ROUTE 1 - SEISHO BY-PASS

Early on a holiday morning, I drive a red convertible along Route 1s Seisho Bypass.
The sea breeze feels great.
With the sunrise at my back, I head straight for the mountains.
My foot presses the accelerator without thinking.
With clutchless paddle shifts, the speed surges past the redline.
All right - Hakone, here I come!
A sudden exit - a sharp curve!
Nailed it - counter-steer! A three-and-a-half-turn drift!
A wall tap - close call, but safe.
My seat feels cold; somehow theres a little puddle on it.
After that little mishap, theres no need to stop - so I stay at full throttle!
