So... funny story...

Best pull in by the cops ever!! 8)

I brought Topcat out last night for the "Mivec Experience" (btw, if he sells his car in the next year it had nothing to do with me :lol: )

Anyway, on the way back to his gaff, the cops were stopping. 2 gardai on my left - one bangarda on my right. Pull up and let down my window (freaking that someone had rang us in or something) Bangarda walks(nodding) around car, comes back to my window and this is the convo that ensues:

BG: Thats a big car you have there for such a small woman.
Me: Yes
BG: Yaaa... I must say, she's a nice car - I'm impressed. Isn't she lads? *lads nod*
Me: *smiles*
BG: Soo.. I must take her for a testdrive...
Me: *laughs nervously in a you're-not-touching-my-car kinda way*
BG: Actually, the 2 lads here would be better at taking her for a testdrive, really.
Me: ---
BG: Well, thanks, see you again now, have a good night!!
Me: Thanks! + giggles. Then tries to pull away quietly...

Madness huh? Never expected a conversation like that to ever ensue with 3 gardai!!

would you have got the same reaction if you were in an Integra or Levin?

There's something about those FTOs....

Can verify this alright, was very funny. And would like to add that I'm sure the only reason anyone might have called us in is because Optical's drive was so exemplary! :P
Plus, there is no way I'll have the same car in a years time (Tend to change often enough anyway, and this is the first I'm really finding hard to let go). If it wasn't for the Sleek FX, it'd be up for sale right now, and I think Kenkeo would be getting a visit. :D
Oh... the sound of that V6... :twisted:

Twas just a random check-point, so no particular reason. They are common enough on that road.

Should have told him it was and if he listened closely you'd let him have a listen of it as you took off!
