wait to run the M3 down there!

Caves Road is good, but too much traffic, too many cops and massive kangaroo problem at dawn and dusk.

Road between Balingup and Nannup has to be the best I have found in WA for twisty bits - I will be visiting it in the 135 ASAP!

For top end stuff I find the roads in the wheatbelt (e.g. south of Merriden) to be excellent - no one around, great visbility and surfaces.

all these country roads are on google maps streetview - but they have no coverage of tuart hill, 5km from the cbd?!?

Nannup-Balingup road looks good, 41km of turns!

Nevermind mate. One less 1 series for me to compete against for most shine

I'm pretty much writing Saturday off to get rid of the build up winter grime and bring her back to better than showroom shine!

hehe, you'd beat me anyway. I just give it a wash and a shammy every 2-4 weeks and put Turtle Wax Ice on it once every 3 months. Too lazy to keep it clean :P

It would have been good to get a heap of 135's there though

PS. take some pics.
