The recent thread about speeding and the continuing popularity of the Z3
is further amplified by the following article in today's Washington Post
(8/3/96), Style section, "Names & Faces" column:
SMOOTH OPERATOR
The name's Bond ... Actor Pierce Brosnan has used that 007 charm on -- no,
not the women -- but the cops in Idaho, where he has been filming a movie
for the past four months. Brosnan, seen zooming around in the same BMW Z3
convertible he used in "Goldeneye," has been pulled over four times, but
it appears he's gotten off without a ticket every time.
"They got me good but treated me well," says Brosnan. Very well -- most
local police won't admit to letting the star off easy. "I know of some
occasions that [it looked as though] he was exceeding the speed limit,"
Shoshone County Lt. Spike Angle said, "but I had no radar where I was."
Besides, "it would be hard to hold back," Angle joked. "That car's
sweet."
