I try to avoid Biddeford when I'm in my car. The cops are pricks over there. I talk to a guy who use to be a cop over there and he said he remembered my car and kept an eye out for me just waiting for me to screw up. He really wanted to nail me in part because of my license plate. He even says the cops over there have gotten worse since he left the force a few years ago.
The car only comes out on occasion during the summer months. Right now its on jack stands while I replace the stock brakes with some Baer disc brakes all the way around.

Yeah that hissing noise mentioned above is what gives me all that power. Actually it used to be a loud shrill shrieking noise when I hit 10psi. Its quieter now and thats the way I like it.

My wife got two tickets within a month.....IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD! Same cop. I've had hot rods of some form or another for quite a while now and I'm clean so far. The road I work on is basically unpatroled so when I'm in the mood that's where I go.
I think BPD has a couple of guys who are targeted traffic enforcement. That's all they do and there are no breaks.

On an unrelated note, I think my company supplies tires for your employer's trucks.

When I had the LM1's on I had to do hill starts a few times in front of LEO's, that always made me a bit nervous. They never did bother me though.

I guess my age shows on the highway, I usually only drive 5 over limit so Staties never bother with me.

We do from Chelmsford all the way to P.I., I have spoken to Bob in the Wells garage dozens of times over the years. Small world.

I hope to see your car out this summer, sounds like quite a ride.

I was running Magnapack mufflers w/ an O/R H pipe and it was insanely loud but I never got pulled over for it but I was not stupid going through towns either. I switched to an X pipe w/ cats and it sounds much better and its much more quiet then before but its still pretty loud

Bullit

Yeah its a fun car. Need to work on my tune so I can get back to Epping for the first time in a couple of years. I want to see what some bigger tires will also do for my ET. I'm going to shoe horn some 315s in the back.

Bryan if you want you can use my MT Drag radials for some better traction. I think I'll mount those on some V6 rims if the clear the brakes and I'll be putting the slicks on my weld rims

I might have seen his car. There was a SN-95 at an RV place in Saco with a FS sign in it last year. I think it was Mystichrome paint, definately had lambo doors.

Big envious sigh for the GT-500 purchase. That's my "someday" car.

I work in Scarborough near Cabellas. But I travel quite a bit during the day so I don't bring the Bullitt to work much during the three weeks of summer we get up here.
