In my opinion, you all have a HUGE amount of spunk (American slang for
"willingness to be adventurous", I guess) to even contemplate a trip like
this


Interesting I nearly wet myself laughing about the terminology. "Spunk" is
English slang for semen. Guess you can see why it sound funny. Saying
someone is spunky is an obscenity.

I was thinking the two gents have brass balls to contemplate that trip
in a rented C172, which is related to your UK meaning of spunk.
