raced an under cover police vectra 3.2 v6 today on the way home from skegness, just come out of skeggy on the a52 and noticed a vectra giving it some in front of me, i was in my birds t sport yaris and thought f*ck it i'll have a go, so there we are over taking together and cutting corners and we come to some tight bends so being in a little yaris i overtake him and wupped his arse, we was both doing between 70-110 though out this little race, then i hit the 40 zone so as always i don't speed there, this gives him chance to speed tight up my arse again where we stuck at 40,as i see the end of the 40 zone i get the car into 2nd ready for another take off and bang! blue lights flew out of every vent and grill on it, i pull up, think f*ck and go to his car, he tells me to get in, i'm sat there and he smerks, openly admits he couldn't keep, tells me my lines coming into the bends could do with brushing up(even though i beat him) then carrys on to explain that it is ok to speed in the right places and that the reason he pulled me up was because he wasn't happy with one of my overtakes, then goes on to say that apart from that my driven was fairly safe and that the reason he was up my arse in the 40 was to see if i would speed, he then says have a nice day and remember what i've said,
i was sh*tting myself, i keep pinching myself,
he then says has your dog (who was in the back seat) been sick yet? i replyed, nah he's used to it, say my good byes and carry on home,SLOWLY and shaking still.
i thought that was it for me and was gutted as i'm set to pick up my indy from mk on saturday as they've finished it all now, i can't belive i've got a license let alone a clean one! wahooooo

Cant condone the 3 figure speeds, but hey, who on here hasn't done it.......

Come on be honest.

You was lucky, you found a good en. did you get the Vectra reg for future reference ?

good on ya mate ....................

Bloody hell you lucky git. Guess they're not all 'ankers.

lucky is an under statement, really can't believe it,
it's a 54 plate, dark metalic green, no stick on clear lights like most, these are behind the grill and are black until they light up, after i got out of it he turned the blues off and i couldn't see them, really nice guy, but to be honest and i think he new this too, that he was just having a good time too and he's not ment to speed either without his blues on

Did it have a second interior mirror or/and a camera on dash, these are the tell tail signs I look for ?

no mirror, but the camera was in front of the standard rear view mirror

mmmmmmmmm, crafty, anyway if that happens in your R1 indy it wont have thew same outcome, you'll be gone........

3 figure numbers Jon - reminds me when you tried to drive over the top of my Avon on the way back from Donny last year (could have been 2 years ago).

I think I was going 115 at the time!

Pat...

couldnt do you for speeding mate as it would of been thrown out as entrapment, as you could of been pulled for speeding way before. could do you for dangerous driving and driving without due care etc.
boston has many unmarked car
skodas, volvo estate, subaru, merc ml, vectras to name a few.

very lucky man

<life of brian> You Lucky, Lucky Bastard

The Vectra must have been in limp home mode. I've got a 2004 3.2 GSi Vectra and it vaporises little pocket rockets

Any of you guys who will be flying around Coventry (Stoneliegh) next week watch out for a Black Honda Accord and Silver Mondeo ST, both Plod and both after speeders and tax dodgers Also anyone with a funny walk, badly dressed or anything.

I recall 3 figures followin Jon on way to
Harrogate late year
Lucky that PC wont the little sh.t that
did me Sat for a small front number plate!
was parked on zig zags at the time n he let me off that one...

hey ash,
saw you friday morning near tescos, that was me in the white transit behind you about 7.30 am, don't think you heard me bibbing you to open it up down that long straight, every time i see you your tootling around like your on your last gallon of juice

" i choose my moments wisely!"

Besides she was still warmin up lol

I dont like to put the dampers on this but....... think you better give it 6 weeks and hope that a summons dont come thro the post i know a copper who did this to me once. was nice a pie etc then i got a summons in the post later.

Why? Do you think the rules don't apply to you. If you get done for something like that it's down to you and no excuse. I had to park on there because it's a long walk to the cashpoint. Sorry Ash but you don't get my sympathy for that one.

This PC was not nice! ARE ANY? The street in Q
everyone parks were they can get n all was taken so did wot i had to do. He never mesered the digits on the plate not like last time i got done for my rear plate so wot does he know!Rear i changed but not me front its stayin Large front plates look stupid see it at Stoneliegh wat do you think do come n tell me..

Park in the next street, then he wouldn't have seen you . I have standard plates and don't care what they look like, I can't see them from the drivers seat. My point is the cars stand out without parking illegally or having illegal plates, anything that causes them to attract more attention is asking for trouble. If you'd not been on the zig zags he probably wouldn't have looked at your numberplate, just my theory.

whats the penalty for a non compliant numberplate? Is it just £30 no points via a vehicle defect notice?

Just £30 no points
