I have a funny.
A few years back my mate buys some seriously modded Nova. He sees this old bill chase going on and thinks it would be funny to see if he can distract the old bill into following him instead, getting the other guy off basically.

So he comes to this big downhill and overtakes the coppers and the car in front then turns into my estate, parks the car up the road and comes to watch from my window.

We all laughing at the 4 copper cars searching the estate until they find it in the park. They call a tow truck and the last I saw of it was on the back of a tow truck with its alarm going off, looked like the poor car was crying (just like its owner). hehehe

The key to getting off a speeding ticket is to wear glasses. And this is no joke.

Every single time i got pulled in my valver all those years ago (14 times in 12 months), I never once got a signle ticket.

I had done everything possible to get a ticket. Quite simply - i deserved at least 3. But everytime somehow, even with my gob, i got off.

Every time I had my glasses on.

However, a year later I got a job in Fulham, decided the Golf was too big to park everyday, and reverted to my old MG Metro. I also decided on contact lenses. Within 2 months I was pulled for speeding by the same cop twice in one evening (within 20 minutes). Bang - 3 points.

Ever since then, whenever i've been pulled for *anything* I've always had glasses on. (Including a fantasic overtaking manouveure i did outside Battersea Dogs home - XX in a 30 zone. Quality move. The cops did 85 to catch me. I grovelled for my life that time. Humble pie - I didnt just eat it - i bathed in it!).

i just remembered.. have kinda been chased by the cops.. but never in me car... and me nearly losing a licence i didnt even have..

the end of town i live is close to the countryside.. there's a twisty old lane that runs from 'the shops' which then turns into a country road proper later on, not many people know its there as theres a bigger road that circles the edges of the houses and merges into this country lane..  well.. being youngsters at the time we frequently would cross this lane... one morning we found a moped there, honda c70 i think... after going to get a screwdriver for the ignition and booting the steering lock so it broke it was ours.. (it was a weird place to leave it, we later found out it had been nicked across town the prev night and dumped there)

so... theres 3 of us.. no one could ride a moped.. so i ended up riding it.. no helmet or nuffin.. goin wobbly up this lane with 2 two mates in tow joggin... up until it met this bigger road.. well.. i think we were planning on stashing the bike until we could use the cover of darkness.. we were quite jumpy of any activity... so when we heard any cars we'd hide.. turns out there was a cop car on the scene. maybe we'd been spotted and snitched upon? somehow i managed to get the bike down into this little country footpath, hopped off it just in time to see plod go past.. and ran/hid across fields back to the concrete jungle thinking the bike was a lost cause now..  we kept seeing this cop car driving around up there but i guess they didnt know about this little path, or that it also joined back up with that bigger road at one point... advantage of local knowledge i guess ;)  we later recovered the bike at night and took it to a mates garage where it got de-number plated/chassis # removed and repainted silver.. we'd ride it around the fields :)



...hey this next ones golf related :)


i was about 18, went with 4 mates (three guys, one gal) to butlins / somerwest world in minehead (I live about 20 miles from it) we went in there on day passes and got real drunk and 2 of my mates (the same two from the moped incident actually..) ended up pullin and spending the night there.. me and my other mate and this girl (who was on his case.. but he wasnt interested.. lol) ended up going back to the car to spend the night, now the car belonged to one of the guys inside the camp.. but i had the keys.. we were parked out of the way up on a big hill thats populated with mostly large houses and hotels on the opposite end of town from the holiday camp.. we got in the car and were trying to get comfy. (i was tryin to sleep across the driver/passenger seat, the other two were playing some kinda weird cat+mouse game in the back)... i remember seeing a big fat hotel proprieter guy had come out and was looking over at us.. but i'm not sure what he was thinkin... i ended up getting pissed off with the big white sign outside his hotel, and figured if i rolled the car back about 15 ft we'd be in the dark away from this big white sign + fat guy.. so using just the handbrake i rolled it backwards till errm it stopped kinda.. lol (in the morning it showed i'd part mounted the kerb and was at a funny angle..rofl)..

all sorted then methinks.. err.. wrong...
about 15 mins later up rolls plod shining lights in the car at us...

plod.. whatchu doing there then?
us.. sleepin

plod.. u been drinkin?
us.. yeah :)

plod.. this ur car?
us.. nope, me mate pulled, he's in somerwest world with some bird..

plod.. did u drive this car?
us.. nope.. there u go look keys on the dash..

plod... well... fat guy reported seeing a car with no one in it rolling down the hill.. lol

me... well i just moved it back a bit using the handbrake

(i notice one plod (male one) slyly checks the engines cold)

they gave us a little bollocking, laughed a bit, wished us good nights sleep and went on there way.

woulda been done for drink drivin without a licence if i'd started the car..

ohh and my mate fell asleep at the wheel on the way home and we were heading into a hedge.. i elbowed him, he woke up and sorted it out real quick n said 'thx mate u saved me life' lol!

golf related? it was a lil y reg gold golf 1300 (i think).. lots of electrical probs... head lights would often go out for no reason.. numerous times we would drive along with torches. hanging out the windows to see the way/warn other drivers.. lol.. oh and the ignition switch at one point was a house light switch.. lol
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

This made me laugh, reminds me of my first car and had to get my rear seat passenger to continuously pull on the string whenever it rained to make the wipers work. :)

oh ive been chased by them before it s*** me up aswell...
but if the car is unmarked he cant legaly pull you over as you cant just have a siren and blue lights as a police car it must be marked.....if it happens your ment to drive to the nearist station or i'd just plant my foor down if he started to tail gate me and later if they come around i could say i thought it was a nutter!
or as long as they dont see who driving it say it wasnt you they have to prove it was you and it was your car and not a clone!

there was this asian lad on the tv who belted off from the coppers and he gave them loads of abuse!

i wouldnt do it on a marked car unless he is way behined trying to catch me up!

want a tip back streets get rid of them!

messiah there is no law fav rave track!!!!!

dont you think it was due to the fact you got caught twice but the same cop in the same night he thought u were takin the piss a bit! pretty lucky on the rest though
a lot of getting pulled by the bill is luck, but the nicer you are the more likely u are to get away wiv it! DONT get cocky, its not worth it! 8)

Its all better now very shiny, but now the windows have gone again! and shocks are squeaking like mice!!aarrgghhh
