I got that too, I guess when we panic or see certain danger then our time and perception are enhanced somehow, unless your drunk of course then you get the opposite.

I don't know how old you are, anim, but the advice above about doing track stuff is good advice.

I was quite over the top when young, but the first season of SCCA racing took that street nuttyness out of me.
Consider some of the extensive track events you have in UK.

The silliest risk my Boxster made me do is to buy it.

I can't throw too many stones, as an idiot 19 year old, I stood on one foot of my Seca 750 @about 75 mph, I'm 6' 1" btw... We used to call it the flying eagle although I'm not sure if it was a common name and behavior.

So when did I have my MCY accident? When a pregnant woman ran a stop sign, god knows there were other times I deserved to die, anyhow being around to remember it now changes my trajectory. When you drive any sports car there are always driving "gunfighters" who want to "go". If you raced every challenge you would forget where you were going....
