Dropping a friend off last night in the Murrays, quite late - maybe 1.30AM...
I decided to come home via town, roof was off, and music was on, yadda yadda.
Close to home, I cross Drumbrae Roundabout, and start to climb the hill. I drive past an oncoming police car, whose driver gave me "the look"...
I indicate and turn left onto Craigs Road, and have a sneaking suspicion that in a second or two I am going to have a police car behind me...
So without further delay, (I’m in a 30), I boot the accelerator and before you know it, I’m doing 90 down the road....
No, actually that’s just bollocks
Had you though!Anyway, I turn left into Craigs road, knowing that the police car will be behind me in a second or two, so I slowed to about 20mph and kept an eye out. As soon as I spotted they had turned to follow, I indicated, pulled over and got out. They didn’t flash their lights and looked surprised that I had initiated the being pulled process.
Anyway, turns out some nosey neighbour in the MURRAYS has spotted my car "been driven very loudly and aggressively". Which is complete balls. Yes I was louder than most (new exhaust is ACE
), but I was not being a knob.I was warned that the police officer would be visiting said neighbour for a more accurate report, and if need be, she will return to me at home and issue me with a car Asbo. I told her I would appeal any attempt to issue said Asbo, as having a loud orange sports car does not justify being victimised, yadda yadda yadda.
Remains to be seen what will happen...
Down with Nazi rule I say, they can take their Asbo and stick it in their arse.
PS - the female cop was the one busting my balls. They guy was loving the car, asking me what I thought of Aston Martins, telling me he is a keen track driver etc etc. He asked me to let him hear the exhaust, and his exact words, "Impressive Note" - I had to laugh...
She on the other hand looked like she wanted to rip my head off and sh1t down my throat.
gone 
Ouch.
