Recently, I went down to Kerry for a few days in my 1922 Model T, stepping out of one of the fastest cars on the road, in one of the slowest. I was very ambitious, and decided to tackle some of the mountain passes there. I unfortunately met my match, 20 feet 
from the top of the incredibly steep road up into Portmagee on the Skelling Ring, Tim O'Tee suffered an asthmatic attack. He coughed and gave up. Unfortunately, his brakes wouldn't hold him on the incline and he proceeded to travel downhill, backwards, at an alarming speed. Facing inevitable death, I had to steer him into the bank on the side of the road. The other side of the road had a drop into the bowels of ****, and was suitably encased in fog. After much kind words were exchanged with Tim, he chugged back into life. The downside of the mountain was equally steep, and having only brakes on the rear wheels, it resulted in a semi-controlled and completely frightening descent!
