Sounds . . . tame. Sure they added Hurricane Mountain Road for good measure, but left out all of the juicy details. Fortunately, I'm well connected in the land of the unconnected just east of Crawford Notch. Yes, much fun was had, but fear of prosecution has forced Jeff to abridge the unabridged.
The most obvious modification mentions the local traffic authorities pausing but continuing onward. I have it on reputable source that pursuit ensued. All three members of the trio began evasive action. The officer was no match for the superb driving skill and unparalleled vehicular performance. Every twist in the fabric of asphalt widened the gap, and before all of the two police officers in the county could converge, the Lotus owners were parked at the the Red Fox, engines cold, and glasses full.
The story could end here, but it doesn't. With tires hanging off both edges of Hurricane Mountain Road, some biker friends of mine spotted the wild threesome as they disrupted a monster truck club meet. Facing far worse than moving violations, the tiny British cars evaded the irate behemoths by nimbly driving under the misplaced 4x4's. The trucks were no match for such fine road-going vehicles, so their owners went back to shooting signs with shotguns.
And if that weren't enough, I'm told there's more. Although the details are vague, there are reports of slaloming through a herd of crossing moose. At one point, just as rocks began to fall off of an approaching cliff, the fearless drivers accelerated and passed unscathed. Rumors of jumping collapsed bridges and climbing Mt Washington in the snow have circulated in local watering holes. It's only matter of time before more details surface and the full extent of their automotive exuberance is known.
