Hi guys was I lucky last night or what.

Coming back from the Team shock meet at Reading Services. Car asbeen giving me a bit of trouble latly, so I thought I'd give it a bit of a clear out.

Getting up to about 110 then after awhile easied off to about 95 then to my surprise one police van goes by and just carries on going.

What a close call or what!!!

Sounds like a lucky escape John, thank goodness.

They probably didn't have VASCAR, if it was a van, so it would have been a bit more difficult to prosecute you!

Also they possibly just either couldn't be ar**d or they were off to a genuine crime for a change.

Either way very lucky M8, or else it'd have been

time!

I can tell you. I breathed a sigh of relief after they went past.

Must be a Supra thing.
I was gona post something that happened to me on Saturday with the Police but thought id leave it incase i got frowned at by other members.
But it Ended in the Policeman letting my off with a jail sentence,having a 5 min chat about the car and giving him a spin.

P.S if you are in Belfast look out for an unmarked Skoda!!

Just try driving in Italy! I was overtaken driving at the speed limit by the Carabinieri's finest in their marked Alfa 166 doing 100, with them giving me 'come-on go faster' hand-signals.

Decided to obey their instruction and opened up to overtake to see them both with big grins and thumbs-up as I went past. Absolute maniacs and don't get me started about Naples!!

I wouldn't have believed it unless I was there!
