So, last evening I'm driving the Tiger down Foothill Expressway, minding my
speed at 45 mph seeing how the Los Altos police department sprung for 2
motor cycles and the new cops to go with them to better enforce the speed
limits in town.  Looking in my rear view mirror I see a beige 1965 vintage
Mercedes SL 2-seat roadster coming up behind me pretty fast.  I'm thinking
this could be fun. 

He pulls out into the left lane like he's going to pass me.  I hang in there
at 45 and he goes by me.  As he goes by, the exhaust note of  his car is
pure magic.  Gotta be a V-8 loafing along in 5th gear.  As he pulls past me
the license plate reads "302 SL".  I pull up along side him at the next
light and the car sounds like it has a 2 1/2 inch exhaust system on it with
Flowmasters, and a nice cam.  What a sleeper.  He turned left towards Mt.
View and I went straight.  Kit car or conversion?
