Fascinating read, indeed.

I liked this:

"The only way Roy and his copilot can even hope to average 90 mph is to plan (Roy has, fanatically), pray (a friend petitioned a Taoist spiritual master for them), and, wherever possible, stomp the throttle (they are)"

Of course it had to be a Taoist! "You have much to learn, grasshopper, may cops be scarce along your path". Local vicar would just give them a b0ll0xing and sick da polis on them :)

I hope he gets to live to see his dream fulfilled without casualties and leaves speeding alone from then on :)

Is it just me, or does averaging 90mph just sound like a drive down to london?

I could think of much cooler things to do than spend ages planning it...

like JUST GO DO IT

and get the tickets if you fail- still gonna be cool :cool:
