Lotus CEO, Marc Gales was recently given a speeding ticket. His defense was pretty interesting:

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Whoops, my record speed for the A11 near there is 140mph in a Golf R32.

Honest officer I was just checking that the wheels were properly balanced, and the dynamic tester only went up to the equivalent of 100mph.

4129 .. so did you get stopped for that and got away with it.
Mine was 125mph on the A12 getting pulled in a cavalier Sri (shows how long ago that was). They could only average speed check then, fewww.  But the coppers were really good about it and were quite respectful.  Don’t think that would happen now.

Empty dual carriageway, slightly downhill.

I have yet to see any police on that section of road.

Fingers crossed.
