SoulSearcher Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Posted May 10, 2006 Picked up the rolla yesterday, OMG they did a fantastic job, AND they detailed it inside and out :) what champs! So I went cruising EVERYWHERE!!!!! At about 3.00am this morning, I was taking my friend home, she lives at Mt Barker and we were discussing what we really felt like... hot apple pies from McDonalds mmmmmm. I took the Mt Barker Exit and jokingly said shall we see if we can get the car sideways around this corner?! Ahhh no, that car's probably an undercover cop car.... but I did take it up to 5 grand to make it go pssssshhhhttt! I was in a great mood!!! McDonalds Hot Apple Pie....mmmmmmm I told her I'd happily drive to town to get them (about a 70-80klm round trip) at the Macca's that's open 24 hours a day, well she was faffing about, undecided, (to get to her house I need to be in the outside lane - remember this) and I was saying I'm fine driving there, really, I got my car back today and I'm enjoying the driving!) so she said right, APPLE PIE!!!! So I changed lanes and chucked a left to go around the block and head back down to town.... well I was sitting at the traffic lights, waiting for them to go green and I looked in my rear view mirror and there's a police car there, then another police car came around the corner actually peered into my car and did a u bolt. I said, "ooohhh they're out catching baddies tonight LOL". So the lights went green and off I go (sedately) and on the inside lane and the police cars (yes two of them) are still behind me. I was thinking "oh crap I hope they don't go on the freeway otherwise I'll have to behave myself...well, on came their lights....I GOT PULLED OVER (first time in about 10 years!!!) by TWO POLICE CARS!!!! I indicated and pulled over and sat there saying to my friend, I wonder if they saw me on the freeway (I was speeding a teensy bit) hang on there wasn't anyone about, I didn't do anything that they could have seen!!!!! Do I get out of the car?! Do I stay in the car??! Well I wound down my window, and they didn't approach, so I thought I'd get out.... I walked up to them and said "he-llo? ........... Ummm why did you pull me over???" as in a nervous WTF!? and the police man said, "we pulled you over because of your driving manouvre" me thinks (the one where I was speeding to get the car to go psssshhhttt?!) so I said "which one???" he said "the one where you drove around the block" (OOOKKKKK?!?!?!?!) Were you tring you avoid us?". And I said, ohhhhh no!, and explained about the McDonals Apple Pie. Meanwile the other police men (there were three of them) one had a baton in HIS HAND!, one was obviously checking my registration and the third one I had no idea what he was doing but it sounded crinkly.... they asked for my licence, so I went and got it and the crinkly policeman came up to me....I said "I'm getting breath tested AS WELL?!?!?! - COOL!" I think they thought about this time that I was a complete idiot, well who cares. I blew 0.0000 and they said that "that was no fun"! So there I am, standing there, having a good explanation of why I drove around a block, been breath tested, they've checked my licence and registration....and I'm still standing there.... so I said, ummm is that all, can I go now?! They said oh sure! So I got back into the car killing myself laughing and told my girlfriend who was kinda in shock, not driving and never been pulled over before LMAO!!! Then she started laughing because when I originally drove into Mt Barker I joked about the undercover cop car.... So we got to town got out hot apple pies....and guess what....the city Maccas starts serving breakfast from 4.00am....I love their egg and bacon McMuffins, so we got our apple pies, and went cruising until 4am and got breakfast at maccas.... I ended up getting home at 5.00am this morning, but gosh what a night! Lesley :) *pssshhhttting all over the hills* Quote
Jono Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 Sorry to hear about the vandalism, Its like that scene from Pulp Fiction, "It would be worth him doing it just to catch him doing it". I had my nearly overrated BMW keyed twice across every panel and they took all the badges. I never bothered getting it resprayed and really let the car go after that. I didn't garage it. I don't think its worth having a nice car unless you have a garage. Quote
st.nick Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 My BMW got done too, several times!! The most recent was key 'circle work' on the bonnet, then all the way down the passenger's side... every panel. Thankfully the 16yo paintwork was still tough as the day it was sprayed, and the majority of the key-work was polished out!! Still they stole my one-off titanuim valve caps, (A mate machined them up by hand for me... one of a kind set!!!) and kicked the fog light so hard that it broke off its mounts!! The BMW foglights are a sight to behold... Big long thing made of about 100 parts!! And super tough construction. They must've booted the absolute shit out of it to do the damage they did. Yeah, pick on my car you wankers... It's not gonna fight back and smash you knee-caps!! Quote
SoulSearcher Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) yes, I did have to work today, but luckily, owning your own business and having a hubby that will open up for me (even when it's my turn) is a blessing, I rocked up at about 3.30pm :). I've just got home (It's 4.45am) and I'm supposed to be opening up at 10.00am debating whether to stay up or not....have to do some washing and some house work.... hmmm may see how I go.... But part 2 of the story, tonight when I was dropping my friend Sandy home (at around 3.30am), we saw where the police car hides, so I slowed down, wound down my window and waved....he waved back :) LMAO! Lesley :) Edited May 10, 2006 by SoulSearcher Quote
Raven Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 LOL! You're asking for trouble waving to a police car thats hiding, thats for sure. Quote
SoulSearcher Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Posted May 11, 2006 Part three of the story..... Tonight on the way to dropping off my friend Sandy home I got a flat tire on the freeway (I think she's jinxed!!). Bloody hell my car's low!!!! Well got it changed, a galant young man asked if I needed help, and I let him (even though I CAN do it myself!!!). I drove into Mount Barker and went to the servo to check the air in the spare and .... a police car drove in, well I pointed and started laughing *LOL* I said I SWEAR I'm not trying to avoid you.... I got a stony faced look.... (they obviously didn't hear me) well after I checked the air I walked up to the policeman and said "I'm sorry I wasn't laughing at you it's just a coincidence that you're here, you see the other night I got pulled over.... and then last night I waved at a police man" he said "I know, I was there when you got pulled over and that was me that you were waving to", and I said "oh, so you know what I was laughing about then," and walked back to the car with a stupid grin on my face. I saw in my dash that I had an uneaten hot apple pie (which was cold - I got it earlier in the day) .... me having a warped sense of humour grabbed it and went into the petrol station and tapped the policeman on the arm and said "I thought you'd get a kick out of this" and showed him the hot apple pie .... he killed himself laughing!!! I waved and said goodbye and off I went.... *you just gotta laugh sometimes* Lesley :) Quote
rolla_4 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 :) Good story..... You should have originally gone for doughnuts! :) Wonder how the cops would have taken that? Quote
Clown Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Good to see a bad cop story ended good. Last time the Mr2 was on the street i get a dodgy defect and photo's taken of my car. Talking to a cop mate of a guy i know about trying to do my cars legally, asking for the road worthy book thing so i can do things legit aswell as a few other questions, he said he wouldn't help so i kinda said "Police want you to do things right but when you ask whats right they wont tell you hows that fair". Aparently the office (TMU/ethical standards) is pissed and my cars on a hitlist (basicly defected on site) and will be passed to the EPA. Oh how i love cops. Thats after having "dumpin oil" on my record which i've never done aswell! :D Quote
