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.
