Ric,
Link does not work for me.
Please try again, thanks.
I did lots of that back in the 50's. Dad's MB Gullwing and my VW ... the Beetle was a hoot because of the heavy rear end.

I did learn to drive since I was 7, but only in the 70's (as 10 yo) I got to drive real cars on ice tracks...

Yes it is, and one don't need to own a Bentley for all the fun.
Just come over here and rent a car (what ever brand or rally cars) and have a lot fun.
One can also rent a snowmobile, husky dog team and even a reindeer. or then just skies.
The sun don't get up that high but only for an hour or so, and further up north, not at all!
But if the sky is clear the stars and the moon will give the shine.

Yeah, Mozilla was my problem, is OK now.
Recalls some fond memories. Also had a snowmobile in those days with a Wankel engine.
Thanks for the recall,
