#Hitchhiking at midnight in the early 90s me & my girlfriend were picked up in Portsmouth by 2 very old, very posh, insomniac ladies in a vintage sports car - they drove us all the way to Brighton at about 120 mph with us terrified in the back & them saying things like: “Gladys loves the wind in her hair”. Often wonder what became of them. #psychedelicduelling #deathdrive #thanatos
