Two things:

1. Sod?
2. Full “pelt”?

Sounds British or something.

But, beyond that I don’t understand the point of this post.

Yes, I am a Brit.

With all the news from Toyota mishaps recently, I wondered whether anyone had any interesting stories related to the title...

sorry you didn't get the point. Philip

PS. I'm not sure of the origins of sod, except with the phrase Sod's law.

Full pelt meant at high speed, but has its origins in medieval cavalry.

There’s a ‘sodoff’ FR keyword.
First time I heard the term was in the phrase ‘Sod off, swampy.’ from http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1344874/posts
