That gave me more confidence in adverse conditions than any race-track experience could (thumbs on top). The other one, for sheer exhilaration was when Rolls Royce arranged with the MoD for us to attend the tank training on Salisbury Plain, driving anything from Chieftains to Ferret Scout cars. We only had around 10 minutes driving the tanks on our own and even then it was a very limited speed. But to be strapped in one when an experienced driver was thrashing it around the test route was a bone-jarring, liver-liquidising experience that will live with me forever. Tank personell are nuts, pure & simple
I've got a family member who got into a lot of trouble once whilst in the army for rolling a tank going too fast around a bend on a hillside.
