You can speed in a Jag without getting a ticket anyway, because the cowardly cop cars only do 260 km/h. You just have to buy a Jag that does 300 km/h.

Preston, Esq. on February 20, 2011, 05:09:02 PMMy last name is unique and I am related to everyone who has it.My last name isn't really unique, but I'm related to most people in this county who bear it, and it's a county with 1.5 million people. In whole Sweden there were 14 people with my name the last time I checked, but some spell it differently. My first name is spelt like in English, though I'd guess at least half of the Swedes who bear it spell it differently. In the 70's, when I was born, international names and international spelling was popular. Now they name kids like old geezers and little ladies were named when I was a kid, like Gustav, Tilda, etc.
My last name is unique and I am related to everyone who has it.

With both my first names I'm unique in Sweden, maybe on the whole Earth.

As long as you don't say "that's radical", you might fly under the radar!
If you compare these maps of all my names, you see that it's highly unlikely that someone in Germany bears exactly the same name.
