I thought the 120 (ish) mph limit was a function of the MG being redlined at that speed. IF I'm remebering correctly, then they would not be able to remove that speed limit. |

Just pray that the trooper is a hypermiler. This way if he has to chase you he wont accelerate too quickly and he'll set the car to cruise control http://www3.b92.net/ipb_images/style...ult/tongue.gif
One thing about Hawaii though -- the cop eventually wins because there is no where to go. No need for high speed persuit. The California TV statons are not gonna like this! |

Maybe he'll get ticketed for driving 40 MPH on a 65 MPH road? |

Re: Blue & White TCH on patrol
believe it or not, I actually witnessed such a chase few years ago. I was somewhere in South East, NC or VA not sure now, in some small town eating breakfast at McDonald around 7 am when I saw this car going maybe 40 MPH, being chased by 2 police cars. It was really weird, the person being chased even put signal lights when making turn at intersection. About 5 min later they came back, going opposite way, guy up front with 2 police cars chasing him behind with lights flashing, but moving slooow. It was so unreal, like watching slow motion video. If I had to make a guess I think the person must have been on some drugs where his perception of speed was highly impaired and cops didn't want to turn it into bloody mess by being more aggressive, especially in the middle of town.

Re: Blue & White TCH on patrol
Maybe this is why that famous white Ford Bronco was going so slowly back in '91. It was actually an early prototype they were testing for maximum MPG?
