Default Williams "High Speed" pinball (1986) / 928 connection

http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?1176

Steve Ritchie (the designer of "High Speed") has said: "It was based on a true story. I was actually chased by the cops at 146 mph in my 1979 Porsche 928."

I was just shopping for potential pinball acquisitions and by luck clicked the page for that machine I skipped too many college classes because I had rolled over 10,000,000 and was only on ball 1...and found that quote...

Here's a post from Steve from this month, in fact, commenting on the incident:
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Arch.../msg02719.html
"Then (the CHP officer) said, "How is that car to drive? It sure is pretty." I told
him that it was totally stable at any speed and made the driver look
good in any situation because it was easy to drive well."

I guess High Speed would be the proper machine to get (though I'd really like a Black Knight).
