Chapter 333 Which mountain is the famous autumn mountain?
The van brings to life the feeling of an off-road jeep when driven on Chujiu.
Last time we drove from Chongqing to Panzhihua on the expressway for more than eight hours. This time it took us 12 hours of alternating between national highways, provincial roads, county roads and rural roads.
It was late at night after refueling, and Chujiu was so sleepy due to the noise that he insisted that I come and drive for him for a while.
Under Chujiu's guidance, I drove the car. After two kilometers, Chujiu asked me to stop on the side of the road and gave me a fierce look, which completely frightened him out of his wits.
While having breakfast in Panzhihua, I calculated the journey.
It takes more than two hours to get from the city to the county seat where their village is located on Chujiu, and it also takes more than two hours from the county seat to the small village below their village. If it takes another three hours to go up the mountain, we should see light rain before four o'clock in the afternoon.
You must fill up your car with gas in the county town because this is the only gas station.
The so-called third hotel opposite the gas station was originally converted into a restaurant because of the owner's accident, catering to truck drivers passing by.
There are dirt roads from the county town to the villages at the foot of Zhaizi Mountain. I clearly remember this section of the road. I was shaken to the point of vomiting when I took the bus.
I don’t know if it was because Chujiu was driving a little too fast, but a jeep behind him caught up with Chujiu’s car and braked suddenly, almost causing us to hit the back of his car.
"Spicy hammer, looking for death?"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I was completely furious. I leaned forward due to sudden braking and was hit by the steering wheel. I cursed, opened the car door and jumped out.
"You son of a harpy turtle, can you drive a car? It's me. If it were anyone else, wouldn't you have hit a barbarian?"
I got out of the car just in time to see Chujiu kicking the other person's car door, leaving a big hole in the car door.
The young man who was originally preparing to come down and fight with Chujiu was slightly frightened by Chujiu's kick. He sat in the car and yelled, asking Chujiu if he knew how much his car was worth?
What answered him was that Chujiu raised his foot and kicked out a big hole.
"Son, if you can, come down and see if I don't break your arm and you drive like a hammer in the future."
It was the first time I saw Chujiu losing his temper. He was not afraid of a man who was taller and stronger than him, and actually frightened him so much that he did not dare to get out of the car.
"Forget it, on the ninth day of the lunar month, we didn't really hit each other."
I looked at the two deep holes on the other side's car door, and I could only send them to be made into sheet metal.
I just learned the word sheet metal from my friend at Deng Deyou Auto Repair Shop the day before.
On the ninth day of the month, I scolded the other man again, and I casually warned the young man to be careful when driving in the future, as it was not safe.
"Hey, do you dare to have a race with me? I've never seen anyone driving faster than me on this road!"
Just when we started the van again, the man in the jeep stuck his head out of the window and shouted loudly. I vaguely heard him say that he was Fujiwara Takumi from Akinayama, the county seat.
Although I had never heard of this Fujiwara Takumi, I still understood the meaning of the man's words. The reason he caught up with Chujiu was indeed because Chujiu drove fast.
I don’t know why Chujiu suddenly lost his temper. Instead, he smiled and stretched his hand out the car window to give the other person a middle finger.
Seeing this, the jeep on the opposite side made two violent roars from its exhaust pipe, and then suddenly rushed out, bringing up a burst of yellow dust from the rear of the car.
The car on the opposite side ran more than ten meters away, and Chujiu put it into gear and started. In the blink of an eye, our car started to speed up crazily, and I realized that Chujiu had agreed to race with the other car.
"Chujiu, are you out of your mind? That's a 212 Jeep on the opposite side. Are you racing with him?"
Even though the man's Jeep was all colorful with paint, I could tell at a glance that it was one of the few cars I knew.
Beijing 212 Jeep was born in 1965. It is the earliest passenger car produced in China and the purest ORV off-road vehicle.
Beijing 212 Jeep has an in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine, four-wheel drive, and front and rear drum brakes. Its maximum power is 75 horsepower. It weighs 1.4 tons. Its top speed can reach 120-130 kilometers per hour, and its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers
About 14l.
This knowledge was all told to me by Chujiu on the way to Fengwangzhai last time when I sent Xiaoyu to Fengwangzhai. He said that although this jeep is a gas-powered vehicle, its military chassis is destined to be fearless when traveling over mountains and ridges.
"Guo Guo, not all 212s are 212s. Although it looks the same as the one we borrowed from the last army, there are actually many big differences."
Chujiu told me that only the chassis of the civilian 212 Jeep is the same as the military one. As for other parts, there is still a big gap between it and the military one.
"Didn't you tell me before that that car is also called a gas tiger? Can our small displacement be comparable to others?"
Chu Jiu rolled his eyes at me. Men need to know more about cars. We are racing, not tug-of-war. Why do we need so much power?
I raised my hand and slapped Chujiu on the forehead. Although what he said was right, the tone of his words made me feel uncomfortable.
"Guo Guo, why did you hit me again?"
"Because everything you said is right."
"If you say something right, you will be beaten? If you say something wrong, you will also be beaten? Guoguo, you just want to hit me on purpose, right?"
Chujiu curled his lips and drooped his face, casually downshifted a gear, and the speed of the car began to increase.
I was dumbfounded as I watched, how could it be like this? Chujiu gave me a blank look, ignorant.
It turned out that our car had been following the jeep, with a difference of less than ten meters. No matter whether the car in front was speeding up or slowing down, Chujiu could always control the speed and maintain this distance.
In Chujiu's words, the journey was too boring, and since I, an idiot who can't drive, he was even more bored.
At this time, someone comes to your door to give me some fun. It's something I want, so I play with him.
It can be seen that the young man in the jeep must have some money and influence in his family in the local area, otherwise he would not be so arrogant that he calls himself the car god on this road.
"By the way, Chujiu, which mountain is the Qiu Ming Mountain he just mentioned? Have we been there?"
Chujiu almost burst into laughter because he failed to control the speed of the car during a sharp turn.
I felt like the car was leaning almost 45 degrees on the curve, and it looked like it was going to roll over at any time.
When Chujiu explained Qiu Mingshan to me, I laughed awkwardly for a long time.
It turns out that Mount Akina is a double volcano in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It is especially famous for its four thrilling and steep five-turn hairpin turns. The five-turn hairpin turns are also an important racing track in the comic "Initial D".
Akina Mountain can be said to be Japan's "nine twists and turns". The risk of drifting when driving on five consecutive hairpin turns is very high.
When a car passes through five consecutive hairpin turns, it must be a sharp turn, followed by a straight, which requires constant acceleration and deceleration, and the drift is much larger than other sections. This is where many racers go to challenge
