The reason is that when I left to go on holiday to Orlando Florida I thought that I'd end up blogging about the differences in American driving styles to British and the differences in the roads there but I'm not. Bear with me here as this does relate to cars, in the end.
When there I rode on one of the best roller coasters of my life and it's called the Incredible Hulk in Universals Islands of Adventure, the place with Harry Potter World is what it's best known as. What's great about it is the start. You slowly go up a hill listening to a soundtrack from Bruce Banner. Some stuff goes wrong in an experiment he's doing and he turns into the Hulk. You then shoot up the rest of the hill through a multitude of tight corners and loops and sudden stops, experiencing massive acceleration, massive braking, big G Forces and getting a rather visceral and violent experience during the process.
The reason this relates to cars is that I have been asked how it felt to have a high speed passenger lap in the Radical SR3 the day I did my driving experience. I could never explain it other than saying awesome. But when I thought about how the Hulk makes you feel it made me think of the Radical. Visceral, fast cornering, amazing braking, massive acceleration and an awesome experience. I realized that to best explain how it feels to have a high speed ride in a Radical is how it feels to ride the Hulk. So if you haven't been driven in a Radical and have ridden the Incredible Hulk you now know.
If you have done neither then do one of them and place it very high on your to do list!
