I had to wade thru the whole lot to find the classic featuring Alain De Cadenet creaming his jeans as the Spit roars over.. (last picture.)
He is an old racing driver and a feature writer in a Classic Car mag I subscribe to.
If you haven't seen this video before, have a look. The language warning doesn't exaggerate, however I think most of the world has seen this
one by now.
