That was better when it had the soundtrack!

I've neglected this thread (don't have the internet at home yet), it deserves more of my time.
 
As if being an awesome racing driver dude wasn't enough, he's technically called Penis Penis. Amazing:D

I'm sure I once saw an onboard vid from conrod straight where 2 drivers are going mental at each other while one is passing the other, I've never been able to find it again though!

The narrow part about 1 min in is about 6ft wide and bumpy as hell my parents tell me 80+ was done down there a few times, I was watching this as a very excited child :)

In fact I'm next to or in the green vehicle in our then farm lane on your right at 1:14/5

The S bend just before that claimed many cars and provided much entertainment till we moved in 97 :(
