ANGELES CREST HIGHWAY. Early evening. Nine miles up, all curves. You'll never hit speed- and on the weekends it's crowded - but if you're lucky mid-week, you'll have a good long stretch behind some kid with a tweaked M4 who knows the road and knows how to drift. You'll really learn what you can cannot do in a corner. I still go up now and then, mid-week, 6, 7PM. Try do do it in the next few days before it starts getting dark early. It's less fun at night. And some of the turnouts are jammed with car-club kids. I get nostalgic.

Thanks PK. I went up there a couple of years ago with my F-Type. It is a great road. I was there on an early weekend morning and you are right. McLaran car club, Porsche car club, Really fast bikes etc. It was a great ride. It is possible I had a short sprint on the way there at 128MPH. I'm not sure how solid this car would feel at that speed if I ever took it there.
No drifting for me. At least not yet. I need to take another ride out there.

Quick update, got a tip from an XKR FB site to do a "reset" on my windows, also saw a clip of the same on youtube. It was simple to do but more importantly it actually worked! I guess my windows weren't seating all the way up and the reset fixed it. Wow, what a pleasant difference with the top up now, loving the XKR more every day. Thanks all for input and discussion.
