Heh, exactly the same reason I went to the coast!
To be honest, I found the Clyde to be quite.....tame, granted I was going a bit easy as it was my first time (LOL Clyde virgin) and I was expecting some serious angles after all the hype people had given it. My DBA Slotteds worked a miracle though! Macquarie Pass is far more exciting and is something you reeeeally need to try (organise a cruise to Kiama). The Clyde's corners weren't really tight enough for my liking.
Oh....and Recaro's reeeeally aren't made for long trips!
Edit: Going up was very slow due to rain and visibility of like two meters.
And race_snooze, you were in an over taking lane....hence the hauling ass
