Another short break in Boulder Creek (gas, if needed), then up Highway 9 (east) to Skyline, where we assemble at the little rest area there for a final meeting.
It was a ride (in my Miata) over this bit of road (a part of my commute, actually) that prompted Hugo to say:

Seeing as I've been frightened by your driving in the miata, I think I'd just pass out if you were driving the M coupe over those mountain roads... ;)
Though I don't think you'd have any problem in the coupe; one of my coworkers described a similar ride in the coupe as "relaxing." 
I guess it's all a matter of perspective, I would have put blasting through roundabouts on the way back to London in the same category as that run over 9. Hugo and I had the same problem, though, it's very disconcerting being in what we're programmed to believe is the driver's seat, with no steering wheel to hang on to. ;)
(Jon, have we met at the track? I'm one of Aaron's instructors...white '90 w/ blue stripes)
