DeTomaso Mailing List: April 98, Message #223

Interesting story....

After visiting your (memorial) site I noticed that you modified
your speedo face...added a number or two....looks good.

Could you just buy the 300KPH gauge and modify/adjust the drive gear ?
After all,  you need "room to grow" big boy !

	Where's D-Mann? Well...

	First off, there's nothing like wading thru tons of posts!  
	It's been almost 4 hours, and I've held my tongue so far...

	Ok people, you are not going to believe this.  But...

	It seems the local police didn't approve of my speed!  I was 
	going about 190 when I saw a car coming in front of me, I 
	was still going around 130 when I passed and yes, it was 
	a cop car!  By the time he swung around and pulled me 
	over 3 more patrol cars showed up!  Well seems they didn't 
	approve of my speed.  They didn't say much, just handcuffed 
	and hauled me off to jail! 

	I saw the judge Tuesday and for some reason she didn't like 
	my attitude.  And stuck me in jail for 10 days plus the 2 days 
	already served.  She said this ought to slow me down.  Not 
	to mention a long list of violations on the Pantera.

	No front plate
	Tinted windows
	Headlight height
	Front bumper height
	No wipers
	Not street tires
	Noise level

	I think someone tipped them off!  There was too many there and 
	too quick.  I'm sure it's someone from this list, and you know 
	who you are bastard!  

	I get my car out of impound tomorrow.  I'm not done trying to go 
	220 but I'm not telling anyone when or where but it'll be this
weekend 
	sometime.  I'm going still going to get a fast run in even if it
kills me!   

	Which brings me to another thing!  CURT!  You a-hole!  Oh very
funny, 
	maybe I would have thought it was funnier if I read it on April 1st.
Can I 
	post it on my web site though?  Mom didn't think it was so funny,
you 
	know killing her and all.  Thrown sandwiches! hehehe.
	 
	Ok, so Sunday evening  I'll post what speed I got up to, the sucker
was 
	still pulling strong at 190!!!  If you don't see a post Sunday
night, I'm 
	either in jail again, or dead.  I'm going to make sure neither
happens this 
	time.  Man, you wouldn't think it would be so hard to drive so fast!


	Moon man, where's my get out of jail free card?
