nice one Punck.

I have a mate who got stopped by Thames Valley Police. They alleged he was doing 97mph. In a 1981 Ford Escort Estate 1.1 L. The Police refused to proceed as they truly believed that the car would not be capable of that speed.

Personally I think he deserved two medals. One for getting it up to that speed (which must've taken days) and another for owning the bloody thing in the first place!

How times have changed. WIth VASCAR, Truvelo, LIDAR 2020 etc we have now there's no room for discussion or dispute.
