whilst out enjoying the north east coast i was stopped by a traffic cop for alleged illegal number plates :roll:

cop
those reg plates are German and not legal on british roads.

me.
i think you'll find they are legal :P

cop,
take a seat in my car .

ffs here we go :roll:

after digging through 3 books he said that they need a kite mark,i said they have this mark on them so off he goes to check winkeye .


not saying anything on his return he starts to fumble through his books of law again,he he.

then requests another traffic car to the scene of the crime.


the other cop told him they were fine as the kite mark is there.


he then requested that i leave his car and continue on my journey :hammer: :teehee:




i'm lovin it :D

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

i got fined for having german font pressed plates on my last e30. the coppers first words to me after he pulled me up were 'do you speak much german'. My reply was 'ja ich weiß'

he then said 'dont get funny with me, get in the back of the police car'

after me losing my temper and arguing the toss i got a fixed penalty for it. :(
