I don't think so, since last time I heard, speeding wasn't a Federal offense. Nice to have the Judge as our newest member, though.

I don't think speeding in a TC will be enough for you to be invited to visit the Judge in the US District Court.

I had better watch it though. I'm planning on visiting the Mog South meet there this fall. In my Morgan though.

Forwarding this email from Ken Porter - one of the earliest members

I sold my TC. I haven't driven for the past two years due to a
hereditary health problem, so it was time to pass the car on to someone
who would both enjoy and take care of it. The car is going to a couple that are long time MG enthusiasts. They know about the TABC group and I am sure they will join. Apropos to the recent discussion of what a TC is worth, I got
$28,000.
