a wee spot of bother!

[3b_aby]

father set off up A1 for a sunday drive in the 3b, passed a layby with police car in it

police followed, promptly pulled him over

"do you realise your MOT ran out on 1 October?"

"ermm, no sorry officer" (genuine oversight!)

officer has a look over and around the car

"this is in good condition, is it an s2?"

"yes officer, sorry officer etc etc"

turns out the officers friend was looking at s2's recently but in the end bought a "225 TT quattro"

except when his friend got it home and put it on the ramps they noticed one small problem......







...........it was only a 2WD non-quattro!!

guess someone is going to be getting a visit from the law!

p.s. father said the policeman was very decent, there will be no fine as long as the MOT performed and paperwork taken to police within 10 days

Aha! That sounds rather like common sense. Note to self, find Audi-loving copper

[PeteRR]

Yeah, refreshing to hear a bit of common sense prevail for once where the Police are involved.

Sense at last!

I came up the A1 on saturday, Came across an unmarked A3 sportback 3.2 quattro in dark blue not metallic. Only extra lights were mounted above the parcel shelf looking like a dog gard! Sneeky sods! Had I been in the RS he'd have had me! (if he could catch me...)
