Re: Testing my limits (driving)

Yes, you can fly to America but the scenery on the way is a lot different. Riding through country villages at a snails pace due to traffic give your wife an interesting ride rather than endless views of tarmac. You of course are forced to drive rather than steer in a relatively straight line on the ...
