Is it me now ?
I was struggling to think of something until I read Jim-Bobs reply. So here goes, the 1st time I got pulled over was outside a huge fruit and veg stall in Greenford high street, I had my mum and brother and sister in the car taking them shopping after a night shift so I was bloody knackered and the copper said 'did you not see us following you' uummm no, did yuo know you were doing 35 in a 30 on the estate...uuummm...no, do you know your tax disc is out of date...uuummmm....no i've only just bought the car, now sonny, I was only 19 and had just got my first brilliant white mk2 capri, anyway, now then sonny, you have a very nice fast car here, just take it a bit slower in future...............in front of 75-100 people on a saturday morning..........red faced or what
next...........a few years later i had a mk3 capri and was always spinning it all over the place, pulling out of harlington high street shops one day doing a 180 turn, laying a bit of rubber, the propshaft dropped on the floor and clanked down the road, all the shopkeepers came out to have a good laugh.
next, same car, a year later, on a night shift taking a young lady out for lunch, as you do at 3am, going round the loop back from the m25 up to the m40 toward london, i lost drive, pulled over, the back axle had started to slide out, she wasn't impressed !
and one last one, in my very young days, there was a car park in ruislip known for a good place to take a young lady for a bit of smooching, three cars come in and start spinning round the car park with lights on full blaze.......
there, i think that'll do for now ! over to Twink
