Once, as a lad, I was visiting Italy.  A fellow was giving me a ride in a 
Guila spider 1300, I think.  Brisk.  A cop on a motorbike appeared behind us. 
 The driver's reaction was to speed up.  This confused me, but the driver 
explained: they must hand you the ticket.  The whole experience was so 
thrilling that I have been into Alfas ever since.
