Actually, one of the reasons that I love to go home is that there is a
curve with a big "20mph" sign before it. The Highway Department painted
a squiggly line in the middle of the lane to indicate that you should
slow down.
Not me. I drop the 'B a gear, let the engine slow the car a bit, and
then blast out at around 55-65 mph. The MGB never slides, drifts, chirps
its tires, or complains. Just me aiming for the next curve with a huge smile
on my
face.
