I loved the part where the headlamp washer comes on. I saved it to my disk so I can watch it whenever I want. I need something to pass the time until I can own one of my own. Tanx a lot for the post.

rik: the video was absolutely everything you said it would be, and well worth the time it took to download. too bad you had to edit it down so much. the full 500 meg version must be totally outrageous! are you still thinking of putting it on vhs? totally good show! /cfmelick

Glad you Liked it! VHS is still a go if you want. NTSC only (sorry PAL & SECAM people! I have no converter... If you are willing there is someone who will do it for 30 USD)<br>Rik

I think that both of you make good points, in your own interesting ways. Kurt is correct, as it sounds like a TT owner is driving like an absolute moron, endangering others, and potentially putting him in hot water due to mistaken identity.

I can very much relate to GO TT's comments, as I sent CHP an e-mail on this exact topic. I had heard on the TV that the CHP was conducting an extensive crackdown with planes, radar, extra units, unmarked cars and so on to crackdown on "reckless" drivers who speed, weave in and out of traffic and so forth.

It is my belief that the speeders are less of a problem than the drivers who refuse to yield the fast lane even though it's very apparent that motorists behind them want to go faster than they do. The frustration of the obstructed drivers is bound to build, and unquestionably a number of them will try to find a route around the inconsiderate obstructor.

I wish that some of those CHP aircraft would spend some time focusing on the drivers who refuse to yield, which I personally believe is far more of a problem than the speeders.

P.S. The CHP did not respond to my e-mail.
