So Saturday night in Bako after smellin nitro all day and havin 3 stiff drinks and steak at KC's for dinner, we decide to drive the roadster on over to Squeek's.

Well, I don't live in Bako and I've been to Squeek's b4, but for some reason I'm heading down the freeway doin 80 havin a blast but can't find the damb Beale offramp. We turnaround go back down the freeway now drivin 90 like a bat-out-a-hell and what ya know there's the offramp.

So we get off, squell the tires at the stoplight, pull into Squeeks... and go inside to get a beer with some friends.

Well, I'm lookin out the window and this police officer pulls up. He starts askin "who owns the primered roadster, I wanna talk to him" Oh man I'm shittin bricks... The officer followed us... My friends tell him they have NO idea who owns that ol' primered roadster...

He then gets outa his car, grabs his club and walks over to my car and says... That idiot roadster driver sure has some balls, I clocked him doin 110 on the freeway, I was gonna nail the guy...but now that I see this roadster only has an old flathead in it...I must have the wrong car...anyhow this sure is a nice roadster...is there another primered roadster here with a big V8? They answer back..oh ya he pulled in and left...ok have a good evening gentlemen.

Wow, I knew my speedo was off but Holy shit...I almost got it...it sure is a good thing that flatheads don't run 110 ?!?! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Obviously that cop doesn't know his Hot Rod history. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

As they say in the classics... "It's OK if you don't get caught!"

Cool story.

HA HA HA ,Oh shit, that's a good story . Unforunately my flathead would fit the bill and top out at 65-70 mph http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

He's telling the truth, I was ridding shotgun and when I saw the man drive in I hid at the back of Rich Reeds 32-5wind and hoped no one would rat us out.I can hear it now from my wife you did what.--TV

Like I said on the road to Hanford, you were doing 80+ and pulling away from me on my motorcycle!

TV - So that's your son's car? I love the wide fives. Those wheels are overlooked for no good reason. And the chrome looks rad.

I got the trans back yesterday. Thanks again for all of the help with getting everything sorted out. Check your email later today if you get a chance.

HotrodVon - That story rules.
