Doing the Rest & Be Thankful hillclimb in my Citroen DS on the 2012 Scottish Malts historic rally with johnfm off PH as my navigator.

NSFW because John says 'fk' at the end as I overshoot the finish and cost us a 5 second penalty.

Tunnels are good :-)
I once followed Jules Holland in his LW E-Type rep into Goodwood and through the tunnel. Is it possible to drive through there and not blip the throttle? I know I've never managed.
After I'd had the bonnet come open on my 150 I had to drive the car back home (B8 went in the RAC truck with the remains of the bonnet). The route back went under and underpass, that sounded really good too with the engine bay wide open so you could hear that part of the Lyon's symphony too.

That would probably address most of the original's shortcomings biggrin
As for sharing the things I've done in my car that have put a grin on my face - you'll get me arrested...
