[W126 Coupe] got busted at 135 MPH

[Richard Giampietro]

I have to disagree with you Mike.  I've taken the direct approach many times 
and it works.  Once I passed a Massachusetts State Trooper at 1:20 in the 
morning, not exactly in my right mind either. He was doing 80 or so and me 
140 or so. We were the only two cars on the road for miles...I immediately 
pulled to the side knowing I was heading towards a barracks, and that I 
can't out run a Motorola radio. When he came up to my window and said "You 
passed me like I was standing still" I repled "Well this is the car to do it 
with" and long story short, not even a warning. The story is even more 
interesting but I'll save the rest for our summer meet.  RG
