MG or Bugatti?
[edit]"On one occasion in 1947, he was transporting his MG R-type to the Brighton Speed Trials, when going down a hill near Guildford, he "saw the splendid honeycomb radiator of a Bugatti in the outside rear-view mirror", so he moved over and waved it past, but the car hung back. Further down the hill, the Bugatti accelerated and drew level with Hamilton, at which point he saw there was no one in it: "The awful truth dawned on me – it was my own car, gathering speed fast." Hamilton had forgotten he was towing the Bugatti, and the story ends with a lamppost snapped in two."
This doesn't make any sense unless he was towing his Bugatti behind his MG, in which case he was driving the MG and transporting the Bugatti. As written it sounds like he sets out towing an MG which transforms into a Bugatti.
