Think ive upset the local plod ?! got stopped for the second time in as many months @ 05:15hrs on my way to work, what pisses me off the most why do the cops try to egg you on to race them ? both times they have ran close to my bumper then backed off only to hard accelerate back up to me again !! fortunatly BMW lights are easy to recognise so i didnt react just in case..............that is until at the next lights he stayed behind me , i put the car in launch mode and floored it to 60mph ( the speed limit ) left him for dead ( wet greasy roads ive got 4wheel drive soft lads got rear wheel drive watched him wheel spinnin and fish tailin after me !!! ) of course when he did catch up on went the blue lights. asks me what i was playin at ? said he was just checking the car hadnt been stolen. i asked why he thought it was a good idea to try get me to race him,he denied coming up to my bumper etc but has a video of me using my vehicle to its maximum if id like to see it ? i then mentioned id not spun my wheels or broke the speed limit, and the fact in these conditions my car is very safe,much safer than his crap BMW and heres where i think ive blotted my copy book i meantioned that when people get behind the wheel of a BM they seem to drive like t@ssers.!! (no offence to anyone on here who owns a BMW ) but it just seemed the right thing to say at the time. He wasnt very happy but since he agreed id done nothing wrong he let me go on my way................only time will tell how often i get stopped, and looks like xmas is going to be an beer free affair this year !! any way rant over ...... everyone have a good xmas and a safe new year
If you're feeling victimised then report it to the police complaints commission or even better get yourself a rear facing 'in car camera' (about £50-£100 in Halfrauds) and then you'll be able to go to them with evidence of 'goading' and tail-gaiting.
That's cos your a dodgy bastid and clearly known to the local boys just trying to do their job!! Any man that steals a top yoke cover is fair game in my eyes Might ask Bruce to up the anti..... Clearly not getting enough grief ha ha
I would have brake checked him when he was right up your arse! If he needed to get close to read your plate he shouldn't be on the road
lol - they obviously didn't like being "outgunned" And I'm with you completely on the BMW driver debate...
Plod never do like being made to look stupid. Sadly these days a lot of them don't need any help from anyone else.
This happened to my son a few years back going to over take then pulled back trying to egg him on I phoned the police station to report him had his name and number remember the name pc green I got a call back from the inspector asking if I would like to come see him for a cup of tea the dick anyway didn't happen
It's got a DSG box ? Think it has from memory........ Left foot on the brake Select sport on gearbox Turn off traction control Right foot flat to the floor, the car will only rev to about 4000rpm When your ready to fly Take your left foot off brake n hold on !
Yep - S-Tronic DSG with flappy paddles (that I have NEVER used - apart from when I tried to answer the phone when I first got the car lol)
