Driving

The sun in Las Vegas is relentless, I was with my cousin Tomas driving to the Heliport outside of town for a helicopter tour over Grand Canyon. It was a miracle that the car’s plastic dashboard hadn’t started to melt under the intensity of the sun’s glare. When I stepped out of the car the heat hit me like a wave of steam, scorching my lungs when I breathed in.

I’ve always lived in the UK, so I have a certain perception of distances. For me the four and a half hour train ride from Edinburgh to London is a long way. Traveling in America opened my eyes. I had no idea just how big the distances in America are and how small the UK really is.

Most people have watched Jeremy Clarkson whizz around the Top Gear track while making ooing and ahhing noises. I’ve always wanted to know, would driving a supercar be as fun as it looks? Because damn does it look fun!
