god, I'm on top form with thread titles today. ;D anyhoo. me and the 2 little uns went out for the afternoon in the 230. went to the park for some swing, slide and roundabout fun. then the girls decided they wanted to go to maccy Ds for something to eat. nugget happy meals all round.yay. on the way we passed a C class county car, once id passed they followed me for about a mile before the lights came on. i was questioned about the contents of my boot, cos the back end seems to be sitting low. "have a look at the front" i said, "its the same height as the back". once it was established i wasnt overloaded and my suspension wasnt knackered they let us go. they were the friendlest coppers ive ever been stopped by, which recently, makes a change. they even found it ammusing when i told them to chop the C in for an E. for those who might not have seen the 230, heres a pic. also keeps the thread on topic-ish. ;D

I got pulld in my Sierra curse word box last month. Mine was the usual 'don't like the look of that black tape flaping in the breeze holding the remains of your front bumper together. And those rear wheels have a peculiar angle to the road where it's been lowered so much. And the drivers door handle is broken. etc...
Bought a new smoker the next day!

No half-nelsons and slamming you against the bonnet this time then TCC?! ;D ;D ;D When I got a tug for speeding, the rozzers didn't like my gaffer tape rear quarter light... they let me off for the speeding but made some grumbling noises about my front tyre being close to the wear limit

A few years back me and a couple of mates got followed on foot round Plymouth without even knowing. Got back to the car to be ambushed by two plainclothes giving it the big one. Turns out my Viva was on some black list for car crime in Plymouth, strange as I'd bought it a month earlier from a little old lady right down in Cornwall. Anyway they wanted to search the car for tools I could steal cars with. Well, on my way out that day I'd changed my brake pads (like you do) and had a huge box of tools in the boot. They glanced at them, asked if we had any drugs and left. Sherman tankers..

I got stopped one night a couple of months ago in a comical farce style. The usual is this your car sir? have you been drinking? Blow on me...excuse me!? I had to apparently huff my breath towards him, but I didnt really comprehend what the hell he was on about. Anyway after a radio check, coming back as a white Peugeot one oh four what ever that is, on I went.

One night in LB the roads were actually a lot slippier than I thought - that kind of heavy dew that part freezes making it a bit treacherous...... Anyway, I came down a hill, into 2nd (had 4 people in the car, dropping them off at a club as I was the designated driver), braked gently and turned into the junction leading onto the highstreet. The rear end stepped out very slowly so I just squeezed the pedals gently and hung the tail out a little, and drifted very nicely at quite an angle into the junction, before bringing the speed down quite rapidly so I could pootle down the high street at 5mph. Unfortunately, sitting parked up on the inside of the junction was a full blues-n-two's Vectra, obviously slightly bemused by seeing a Triumph sliding past it, which followed me down and flashed its lights briefly. I remember seeing it as I had drifted past it and just thought "Cock" I pulled over (of course), wound the window down and turned the car off and the Officer walks over, (couldn't have been more than 25) and goes: "Is this your car sir?" "Yes" "What is it?" "It's a 78 Triumph 1850...." "Did you mean to do that back there?" "No, it's much slippier than I thought just there" "Well, anyway, have you been drinking?" "No, not a drop!" (which was true!) "Oh well, cool, just try not to do that. Nice car, have a good evening!" ;D

Great stories! My best one happend about 18 months ago and appologies for length! I was coming home one night round the North Circular in my Oxford and was in need of fuel quite desperatly. I'm sitting there obeying the limit thinking I'll just pull in to that BP in a mile or so. A brand new BMW 5 series estate traffic car gently comes past me and they obviously give the strange old car a once over. Coming up to the petrol station and "Oh, curse word", they're pulling in too! Now there's nothing particularly illegal about my car but you still don't want them to start taking too much interest. I pull up at the pump next to them and the copper starts chatting to me about the car as he starts filling his tank. Then he goes quiet, his colleague goes into the shop, followed by him and I can see there's a bit of a fuss etc. They come out and I go in to pay. The cashier tells me that he's just put a whole load of petrol into his new diesel BMW!!!! Ha Ha!! Guess he was too busy learning about hot rodded old Farinas!!!! ;D I pull out nice and slow as they're talking on the radio to get a recovery!!
