Andre Jute Great Lie From The Past - 24 May

The Sunday Edition. No comment necessary.

"the fastest GT cars of the mid-1960s to mid-1970s were....Australian, the Ford
GTO and Holden Monaro GTS, which were like American muscle cars with
added roadholding and less wasted bulk. I routinely set ton-up averages
between Adelaide and Darwin, and Adelaide and Melbourne, in those, and
I wasn't the only one."

"... the cops didn't try to
stop me; far from it. I would stop at the first cop car I saw whether
they chased me or not and, if they didn't recognize me as the guy who
taught them pursuit driving (I was sentenced to do this by a magistrate
with a cruel sense of humour -- it is a version of what Americans call
community service), I would wait until they radioed ahead to other cops
to identify me, and then ask them to telephone and radio ahead to have
the trucks held on the infrequent but very, very dangerous crossroads
so that I wasn't delayed."

I wonder what the unit rate was - furlongs per fortnight?
