we wouldnt know from experience would we? is there an explanation to this statement?
I've only told the story once here in the Others forum. I'll reiterate somewhat, but it doesn't need to go around mainstream NICO.
I was on the way to a BMW Club event at Putnam Park in April of '04, right after the V's first came out. I was merging onto the beltway around Indy and the onramp is wide and sweeping. Having 400hp at my disposal and six forward gears, you just imagine how I went through that onramp. The car just wanted to go faster and who was I to argue. I have no idea where the cop came from, but I didn't see him until I was well down the road, indeed almost to the next exit.
I saw him WAY back in the rearview and saw that the next exit was a mile away. I had to make a decision quickly and I did. I dropped it down to third and nailed that *****. I was in the left lane of three and the right two had traffic obscuring the cop's view. I hit the offramp deep in the triple digits but I don't know how fast I was going. Long story short, I didn't get caught. I don't recommend trying the same thing at home.
All while listening to friggin' Andrew WK...
