I,m trying to do the 2 page quiz in classic car weekly and win £1000! Bloody difficult. I worked out 67 of the 70 cars but can't do the crossword! Any help?
And I'm still in bed asleep!!!
That said, that undercarriage probably wouldn't stand a chance in the rather hefty sleigh track a bit further up in the hill here in Oslo. The toboggans they use are hardcore ones, and the track/slope is supposed to be superb. Never been to it myself, but people that have say it is excellent. And the best bit is that the start of it and the end of it both are just by a tube station each (some three stations apart, I think, where the train/tube track is rather steep).
So what they do is to take their toboggan to furthest station, get on the toboggan and go downhill this so-called "corkscrew" track (appropriately named), and then get on the next tube upwards to get to the top again. A one day pass on the tube, and you can do it for hours for little money. The city council has tried to close the slope, but public opposition has been too overwhelming - so they've bowed to pressure and tried to make it a bit safer instead. SO it is still open, but the question is for how long this madness will be allowed to go on for in this age of health and safety conciousness..
Check out this madness for yourselves here: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-zxXBWkGYI
Living in the flat, boring fens means we have very few slopes to take a toboggan down.
I hope they let it stay open. Health and safety is all well and good, but where's the fun in life if you can't ocassionally risk death doing something stupid?
