Uh Oh! ....... In trouble.....[PIC]
Not as bad as it looks!
I was on my way to an inspection and the cops saw no plates on the vette so pulled me over....all was ok though...I had papers and stuff.....it was pretty cool.
They said that the vette totally stood out and thats how they noticed no plates! They really liked the car.

When I was a teen in HS, I was on my way home from work one day. I was driving my 65 Mustang and a Memphis Ciity cop pulled up next to me and motioned for me to race him to the next stop light. At first...I was thinking it was a trap... the light turned green, he nailed it... I thought what the heck... I nailed it and beat him to the next light. He pulled up next to me and was laughing.... gave me a thumbs up... and we parted way.

Reason he told me this is cause my bf used to own a few valiant chargers.
The cop car was a Holden Commodore SS - this one was hotted up (as it was a persuit car)...they have a 5.7 L chev engine in them.

I don't think we would have been so keen to take a photo if we got a ticket!

I really do deserve a ticket for that don't I! The corvette forum will have to start issuing tickets or something!
Ok, I have a fairly good excuse - The wiper door does not work - and since we were going for an inspection where the wipers may be checked - we manually opened the wiper door and kept it open so that if they wanted to test the wipers then all was cool.
They don't know about the vacuum wiper door!
I will definitly be troubleshooting the wiper door sometime soon. Im ordering a kit from Doc Rebuild and one of his colour coded diagrams....my main focus this last few weeks was to get the car ok and the things working that may be inspected.

Excellent looking Vette & what a brilliant picture - for once on the corvetteforum we see a car on the proper side of the road
