Adventure

Some of the best fun you can have in a car is using it for something it wasn't intended for. My 400hp Fairlane made a great paddock car. 3-on-the-tree, 6cyl HQ Holdens make great circuit cars. Hunter S. Thompson assured us that a Vincent Black Shadow is the mount of choice for an offroad race.

I once saw a bloke towing a two horse trailer with one of those big-block 2.6 litre Sigmas. I'm not sure he was having fun, but it looked interesting.

Then there's this beast that Daniel captured reversing the rotation of the earth at Ironback Dragway:



We're driving a little ways out of town next weekend to see another car being used entirely inappropriately, again for Gasoline magazine. More details in a few weeks.
