What colour is your car ? Was the Jeep a different colour ?
I bought a car from a TC about 6 years ago apparently they play car snooker when they are bored - Ie they have to nick a red car then a yellow one then a red one but they swap the black and pink around because Pink are rarer or were at the time...
Could just be **** and Bull but that what the guy told...

They will have just noticed a new car in the area and wanted to check it out.
To be fair they might have been w@nky with you due to the amount of little fuds getting their hands on Impreza's now and driving like tw@ts.....
Just putting the creepers up you if were a "cruiser "ned" "chav" or whatever you want to call the folk that blat about town centres hitting the limiter in 1st and 2nd gear.......
I find **** describes them nicely........
Wouldn't take it personally mate, just scaremongering.
There are plenty little paps around where I stay I'd gladly see removed from the roads. It's folk like that unfortunately give young Subaru drivers a bad name and make us targets to be checked.
If you are a proper enthusiast then you've got nothing to worry. They do have to check out new cars in their area but it is still annoying when you recieve that kind of treatment.

be carefull they can now arrest you with no charge and hold you for 24hrs no questions asked.
noticed the police attitude has changed since they got their anti terrorist laws updated.
Also it is against the law to film or photo graph them so you could not even film police harrasment

Unless you've murdered or raped someone you wouldn't get kept that long

After hearing stories of Si getting his knee smashed by a drunk in a pub brawl, and the ****** being let off.....
I can understand why most of them are a bit weary of the system.
My own experience of traffic cops, as a Scoob owner is they are either car nuts/owners or complete ****....
LOL
dunx
P.S. Hi c.o.b. !

I know they are doing there job thats fine. Pulling me over is cool but its the attitude. Of course all Cops are not like this but it doesnt put out a good image.
But at the end of the day "they" are the law an there is **** all i can do about it. Just toodle on

Mine too chap. Very quiet but have a look through the old threads on here, even the PPP exhaust being done. Basically an offence to change it to anything than an OEM system. If it is louder than standard then they can do you i'm afraid. Even if they haven't got a clue what they are doing as GC8 says...

Dump valves illegal? Tasteless and pointless, but not illegal. Id suggest that you spend a little time finding out exactly where you stand and what they can and cant do. I wouldnt let an ignorant police officer test my car with a soundmeter from Maplin whilst the other revs the **** off it.....

I know how you feel connor, I had some **** pull me over in my last Scoob. I was travelling up a dual carriage way into the town where I live, double lane my side of the road and single on the other side, Anyway I am just about to pull out and overtake when a traffic car came out onto my side of the carriage way. Now he can do that because the solid line is on my side on the outside of the second lane. He had no blues on but was clearly hooning it for fun so I pulled back in and gave him a flash. Yep you've guessed it, 2 mins later he is up my **** pulling me over. Apparantly he had checked my car reg and it was not insured, yeah right! I said "it was your system is at fault, follow me home and I will show you the certificate". So he did and I duly showed him, he would'nt have though so I said fine give me a producer then and I will bring it all into the local nick. He said "nah, it's not worth the paperwork". "come on" i said. Would'nt do it though. Just being a ****.
Unfortunately he ruins the reputation of all the cops.

episode 2. smack head on me mother in laws drive trying to get in the house and generally scaring the crap out of her, she rang me, I jogged round and sent him on his way with a few bruises to remind him how to behave in public, police told me id be arrested if he made a complaint, even tho they had been rang 4 times before I arrived and the bloke had been on the drive an hour shouting and banging on the windows.
episode 3. dude in a black octavia VRS tries his hardest to get me to race but I dont coz octavias are ****e, he goes after someone else who takes thebait, turnsout to be a copper
