Growing up in V8 country, reminds me of - There’s no replacement, for displacement.

'Yumping.....'
I did that on a night navigation rally, my mate was calling the bends from an OS map which was fine until we found an unexpected dip in the road and went airborne with a heavy landing which blew the seals on the front dampers, luckily I was working at Longbridge at the time so a word with the right person got me a new pair of dampers.

Technically that was on roadWhile technically "off-road", I'd be happy to take my kit-car up and through that . . .
We didn't get any photos or video of us doing the washed out bit of Splashy Lane.

. I started drag racing at that age with a home built heap and never had any money for the rest of my life
Me at 18
I discovered forest rallying in the 70's and that was me, skint forever. It is one of the reasons I no longer have anything tasty in the garage anymore, I worked out how much it was costing me! Duriung the XR3i era I rebuilt and restored a Sunbeam Rapier series V - one that had been done back in the sixties for Sunbeam (Rootes Group I think) and it went like stink. Was often fun at the lights. :-)

Couldn't afford them.
Bamford Clough in Derbyshire was used on a couple of classic trials - I've been up it a few times.
For some unknown reason, the council tarmacced it - its become the steepest street in the UK - something for pedal-ists to go up to add a notch to their cross-bar.
Except its now so nicely smooth, there's no grip - dangerous for horses, walkers, Lots of lines of cones across it on the drains to try to warn the speeding downhill now non-pedal-lists that they about to go bum over tit at high speed . . while wiping out the family out for a sunday struggle . . .

My iX3 will do 0-60 in just over 6 seconds ( which was supercar territory when I was a yoot) . 0-30 is rapid . Had a few traffic light grand prix against various chav chariots since I got it . Not been beaten to 30mph yet ( they fly past me when I get to the speed limit though as I’ve taken foot off of accelerator
Slammed VW - if it ain’t rubbin it’s not dubbin
