There are quite a few points there where you are driving faster than you can stop in the distance you can see to be clear. IMO you'll have an accident sooner or later if you continue. Unless of course the road is one way.

I know the road well. Fantastic video footage.

I don't think there are many scoobies in St Lucia though.......

well I must be honest I was not pushing it just driving in my normal fashion.
when you drive the road every day you tend to get very used to it.
Only six STI's on the island.

wow - pretty rare indeed! Do you have more than 1 car? I found a lot of the roads were unpassable unless you had an off roader......

I "so" need a different lifestyle - those roads would make the daily grind a pleasure.

Having said that, I'd be so bold as to suggest you're not using the box enough - some of the tighter corners appear to be in too high a gear, with the engine sounding like it's bogging down and the car running wide. I realise that criticising another blokes driving is a cardinal sin but I hope you take in the constructive way that it's meant

And of course I'm not jealous in any way at all

I got to 59 seconds before I had to stop as your VTA dump valve was irritating the hell out of me.

Obviously not at the concrete bits which when wet can make life very interesting, also missing some of the local guys having a **** outside the bars/shacks and shaking their d*cks at any car passing with women in them
