The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Heh! This reminded me of a groupie that went with us on a trial of a rally timed track in Europe, back in the 70s. At the end, she had half the seat cover in her hands. Don't ask me how she managed to do it!
I thought what was priceless were the facial expressions of the driver compared to the TV host who, to me, seemed to be faking her reactions and not doing a very convincing job of it.
Peter, have you seen this vid of F1 driver Riccardo Patrese taking his wife for a spin around a track? It's hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Oc3KDjJ-A

I wish I spoke German, but that's hilarious. She seems to have spent most of the time afraid to look forward.
ReplyDeleteWalter showed a stone face the whole time he was at speed. Seems like concentrating on what you're doing is more important than looking good doing it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a split screen version with a camera facing forward to the road.
