Your friend's opinion is not widely shared (though that may not make it any the less valid).

He had a lot of stories about zooming around England in one. Apparently, at the time, there were places where one could really make a car fly, without too much intrest from the police.

And then there were a couple of high-profile crashes, plus the famed Jaguar 190MPH road test, and the Powers That Be took a Ford Anglia, decided it went a bit wobbly and scary at 70MPH, and said "Behold! The Speed Limit!". And so I get to drive on the motorway in my 1999 car (that's made by Germans for the Autobahn, and is somewhat better than a 1965 Ford Anglia) at a frankly ludicrous 70MPH. Well, that's the official line, anyway. Repeat after me: "I always drive to the posted speed limit, oh yes indeed".

Post #222,876 by CRConrad 9/5/05 8:01:20 AM Reply	You didn't? Well, FYI that opinion WAS widely shared back... ...in the day, when David Brown -- originally a tractor manufacturer, you know -- owned the company. Quite the classic very fast lorry. (And a classic quip, too, actually. I'm surprised you hadn't heard it.) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.) Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]
