Harvs11 Posted 11April, 2014 Report Share Posted 11April, 2014 "yes I say but it wasn't by much," rule 1. admit nothing. rule 2. refer Rule 1 burden of proof is on the prosecutor. Mistake 1: car was green not gray. I got off a ticket for similar reasons. No evidence that I failed to indicate a lane change whist driving a very rare Ford Monaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardust Posted 11April, 2014 Report Share Posted 11April, 2014 Fair enough, Steven. How about this one along the same lines: The last time I got booked for speeding the Highway Patrol copper, when approaching my car from behind, gently ran his fingers all the way along the rear fender bodywork. He didn't have to say anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted 13April, 2014 Report Share Posted 13April, 2014 Oh the way home today this guy pulls up next to me at a set of lights saying "nice car mate, those things are getting old but still look good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenS Posted 13April, 2014 Report Share Posted 13April, 2014 I was at a local petrol station today fueling my car and watched an old guy drive in, stop, stare at my car, drive onto a bowser across the other side, stop, reverse, drive back behind my car. He gets out walks around the car and tells me how great he thinks it is.... Made my day. Then he tells me he has a '67 soft window Targa at home along with a few other cars. Exchanged contacts and planning to go check it out this Friday..... Made my week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harold Posted 7May, 2014 Report Share Posted 7May, 2014 This happened this afternoon at the lights on Penshurst Rd chatswood with my windows down. I am stopped at the red light and a small truck pulls up beside me. He: "what a wanker" Me: "yes it's the new model" He:"What?" Me: " Yes the model with the rotary" He "What? Me: "Want a drive." He: "are you serious?" Me: "What do you think?" The lights changed to green and that's the last I saw of him. So funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 9May, 2014 Report Share Posted 9May, 2014 Just started the car to leave the Newcastle MG Car show, a bloke walks over Him: nice car, bet it gets the women Me: not as much as I'd like (joking dear……ow !) Him: oh look here comes one now obviously his partner, both dressed in jeans, leather jacket and french beret Chatted awhile about the 930 and him restoring a Citroen Goddess and how he had to drive the dirty runabout today, took photos... Her: thats nice, would you consider selling it? Me: well ,if somebody made me a ridiculous offer I'd probably think about it Her: whats a ridiculous offer ? Me: that depends on the offer (me thinking, are they serious?) Her: ok, well we will hopefully see you at another show ….and we might make you a ridiculous offer I watched as they walked off …..and hopped in their Bentley.

That would give them a bit of variety... a Citroen goddess, a Bentley and a 930. 3 cars that couldn't be more poles apart. Wonder what else the have? Better have that "ridiculous price" ready, just in case. ..... I know they say everything is for sale but "would ya" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerjager Posted 11May, 2014 Report Share Posted 11May, 2014 Sell the Arrow Blue 930, Noooo..... "Nice things said about your car"... Last November in Canberra a very good friend was getting married and due to a last minute cancellation I was asked to drive the 911SC to help get one of his groomsmen to the church. Whilst en-route to the church and stopped at a set of lights my passenger overheard a guy on the sidewalk next to us accurately describing to his mate the cars that made up our convoy. Apparently the mate had replied "yea but the Porsche is the best one", a comment that made me smile when later informed of the conversation by my passenger, as to my front was a Ferrari 458, Ferrari 360 F1 spider, Lamborghini Gallardo spider, Ferrari 360 coupe and a Lamborghini Gallardo coupe. BTW, did I mention my friend is Italian. See for some people you just can't beat an old classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveF Posted 29May, 2014 Report Share Posted 29May, 2014 Had the day off on Monday and went for a drive. On the way back home I dropped in on my wife who works at a local café/bakery. She was showing her workmate the car and said, "It looks like something out of James Bond doesn't it?" I think the car is growing on her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
