Post a picture that encapsulates great moments in petrol head terms, simply shows a place and moment where you'd love to be in the drivers seat at that exact moment. My starter for 10!

I doubt I count as a petrolhead but the Paris - Dakar Rally has always looked like an awesome challenge to me and the picture below shows a car that I'd love to have tried it in. If I've got the wrong idea here let me know.

Assume first person perspective and ignition key in the pocket.

Never seen a track based car so high in the air before, major damage when it landed no doubt, but for those split seconds in the air it must have been amazing.

Empty Paul Ricard, 936 and sun set.

Sidenote: I used this image in a sig some years ago and couldn't find it again, I only had a little pert of it at a small size, but I found a kick arse reverse image search: http://www.tineye.com/
