Don't be (sorry).Those dudes, well the majority of them, as you said, think that they are coppers, dressed up in their clobber, with all their important guns, sorry, torches and rulers on their hips... Rossi boots etc, fusken Wanna bee's.. who know sweet F all about mods and go fast stuff.The classic for me was when I snookered a 73 TC XLE Cortina from Victoria. 2v 250 4 speed. The youngish english bloke inspecting it was stunned when I cracked open the bonnet.. as he was fresh off the boat from the UK. He said, "what the? Did you put that in there?" I said no, read the badge:He said "geez, that must go alright. We only have 2 litre jobbies back home and they go quite well". I scoffed silently to myself thinking, wonder what his voice would sound like if I showed up in my previous 302 Windsor powered TC XLE... I said to him, when your finished your paper work, I can take you for a hot lap if ya likeHe declined. Shame. It did good skids.So their not all turds. Just most of them.. lolOne Man
