Just remember that it's not a racetrack but just a scenic area with a pretty steep hill. I would want to try and take that corner at 150kmh because you'd end up in the valley for sure. The guardrail that is around the outside of that corner shows that someone probably already did.

"Twyn Rivers, which is the road just East of the Meadowvale exit from the 401"
To get there, exit at Meadowvale, and head North. 2 lights up, turn right onto Sheppard Ave. East. After like 0.3km's, Sheppard itself will start to bend right but there is a road that continues straight. Turn on your left indicator and head down there. This is by far the best road I have ever seen in Toronto.
If you go onto maps.google.ca , type in this "50 Twyn Rivers, pickering, ontario" and go to hybrid mode and zoom in you see the road.

I was too busy hanging on......
There was some serious pucker power happening, suctioning onto my seat

What I love about being Canadian:
When I came back from holidays, after not having real internet access for 3 weeks ("dial-up", sort of, but slower, at the cottage- I like to think of it as roughing it- no router either, if you can imagine), I just about fell off my chair as I read some really funny, and nice posts on the Canada forum. To some extent, much credit to the boys responding to SweetGirl's first posts, but honest, I had to get up and get a kleenex I was laughing so hard. There's just a different tone on the Canuck forum, eh.
Now, here, in this post, note that several folks forgot/didn't know to/didn't care to scrub the license plates in a whole whackabunch of photos.
Some would perhaps feel somehow invaded by this, I guess, but it speaks to our Canadian nature. It doesn't even don on many of us to scrub the plates. Naive? Perhaps. More likely, more trusting than folks from elsewhere. Our culture doesn't demand that we protect ourselves from harm at every turn, perhaps.
Around the corner from where I live now (as I've seen in many rural places around the country, as well), there is a fruit and vegetable stand with no one attending. Lots of produce, and a re-used ice cream bucket with bills and coins that reads "Please pay here, change inside."
Please pay here, change inside, and leaving 4 Kruzen, a cool plate in anyone's books, for all to see. These are the types of things that make us Canadian.

The only time I'm **** about not having my plates displayed is when I'm on track...you never know with insurance. Of course it figures that the one time I leave my plates on at the track, the pic of the car on track appears in the Star. D'oh!

I'm sure we all agree that there is a different tone on our forum that is rare and precious.
It's great to have such a friendly place to visit.
Having said that, Ian is right, tho...it's best not to take any chances with personal info such as licence plate #'s on the internet.. just to be safe...
