This wasn't so much of an excuse but more of a save by circumstance..... Back in my youth, I had an XT GT, a nice car but more of a rolling violation to the Police. Lowered to the max, huge wheels on the back, a big cam and an exhaust that consisted of two drainpipes sticking out from under the sides of the car (you can imagine what it sounded like...... :auto: On my way to the city one night to pick up my girl from work and the alternator light comes on.... I decide to try and make it to my mates place at Maroubra to fix it and then pick up the girl. Im driving back out along Anzac Parade with just my parkers on to try and save the battery.....on the other side of the road, I spot what looks like an unmarked cop car....sure enough, he chucks a U turn.....probably thinks Im a drunk....I speed up a little....he's still coming. Damn....I don't need this..if I turn the car off, the thing won't start again....Ive got to find a hill, an incline, a gutter even..... anything I can use to get the car started after he books me....he looms up behind me and hits the lights, no siren, just lights. Im still going, and getting panicky still looking for anywhere I can shut the car off and be able to clutch-start it again. After another 500 mtrs or so, he starts to get the sh*ts and hits the siren....I turn off and onto a side street...there's a little bit of an incline, so I pull over and switch the car off. Cop gets out...he's p*ssed off..... Cop...Why didn't you stop.... Me...It's got a flat battery....I had to find a hill.... He's walking round the car....how low is this thing son? and those wheels...there too' wide.....and that exhaust!!! I could hear you from the other side of Anzac Parade! I'm gonna have to put a defective sticker on this.... At this stage, Im doing a mental note of everything Im going to have to change to get it past the RTA.... :violin: And that's when the God's smiled upon me...... :angel: Across from where I had stopped, there was a big carpark that belonged to the hotel in the next street.... The cop is walking back to his car to get the defect book and that's when we heard this old Expensive Daewoo wagon doing a burnout in the carpark....the Expensive Daewoo has about 7-8 yahoos in it and he drives over the gutter in a shower of sparks, almost hits another car coming up the road and to cap it all off.....this tool sticks his head out the back window and screams out,,,,,YA' MOTHERF*CKERS at the top of his voice The cop runs back to me and says....you just make sure you do something about that exhaust alright!! then gets back in his car and roars off down the road after these guys...... Like I said.....it was just a lucky save....but I'll never forget that night.
