Getrag Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Last night, driving home after midnight and a police diesel is behind me for a bit...driving too close Anyway, the blue lights come on (oooh match my car) and I pull over gently (sh!tting it...as you do). They pull up beside me and tell me quickly that its nothing bad, just want to know what kind of car it is He was debating with his partner if it was either a Nissan or a Toyota Then he tells me that he drives a Toyota Celica VVTi. Anyway, we chat Supra for a bit then they drive off. Anyone else get this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraman Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I got pulled on the A9 on road to Inverness. Because of the private plate cop wanted to know if it really was a 'G'. Then asked a few questions about under the bonnet! Got to say it felt a bit weird... PS Getrag you need to empty your mailbox to receive pms.

baojun Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Back to the time when I was driving my Evo. in Central London, The police sitting at behind of his BMW police car had asked me to race with him from the set of traffic light to the coming roundabout. Ofcourse my answer was NO. I told him that I am a very good citizen and I dont do street racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You Guys are lucky, day i picked mine up i got stopped 5 times in about 2 miles for the drive from the club to my house. A mate who's brother is a traffic cop, called him after seeing the soop and decided to have every 1 of his mates stop me. When I got home he was there and I clicked what was going on. Joy's of knowing Traffic Cop's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelG Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I once had a Traffic Police Vauxhall Omega pull up alongside me on a busy main road and stop and double park, to ask me stuff about my GTR Skyline for half an hour lol. Should have seen the looks it got when they did that lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Quite funny to see cops doing this sort of thing, but to pull you over with blue lights just to ask you about the car is using their authority a little though wouldnt you agree..........

Lez Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Back in ‘91 when I had my silver C/Supra 2.8i MkII I was going at a crawl in the fast lane southbound on the M6 just north of Birmingham, yes even then there was bad for congestion. Anyway, we ended up by a cop car and a Capri 2.8. He signalled to wind the window down, so my missus did and turns the radio off. He asked us to slow down with him. 3 or 4 mins later they said they would be pulling over and we were to floor it. By this time there was no cars in sight, the Capri was up for it and we blasted the rest of the traffic behind us away. Oh yeah, I was faster, even with a passenger loaded car. Later that day I spoke to my then brother-in-law who was a motorway cop and he told me it was to free up the congestion, I have no idea if it work, but boy was that fun.

Getrag Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Lol - by the skin of your teeth. The cops partner asked how much power it was putting out and I said it dyno'd at 380. He just went "phhwoooar!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
