Fun fact
the limiters on lorries are electric. In the old days before computer management, diesels would run without the key in the ignition. So, lorry drivers would get up to speed, take out the key and carry on accelerating.

Wow.
And who said Lorry Drivers were a bunch of stupid cunts.

Not me!
You'd actually need to be pretty clever to be the first guy to figure out that'd work. Well, clever in the sense that you'd need to understand how a diesel engine works, anyway. So about as clever as the average mechanic.

Eh, never mind.
