Just thought I'd share the experience I had last night.
I was out with freinds having a mass snowball fight in a deserted field with a big car park next to it.
Once I was bored of snow running down my back I thought I'd get the Scoob and try my luck RB stylee....
What a laugh, front end nearly tuning on the spot, very little throttle, top fun
Through the cloud of snow I noticed a car pulling in the car park so I parked up. Low and behold its a Volvo cop car
They drove past me then backed up to box me in, I was preparing myself for at worst a severe bolloking......
They sat in their car for a minute or so so I got out, and approached them, attractive WPC in passenger seat rolled her window down, both her and her male colleague were laughing, I thought thank god they may be ok!

WPC What are you doing up here ?
Me I'm doing doughnuts in the snow
WPC I can see that, do you know you could rip your tyre off its rim ?
Me I know, but the snow is so packed down it just slides round
WPC Well you shouldn't really be doing it should you ?
Me I know I should know better,but I'm getting quite good now
* laughter from both coppers *
Male PC I don't blame you m8 !

With that they drove off to the cheer of my m8's.
That experience restored my faith in humanity

 

lol you were lucky. Bet you went home with a smile on your face

 

..dude whereabouts in Surrey are you?? I've just moved to Coulsden this week...

 

Last time I did something similar 5 cars and 2 vans turned up.
Apparently some night watchman thought I was about to do a ram raid and rang 999.
Police did let me off, but after a 1/2 hour "talking" to.
Still smile about it a few years on.

 

I did Paul, it lasted a while

Richard, not heard of Coulsden, you must mean Coulsdon
I live in Purley, my bro lives just by Dobles ( swear word to you I know ) I take it your journey to work is a bit nicer now ?

 

[whisper]
..which car park??
[/whisper]

 

Why can't I ever bump into Ploice Officers like these?!? Would love to have a nice chat to them instead of them looking down their noses and acting all $hitty!

 

Andy,

You mean the old bill in croydon are human
Can't even get the car out of the car port at the moment. The hill my road is on is a solid sheet of ice

 

Nice one Now tell me ... how do you do donuts? I can do em feet down on a bike, but never tried in a car ... what's the routine?

 

<whisper]
..which car park??
[/whisper]>
I'd like to know this too
astraboy.
P.S. I dusted from an unnamed industrial estate I was having a tickle round last night before the fuzzy muff turned up. The security guards were not amused though

 

Richard, how well do you know Coulsdon ?
This was at the Fox in Old Coulsdon, they have 2 big car parks
We did all go and buy dinner ect in there so I don't feel to bad

 

You would be without doubt very brave or mad to try and get down your road chocky
Are you enjoying it ( when its not snowy ! )

 

Loving every minute of it!
I did have a play in a large carpark thinking that I've never had this much fun in the snow. That was until I got home

That's the joy of a 12% gradient I suppose, bl**Dy management agent told me to leave the car at the bottom of the road! Still feels strange facing 45 degrees to the way you are travelling

 

See! we're not all bad

 

Andy, Richard,

Lion green road carpark is very good at the back !!! Mind how you park though Andy

I thought car parks were private property and the police had no powers over their use ?

How about a group beer?

 

Police do have powers on car parks that are used by the public even though they are owned by say , asda or B&Q etc..

brett

 

group beer sounds good!!

 

hmmmmmmmm doughnuts and beer

 

Scooby- LOL I was in there before the fox
My bro saw the cops taking someones car apart in there the night before so I didn't stay long, it is much bigger than the fox though, just a bit to public....
I still flich when I see THAT post in the ground

Group beer for sure lads, the Rectory in Purley is a new pub, its good in there, any dates ?

 

..wheres that then? Im good for 2nite if you boys are...

 

What sort of times????
The dearest has the car at the moment but I could pop down when she gets home.

 

Xclent story, glad to hear that it all ended in laughter and smiles for a change.

nothing like a bita donuting.

i wanted to trying it out but the morrisons car park although covered in 8" snow had a friggin HGV and trailer parked smacking the middle

try again 2nite

 

<a friggin HGV and trailer parked smacking the middle>
Whats wrong with donutting around it?
I dunno, wheres your commitment?
astraboy.

 

You beat me to that one Astraboy

Richard and fellow drinkers, can we do it tomorrow night ?
That works for me and Care3.......

 

Tomorrow no good for me..

 

I take it you head back to Essex at the w/e Rich ?
How about next Thursday and we advertise it ?

 

Was she fit?

 

trying to get permission to leave the house
got something planned for next thursday (more wedding arrangements) could do next wednesday though??

 

Nah I work weekends Andy - sometime next week is OK with me pref Tuesday

 

years ago, really years ago like 22 years ago after id just passed my test i did same thing on asda car park in middle of wrexham in snow 11 am ish mid week.

car park was empty, eventually a traffic cop came, asked what i was doing, i said i had just passed test and wanted to have an idea what to do if the car slid. cop said ok and left after doing a quick lap himself
