Aaah, I love the smell of "huile de ricin" in the morning! In my crazy
younger years back in France, I used to drive an Alfa-Romeo GTA, a "group C"
version of the Veloce with special suspension, magnesium alloy wheels,
aluminium body double ignition, oil cooler etc... 170 HP for 1750CC...and a
"long" fifth gear that would take this baby up to 240Km/Hr. I was using
"some" castor oil in the mix.. That smell and the sound of the exhaust sure
did please the ladies...
Oh well...and then came the freeway speed limits... and then I crashed it
and got the scare of my life, which I owe to the remarkable handling of this
car and to some good reflexes...
I now prefer the more sedate excitement derived from military vehicles (not
always at convoy speeds though ;)
