A tribute to my S Type.

I was first at a set of traffic lights on red.

The lights changed and I started across the junction, only to see a car coming towards me at high speed from my left with no chance or intention of stopping for the junction.

There was a Police car behind the approaching vehicle, clearly in pursuit and I was in prime position to be "T-Boned".

I pushed the throttle hard and she answered admirably, with kick in the back acceleration, clearing the junction with a fraction of a second to spare.

That was quite as close as I ever want to be to such a situation.

I've been T-Boned before, in my first Rover 75, and that was at relatively low speed. This wouldn't have ended happily at the speed the other car was travelling.

Glad to hear you're ok Paul.

Phew.

Crikey! Scary!

Wonder if we'll see this on "Police! Camera! Action!"?

And if they caught him, if he'll end up in front of you in court?!

I doubt he will have out run the Police car that was on his tail chaps so maybe I will see him in Court in the not too distant future. I suppose I'll have to recuse myself from the case as I'd probably be considered prone to bias against some twonk who just almost killed me AND, even worse, nearly damaged my car

So you become a witness.

Not really Paul. I was in so much of a hurry to get out of the way, I couldn't even tell you what colour the car was.

Glad you are both ok Paul, and obviously got quick reactions too by the sounds of it

wow luck clealy was on your side

Good to hear that you've been able to escape.

Isn't the title the name of a song?
