Top tip for speedersā€¦ when youā€™re up in front of the beak for putting your foot down a bit too hard, tell him you were, literally, shitting yourself at the time.

If Iā€™m honest, I canā€™t help but wonder if the magistrate would have been quite so compliant if it had been Fred Smith up on charges. šŸ¤” ---

MG Centenary at the British Motor Museum today. We didnā€™t have much time there as I had to do a ship before we could head to Warwick, but the couple of hours we did have were very enjoyable. ![IMG20230527153930](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/8/3/83d68dd874dad282ea3a120f7ddb41c5d99929d7.jpeg) ![IMG20230527153117](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/4/b/4be35ecc255970eba101f9ba0e3341438e48ff52.jpeg) ![IMG20230527153101](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/4/d/4d0905a836ce85544e3f9b917971928e2d5a7cfd.jpeg) ![IMG20230527150748](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/7/4/74a012455ce0c29714157c14a3b360dc3078daa2.jpeg) ![IMG20230527150247](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/7/6/764028fef51b2172e8feca27a65656f9cc269397.jpeg) ---
