If you are wondering what the trumpets of angels sound like, listen to F1 champion Mika Hakkinen rip through the gears in the 1995 Ueno Clinic McLaren F1 GTR.
This is at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca this past week. I missed this demo run but it was all anybody was talking about. Every third conversation was about how hard he looked like he was driving and how good the car sounded.

I did manage to see the car in its pit stall, and I was actually raptured.
I’m gone. Goodbye. I went out as I had always dreamed I would: after seeing a car I really liked and then dying of joy.

“Every third conversation was about how hard he looked like he was driving and how good the car sounded.”
You know, I had to read that a few times because I kept reading..
“Every third conversation was about how hard he looked [while] he was driving and how good the car sounded.”
I mean, I would be excited to drive the car too but I don’t if I would be that kind of excited.
