He appears to have driven to Colorado, but possibly post war!

Have all those comments, replies and researched proposals just been abandoned in Glasgow?

Andrew Brown's list of trials hill includes Copper Wood, Coppy and Copt Hall, but not Cop Out.

Despite the considerable redundancy in the brakes, if a passenger I would have walked the steep hidden bit. (And if steering arm not checked would have walked the lot)
Appears about 1 in 3!! Maybe road does a loop out of sight.

With the later head and a run up would likely succeed.  If several stone lighter I might brave being passenger, but with the door open and feet on the running board.

With those bare hills, I think it is likely an artist's rendering of Hoover Dam. I would not be worried about the power, more the brakes!

That looks like Mike's car, I hope he has good brakes.
