The Jag story for example was from about 1977, we had been to Faslane for a holiday with friends Bob and Kaye. The car was running so well and almost home, instead of turning off at Markham Moor island and going home through Lincoln we decided to keep on the A1 and turn at Newark.
It was an excellent stretch of road, all dual carriageway, on through Tuxford and down to Newark by Sutton on Trent and Cromwell. The whole of that memorable journey, that old car cruised at 125mph. It could have been a Sunday evening and we were both due for work on the Monday. The road was empty, hardly anything in either direction for the whole distance.
It was during the time when speed limits had been introduced because of the oil crisis as prices were rising and inflation had arrived, never to go away!
We had done our bit all the way from Glasgow, so for 20 miles or so we let her have a burn up!
