This video is a real sphincter work out. It's long but worth it.

I went up the Peak a couple of times doing the tourist thing. Dirt road, no guardrails. Lots of areas where you can look over the side and see clouds down there, and a few areas where if you went off at speed, you might fall a quarter mile before you made the first bounce on the long trip down.

It was an unwelcome and sobering realization, that there were people out there who were crazier than I was...

Thanks. That is very cool. It is amazing how much the characteristics of the car drop off with the change in altitude. The higher he goes the more understeer he is getting and the revs just not quite as perky because of the thin air. Really good video.
:cheers:
