Police stopped Cobra today
 
I was driving through Berwick today and saw a Cobra that had been stopped by Police {(Light blue metalic with white stripes) The Cobra, not the Police car}. It made me think, was the driver speeding or do Police just like stopping Cobra's.

Do you good people feel that you are stopped more often driving your Cobra than and ordinary car?

Touch wood, never been pulled up in the Cobra, but should've been locked up more than once.:eek:

Only pulled over once for a rbt.

Hot sunny morning (10.30). As if you would have alchohol in your system at that time of the day!

The copper was'nt interested in the Cobra (his loss) but did apologise once he realised we didn't have a roof!!!

No very bright these cops:p

Also had cop cars pull along side in traffic and take a good look. Make sure I don't rev too loud!

Probably just "roadside assistance?"

Cameron, I know a Cobra that lives in Berwick. It's light grey metalic with a blue pearl (if it was sunny, it does look like a light blue/grey colour), white stripes, black side pipes, drayway wheels, two single hoops but p/s doesn't have the third arm cause it's removable and no plates!

The cobra is almost ready for rego but it has an engineering slip (if you call it that) that allows you to travel only from mechanics/engineer etc to home. Perhaps, if it was that cobra, that's why it was pulled up!

Cheers

Yeah Al, that sounds like the one. I only saw it for a second, hence the colour confusuion.

Never pulled over on the rode, but followed home on many occassions some warnings some just wanting to look.

I've been pulled over twice and only travelled 4 times locally. I have a permit only which allows me to a from engineer/repair etc. and I've only travelled about 20klm, hope I dont get pulled over as regular as I have so far**)

Thumbs up from the police here. They stopped once when I was in a parking lot to check out the car and talk story.

FAR less trouble with the Cobra than any other car I've owned.
