Steven,
I think it was "all of the above" for you. Considering the dirt balls and
other grief that the cops have to put up with these days, this guy probably
enjoyed a more sane moment and probably learned a little about a car he
doesn't often see on the road.
Now, I do recall back around the fall of 1969 when I did not come to a
complete stop at a stop sign in my new Jasmine TR6 at 1am in the middle of
nowhere with visibility at least 3 miles in all directions, an officer who
appeared from thin air stopped me and was downright unfriendly and did not
appear to be impressed with the turtle wax shine, my mellow exhaust
note.....so I grumbled a little and paid my fine....coulda been that "America
- Love it or Leave it" bumper sticker on his patrol car or the "get our
troops out of viet nam material on my seat"....hmmmm....
cheers,
Chip Krout
