Either a new driver or a confused driver must have been navigating today:







The bus was blessedly empty of passengers!
Local paper reports the driver was "off route" whatever that means.

I attended Cal Poly right when that undercrossing was built to replace the old at grade crossing. A local student housing complex had London double decker buses they had to dump because they were too tall to fit under according to campus legend.

I would have thought that Ruf would have eliminated the weight of the heavy mechanized top and went with a light weight manual top for the puristic pursuit of performance over convenience.

Date Published: 20 July 2015
RUF Turbo Florio




Quote:
The 991 Carrera Coupe is as good a handling car as money can buy. However, the change in weight distribution with the Targa’s heavy rear window glass and folding roof mechanism high up in the rear has a negative impact on the way the car turns into bends at high speeds, and this really skews the balance away from the fine handling of the Coupe....................................

In seven-speed dual-clutch form with 4WD, the Turbo Florio takes just 3.1 sec to reach 100km/h, and 9.2 sec from zero to double that velocity. And if you have enough straight autobahn, 300km/h comes up in 25.5 sec on the way to its 338km/h, or 210mph, Vmax.
