DeTomaso Mailing List: October 99, Message #196

Charles,
I have noticed that the CHP is now using radar at night on many roads in Ca. 
If you make that run often I hope you have a valentine fore and aft 
detector. <smile>
I make the 280 drive at least 2 times a week in my driver car. For some 
reason I can't figure out, between Woodside and the Foothill turn off, there 
seems to be a few porsche guys/gals who love to test their cars out (read 
not let anyone pass them...).   Always seem to run into them when I am in 
one of my reg. cars,on the way home after a long day at work. So if you 
happen to be driving that road late at night and see a porshe out there, you 
are forwarded. 280 does have some woop-dee-dos in the road so I would 
becareful of going too fast. On the up-hill straight just after the half 
moon bay/92 turn off, going south, stay in the right lanes because the # 1 
and 2 lanes have a roller coaster effect going up the hill.
