adrenaline buzz

Finding out my divorce cost me over 100k cash made the blood pump faster!

 

Spinning Dad's new Volvo car on the A1 had the same effect.

 

Steering column coming detached at 90+ in an RS2000 on the M1 made my passenger yell out!

 

Doing 50 miles door to door in 30 minutes made a pint and a smoke welcome!

I guess we're all not particularly angelic behind the wheel, but in response to your seemingly boasted facts..............do yourself and the rest of us the courtesy of slowing down a touch, eh

if you want to feel the speed of the combustion engine, then get into motorsport, at least 99% of the time everything is going the same way and you have some form of protection

And ALL involved know the risks a accept them.

I did the speed thing as a callow youth. I got to 6 points for speeding and cut it out. As you all say, speed is for the track. I rarely drive faster than an indicated 70 which is actually 63.

 

The original post was about adrenalin - and a rush is bought on by risk or a near miss. Fright or flight. That is what my post was about.

buy a bike and do track days:)

or 1/4mile strips-get a 130bhp sports bike for a couple of grand, and whip the backsides off 200k sports cars-SMUG

I think I've lived a very risk free life thus far, that or I'm just lucky.

 

Had a few near misses driving, but then so has every one and most of the time it knocks some sense into us without paying a heavy price. I guess the only time I remember that may apply to the pain for pleasure category was when I was 7 and fell down the stairs only to run up and try again because it was good fun. I'm sure I'll have much more to talk about soon in this line of work though.
