Pike's Peak
Roger Matthews gave it his all in his A2 VW Jetta attacking Pike Peak during the international hill climb. He was having a good run until he encountered motor failure as he neared the top of the mountain. Roger's reply, “I guess I have to do it again next year - as I'm not great with failure. We did have a great time overall.”
