Don't look back now, it's the Popo!


So the other night I got pulled over by the police for the first time. I think maybe what caught their attention were the sequential loops I did around a particular round-a-bout, or as they put it: failure to indicate while leaving. I even managed to have 4 people witness me; being Rob, Cheyne, Shaun and Josh. I will try not to whine and moan about how I was in empty and undeveloped residential streets at 12:30 in the morning... the fact is I was 16k's over the limit, and had no p-plates on. And oh SNAP that will be $250 thankyou.

What I find hilarious though is that they (The Police, Officer Johnson) even felt it in their call of duty to refer to me as a 'Hoon'. For those of you not familiar with the term, a hoon may be defined as a show off or an individual engaged on reckless activity. The following conversation then took place.

Officer: "Just to let you boys know, we're going to be hitting this area hard to target you hoons, so be mindful in future. Thanks guys, now have a good night."

*Insert deafly silence interrupted by the faint chirping of crickets here*.

Oh no, no, no, no, thankyou officer! You see the thing is I currently drive a 2003 model Kia Carnival. Make no mistake, picking up in this 7-seater family van is an absolute treat and makes for a very smooth ride indeed, however, as for major burns out, drag racing, dough nuts and any other wikid sick terminology I can throw in it leaves a lot to be desired for.

So as I drove away with the acceleration of a retarded snail, it was at this point our over stimulated post Transformer movie imaginations boiled over. We subsequently witnessed the police car morph loudly into a giant mechanoid alien and run off into the distance.

Ahhh, happy times.

pfft!
you can't use your grandma car to excuse the outright hoonie-ness that is your driving.
i mean come on! going around the round about in excess is just downright reckless driving.
you are a danger to the community and quite frankly, you should be stopped.
"nah, i never stall anymore! *car stalls*"

I think we've clocked onto something...

HOONING TRANSFORMERS!

Imagine it...the lights go green, traffice begins to pull away...

...and the two WRX's at the lights transform into giant robots and have a foot race.

had a similar experience, cept mine was warranted as I was driving without the use of my hands and waving at passing vehicles, one of which was a police car. Some quick thinking on the parts of Max and myself evaded more trying circumstances.
