That's what I thought. 200mph my foot. Everyone knows 195mph is
enough. A classmate of mine in coll'age had landing lights from I
don't know what sort of aircraft on his MGB. Since that sucker barely
ran 65mph with shaking itself apart, it must have always driven in
130+mph all the time because it's never had it's landing lights blow up.
