30 light

[Peter Roberts]

My score so far is one of them. Because Joe Curto did such a great job on my carb rebuild, the slow run returns with vigor! _Peter

I, too, have seen the 30 light work, and I remember it well - it was on top of a squad car in a 20 zone. John S.

group, has anyone ever actually been stoped for speeding in one of these cars? what an ego boost. if i did i think that i would just have to get my picture taken with the officer. 1250 miles to florida and back, and the only vehicle i passed was a combine. cheers, charlie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yeah, I did once. Officer told judge I was driving 'fast on a twisty road' (image that!). NOT ON INTERSTATE. Then he said I turned onto a hill and went up at 60. I told the Judge the car only has 50 horsepower, won't outrun a VW beetle, it won't DO 60 up that hill, even with a running start. Since that is the only place the officer defined my speed in numbers (twisty part was just 'fast') [took that as a credit to my Stirling Moss imitation, remember him?] Judge gave officer an evil look, dismissed case.

G'day Charlie, Yes, I'm proud to say... Got pulled over doing over 95kph (so the man said)in a 70 zone. He was pretty much a grumpy example of the law as he pulled out his book. I asked him if he'd be kind enough to write the estimated speed in BIG letters so I could show my local MG clubmembers what the Tickford could do with her skirts up. He laughed and told me to bugger-off, with a warning! Nice bloke after all.

Well.................! Got me to wondering about the date. So, here I am looking at it. South Carolina State Highway Patrol "WARNING" Warning Number: J 044999 Date: Feb 13, 1998 Offensive Code: 21 (Too fast for condition or speeding Nature of Violation: Speeding - 79 MPH I framed that one and its hanging in my living room next to the picture of me and my TC. Once I was stopped on the Frontage Road alongside Highway 85 in Greenville, SC we got to talking (The deputy and I). Next thing I knew there were four of them all interested in seeing for themselves my car. I certainly did the best my sweet talking that day! Showed them the engine, the 30 Light switch and what it does. Acting totally amazed as I had just rebuilt the Carbs and just testing the car to see what she would do. All that wearing, yep! Brown Leather Jacket, Scarf, Gloves, Leather flying Helmet and Goggles. I certainly was a nostalgic sight! At least that was what the arresting officer said. He just had to stop me! Well, at least it was a ticket! This was just around the corner from my house! Three hours late I arrived home to a concerned wife who thought I had broken down! But, someday when I finish my book you can hear the whole story. Bruce TC#2721 XPAG#3355
