Sounds like it was probably good for both of them . . . ;-))

" I saw Arneson's 275GTB/4 RAPE an E-Type one night on that road."

Interesting...would love to have been there to hear that take place!

"He then closed the cap, and took off across 
the Richmond bridge, which started right outside his office.

Walter was/is a maniac.   Great guy, but a maniac.   He wanted to see how 
fast it would go, and the bridge is a great place because there's no place 
for cops to hide.   Traffic was light so he just ran it up to redline in 5th

gear.  "


Bwahahaha - the little black and white buddies will hide at the toll booth
to wait for a suspect.

Cliff notes from court:  "I observed the defendant leave the toll plaza and
accelerate.  I limited my pursuit speed to 110mph.  When I topped the crest
(about 1/2 way across) the defendant was no longer on the bridge.  I called
for backup."

Defendant: " He wrote me for 125 in a 55 zone . . . I was going WAY faster
than that, but there was no other traffic!  When I came off the bridge and
saw the patrol cars waiting for me ahead with lights flashing, I knew I was
hosed."

After one gets off the bridge, there is still a good, straight, wind-free,
smooth two miles into San Rafael.  I saw Arneson's 275GTB/4 RAPE an E-Type
one night on that road.

Anyway, the little black and white buddies have some kind of cloaking device
and one NEVER knows where they will be sitting, waiting, sharpening their
little claws.

The defendant had US Navy legal counsel with him in court and barely escaped
incarceration.  That judge was, how you say?, upset.

Oh, and if a CHP officer asks you to leave with his hand on his service
revolver . . . .don't argue.


Uh, that's the way I heard it . . . .
