Didn't know there was a video for that song, good stuff. If I had a 512 I don't think I could drive 55 either....

Sammy becamse so famous with CHP after that video, that they started pulling him over for autographs and left him alone for speeding. He talks a lot about it in his book.

Sammy's mechanic is the guy with the accent at the beginning of the video, Claudio Zampolli. I think he's been doing his own builds for a while and no longer runs a repair shop for Italian cars. IIRC, most of Sammy's cars are serviced at the Mill Valley dealer these days.
