half way through fitting a fmic and pair of bumpers is not the best time to get spot checked by a jobsworth traffic cop. Loose front bumper, battery, headlight, grille, and loose wires in engine bay (slim line wiring )., also bonet wouldn't shut properly with ic pipes is what he found, and the bloody mot ran out the day before without me realizing.
So he seized my car 100m from my mums house and wouldn't let me wait for my mechanic and tow truck.
£90 fine, £170 to get it from compound and now i gota get all bits sorted for MOT. :evil:
What pissed me off the most is he went round kicking the bumpers- which i'd just had sprayed and fitted to see if they were attached properly. Nearly jumped out and floored him.
the best bit was, the 2 who stopped me and were just giving me a ticket had no MOT failure tickets so called another unit to drop some off, which happened to be a traffic cop. and when he took my car i just went my mums. then got a taxi home an hour later and the 2 of them were still stood there waiting for the tow truck
should have "forgot" to tell them the immob code too.
I love my car.....
