Police Octy vrs pulled my son over

plumsoul · 26-09-2005, 20:58

My son and his mates were out on their motorbikes at the weekend and got pulled over near Peterborough by debadged Octy vrs police car-blue lights in the grille. My son's mate said out loud -'Your old man's got one of them cars hasn't he?' Cop then said what a good choice 'the Old Man' had made! He reckoned compared to the debadged Scooby they have, the scooby beats the octy on 0-100 but the octy beats it over 100 (not on a public road though I'm sure

)

They also have an unmarked BMW M5.

Reason for pulling them over was they had small number plates. Cops very nice about it but still measured plates with a tape measure before issuing £30 fines.

Apart from the fine bit, seemed like he was being fair about it in at least measuring it

'proper' traffic have always been polite & nice to me, as long as you don't start yelling at them the moment you wind/press your window down and are polite yourself you usually just get a fine (or in the case of me, about 5 years ago, a few questions as they were literally just bored and spotted the Dutch plates

)

I saw an Octy vRS getting pulled by an Octy vRS on the Fosseway in Leics (toward Narborough end) - anyone on here going to admit to it?

WW_VRS · 28-09-2005, 06:35

So did the good officer take pity on a fellow Octy vRS driver, and let you off with a good b0ll0cking?
