I will tell you what happened with me about an hour ago.

One of my colleagues came to work with BMW 523 I A (2,5L, year 2000). Nice car. We had some debates, which car accelerates faster: this car, mine Peugeot 406 (2.9L 2001) or Audi A6. So, decided that three of us will drive on this BMW one after another and then discuss impressions.

We were making this test on a ordinary street right in front of our office.
First one was owner of Audi, his top speed was approx 120 km per hour.

Second was me. I tried acceleration, kickdown (automatic transmission).

I started in front of office building and drove about 400 m on this street, then turned back. On the way back I noticed that I am being followed by some car.
That was police under discuise <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />. They have a coupple of cars without any signs to track speed exceeding peeps.

They got me when I finally stopped in front of the office. The speed they registered was 95 kmph. Allowed is 50. That wasn't my top speed, but this was more than enough to get about 1000-2000 USD penalty and driving prohibition for half a year. After I explained everything to them both policemen laughed and told that this was registered top speed on this street for a last week. As a reward they gave me penalty for 100 USD only. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Hehe, remember, there was the first guy, policemen missed him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />.

PS. When I was in the policecar and policemen were deciding what to do with me, two NATO warplanes flied in the sky. I told, yay, here are other speed exceeders.
Policeman replied: We will finish with you and deal with them on their way back, as we did with you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ROFL, that's some bad luck you had there, but thank god for you they we're so nice and understanding

And you're SURE they were cops, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Wow you got off lightly! Wish we had just as nice cops down in Australia! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Man you got off light there. I'd have busted your a*s.
Sorry, I have issues with idiot speed freaks.

Womb, I am not a speed freak. I do follow speed limit usually, at least I do my best. This was just a test, I made sure that there is no people or other cars around. Sure, this doesn't sound like a good excuse.



At least you would have saved me my 100$.

Yeah, just an issue that bothers me though. Boys with toys.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Glad you feel ashamed about it.

Yup Egin you got off real lucky. Thank goodness there were no other problems.

If i had been there and seen it i would have given you the old "Knob Head" sign, sorry 'bout that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

either that or u'll put your 'old' jalopy to the test, eh spick? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Ah the old nob'ed salute. A classic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if larian could introduce a "Knob head" emoticon??
Just needs a slight alteration to this one >>> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> don't you think.

Just a little alteration. I thought it was doing that anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

It could be an "in house" joke couldn't it, but hey, don't tell anyone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />
