I just remembered, doing 100mph is a century AND it's a ton...
I remember going down the motorway (theres another one - interstate)
with my dad in his old jag to London, and he turns and asks me if we
should try and do a 'ton up'. Of course I agreed, I was only about 8,
and I would never do anything like that today ;)
I think there was a 'ton up' club that you 'had' to join if you were in
a Mod gang...would you believe they did their 'ton ups' on souped up Vespas, the
chosen vehicle of choice for 'Mods'.
