Since I was only doing 40kph behind a dithering tourist, I took a video.

It never is. That's over peat-bogs and the like, so the vegetation is always fairly brown and sullen. When the clouds roll in it al goes just a bit Mordor.

I'd say the vocalisations are more a side effect from filming one handed. Hmm, I've belted down a similar road at 100kph but that had more places to dive off. That road to me's a 60kph one, conditions depending.

Could've gone faster, but slow traffic and death...... Last time I was up that road was mid-winter and nearly pitched it over a cliff on ice.

I had to go looking for more of this -- turns out she's a Irish girl, and she was just on Britain's Got Talent 2015 earlier this year. Catch the clip below -- and watch the expressions on the judges' faces when she explodes into action!

OK, it's not a direct link to the images, just to the Tumblr post which features them. But they're animated.
