Not quite the same as the OP, but when I had a Mk1 Escort Mexico, often got people wanting to race, but the strangest was when my Girlfriend at the time was driving to pick me up, she was followed by a police car, despite driving at the legal limit, after a couple of miles, they turned on the lights and pulled her over. "Is this your car" question followed, "No, she said, it's my boyfriends", "Well if he wants to sell it, give me a call" was the Police response and then gave her his number on a card and got back in and drove off.
