Capturing the Thrill of a Daring Feat: Stunt Driver Mick Stirrups Shatters British Record in Jaw-Dropping Zephyr Car Jump". In this print by Arthur Sidey, we witness an adrenaline-fueled moment frozen in time. It was the 28th of May, 1978, at the iconic Thanet Raceway in Kent when stunt driver Mick Stirrups fearlessly defied gravity and shattered records with his death-defying feat. With nerves of steel and a Ford Zephyr as his trusty steed, Stirrups launched himself off a ramp, soaring through the air like a daredevil bird. The crowd held their breaths as he cleared not one or two but an astounding nineteen cars stacked up beneath him. Gasps turned into cheers as he landed atop several vehicles before expertly skidding on just two wheels to bring his heart-stopping performance to an unharmed finish. This remarkable display of skill and precision earned Stirrups a place in history books as he broke the British record for car jumps that day. The photograph captures both the raw power unleashed by man and machine and the sheer entertainment value that such daring stunts provide. Arthur Sidey's lens immortalizes this unforgettable moment from our past - an era where courage knew no bounds and limits were meant to be pushed. This print stands as a testament to human audacity while reminding us all that sometimes it takes risking everything to achieve greatness.
