Many years ago I had one of the original Audi Quattro Turbos - but this one had been fitted with the souped-up sport engine developed for the shortened rally version so was pretty speedy. I was on the M40 heading for good ol' Londinium in the fast lane overtaking a line of cars in the middle lane. They were doing about 90, I was doing about 105 - this was back before speed cameras and before the police were so picky about your speed.

Behind me, an AMG Mercedes zoomed up, flashing his lights wanting me to somehow get out of his way even though I still had quite a line of slower cars to pass. When he got to only a couple of feet behind me and honked his horn I'd had enough. I put my foot down and pulled away up to 125 and faster. He stuck with me, still flashing his lights. I took it all the way up to 145 before I started to leave him behind and then up to 155 just to prove the point. At this point the road went up a long rise and I thought to myself, "If I were a policeman where would I position myself to pick off speeders?" Hmmm... just over the crest of the hill ahead? I moved into the now clear middle lane and slowed down. The Mercedes flew past with a honk of triumph cresting the hill probably still doing 140+. When I crested the hill, doing a very reasonable 95 I saw the V12 Supercharged Jaguar Police chase car roaring after the Mercedes with blue lights a'flashin' and a touch of siren!

A mile or so further along I passed them pulled over at the side of the road with the policeman clearly taking away his licence (for the foreseeable future). I smiled all the way to the big city!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
