number 423 doom zoom to red rock

once as a child i cried all the way up this mountain because i thought we were going to fall off. all i could envisage was barrel roll after barrel roll, down the rocky gorge and an explosion of wild proportions into a fire ball that no one would ever find.

i re lived that moment out the back of some snowy mountain, on a clear kythirian day. terrain like moon scapes, to get to a cliff edge that had a small dirt road with no end in sight - but straight down...i was like i'm cool...all i could think was the rav 4 was going to get one little wheel off the hair pin turn and barrel roll a hundred times and end up in the bottom of the rocky gorge and explode into a wild fire ball that no one would ever find!

doom, zoom - straight down was the skillful drivers technique. i just closed my eyes tight, held my breath and opened them to this! (and a couple of nudists).
