Embarrasing Moment

[jpskiller]

Coming home tonight from visiting a friend in Pontifract I was crusing down the M62 keeping within the speed limit or there about's.

I had just moved into middle lane to overtake so I was doing around 80ish when a ROBIN RELIANT came flying down the outside lane to over take me and did +

You were probably unwittingly being filmed on Top Gear

In my own defence I was carring small children so did not want to pursue the raving MAD MAN

I know that they are very good, just winding things up a little

Years and years and years ago I was driving a Morris 1000 estate (with wood panels) with three other big burly blokes on-board and suffice it to say we were travelling quite fast south along the M5 going down the hill to-wards Bristol. As we overtook a Jaguar..... (who was just about breaking the speed limit) the wing mirror of our Morris 1000 flew off. The expression on the face of the Jaguar driver was a real classic, a Morris 1000 with the needle of the speedo jammed against the stop and four ugly, big ruffy tuffy blokes hurtling by a big Jaguar was a real put down, mind you the poor Moggy struggled on the uphill gradients, but that Jaguar was history.

This was the sort of vehicle, but this illustration has two wing mirrors Our nearside mirror broke off and the offside one twisted round to become more aerodynamically efficient Cross ply tyres, cables brakes.

Happy days.

That was the moggy John where the front wheels would go out sideways when the bottom swivels wore out

The thing I enjoyed most was nip[ping along at a tidy speed, then switching off the ignition and switching it back on again I doubt it did the exhaust system much good but the bang was impressive! Oh the joyus of yuff!

Cable drum brakes were slightly better than anchors, but I think the footwell was strengthened to prevent me from putting my foot through it.

Never did get 219mph out of it though (joke)
