What prevents the perp from having his own RF gun? Are the cops going to be driving 1960 Pontiacs? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp They should be so lucky! In 60, Pontiac was building a race rep, and a friend of mine bought a 3/4 race special factory package Bonneville. It may have been heavy, and the front hood looked like the horizon, but you could chirp the tires at 80 MPH going into 4th! IIRC, also about 6 MPG. It would make one fantastic freeway cruiser. The trunks of those puppies were the other half of the horizon. A kW mobile rig in the trunk? No sweat! And with room left over for the suitcases. Then along came the Chrysler 300s. The PA State Police bought a flock of "Police Special" 300s which they used to nail those big GM and Mopar cruisers. The 300s surfed the PA Turnpike at 130-140 mph "CCS". I was riding on the TPK in the sedate 1953 six-banger family Pontiac, didn't see trooper coming, then *Whooosh!*, his pressure wave almost blew us out of the lane. w3rv Ed wb6wsn |
