Good job, Zen!
I have story too...actually it is Linda's story, but it was my fault that she got the ticket.
I had replaced the slipping clutch in Molly, our '71 Fastback a few years ago. On the initial test drive, with Linda at the wheel, we just had to test out the new clutch. On East Brainerd Road, around about the stretch of road where the new Apison Elementary School is now located, I told Linda to give it all she could to see the difference in the new clutch from the old one. Just as she did, high beams flashed at us from the side of the road. Yep, Mr. Policeman was sitting in someone's driveway and caught us dead to rights. She got a ticket for 69mph in a 45mph zone. With the smell of doughnuts still on his breath, he informed us that he had clocked her at over 75mph, but was going to "let us off easy, this time.
Only one good thing came out of this experience...we were able to notice that the clutchwork had greatly improved.
