I served at an Unit in Toronto, I was the CO driver and gopher when required and not doing my normal full time dutes on callout.
I was always off and running on the weekends, and weekdays taking various officers to meetings.
Anyways I had to take the Ajt to a meeting in Meaford to do with the planning of the Amour Comp, we started out in one of the CJ5 series jeeps, but it had serious problems, exhaust leaking up inside the pass. area and loss of power on the way up the 400, we nursed the sick jeep back to the armouries and took the COs Ilitis . I told the AJt I would drive as he was not suppose to read hiis notes onthe way, I was not suppose to drive the cj because I was cleaned on it ( was later ) .
the adjt was reading his notes and i was crusing along the 400 trying to make up time that we lost nursing that sick and wounded CJ. I was speeding down the hiway and and the adjt looked over at me and the remarked that he did not know an itlis could go so fast and I looked at him and said but SIR I slowed down for that construction site. i had the iltis running down the 400 at just over 96 miles ahour. The adjt told if i got pulled over for speeding he was going to show me how deep he could blade me, he would confess to the cop that he was sleeping and the driver was out of control, that i deserved all tickets he could write me up for. On the way home he told me not to exceed 60 miles per hour under any reason. He did not want to tell his wife he crashed on the way home because I was speeding.
I held various speed records in the CO's Iltis but the RSM was always telling me to engage and drive faster.
That was the life in the fast lane. The adjt is now a major I hear within the unit, the rsm is retiired along with the former CO I drove for.
