Default Poor old colin next door

Colin next door who is likes his beer was returning from a heavy metal gig in Leicester in his BMW 525d when he got pulled over for undertaking by a police patrol car.

He'd been drinking lightly all afternoon and immediately tries to divert the conversation by referring to the police patrol car - also a white BMW asking how the officers found the fuel consumption etc etc (!) - You can guess the rest - 'have you been drinking , sir?' - life flashes before him (needs the car for his work et etc) - as the officer was escorting my mate to his patrol car, a lorry jack-knifes on the opposite lane of the motorway - the police officers tell my mate to stand on the other side of the barrier and wait for them.

The officers run to the other carriageway to try and control the situation. 5 minutes pass. My mate is now feeling panicky and makes a mad dash for the beemer and slips off down the motorway un-noticed.... got away with it .

Following morning he's at home thinking what a close shave - could have been driving licence, job and home - gone- all for a stupid drink. At lunchtime there's aknock on the door - two Policemen ask him where he was last night - and are told at home in bed - wife vouches for him.

They ask if they could see his car. feeling smug, my mate takes them out the garage to see his car knowing they had nothing on him- roller goes up and there sits a gleaming white BMW - but with Bedfordshire Police on the bonnet !! In his panic the previous night he'd jumped into the wrong beemer and driven home !! Police have confiscated his car, seized his driving licence and he's in court in April. - and one of the first two police officers was suspended from traffic duty.

Last time I heard that it was a white Rover SD1 3500

Showing my age or what?

How are you getting on with that white "can I drive it without brakes" Scoob?

Yeah ok, so he didn't notice all the Police gizmo's on the dash and the radio beeping etc but could ask about the fuel consumption of the other vehicle?

Actually, I remember reading the Rover SD1 version in the Cambridge Evening News in 1976. Was one of my favourite jokes for years. Defo that year as the "Long Hot Summer" and I was 12 and just started an evening paper round (bit young by todays laws). Hence reading the paper.
