It was because it was such a long trip that I did not
push the car's limits...
a) I did not want to break down in the middle of
nowhere.
b) I did not want to raise the ire of some local cop
with a hankerin' for some arrestin'.
c) the weather not exactly co-operative.
In defense of what some may call irresponsible speed,
however, I would mention that these speeds were only
achieved on open stretches of road with very light
traffic. Also, the Imperial underwent MY pre-trip
check, which includes not only a vital fluids check,
but also a full systems check, and a wheels-off
inspection.
I'm glad many people have enjoyed reading my accounts,
and I wish that "you shall wander far in safety,
though you do not know the way".
