Upper Middle Petrol Head:

What drives sensible people to do stupid things?  Some smoke, despite overwhelming evidence that it will probably make them prematurely dead.  Others drink and drive.  Then there are those who join religious cults,  think that tattoos of their kids' names done in joined-up writing look classy or  believe that McDonald's actually employ baristas. UMPH has tried to live a moderately intelligent life.  He stopped attempting to ride motorbikes years ago, more often than not drinks in moderation and has never once voted Liberal.  So what on this funny little planet possessed him to buy a Fiat and why did he think it was a good idea to detour down Tasmania's east coast on his way home from the Longford Revival?    It may have been the weather.  The Weber twins' sweet music might have seduced him, too, as he and his mate from the last two Huon Valley adventures turned left at Conara and headed east - that and the fact he couldn't face the Midlands Highway twice in
