Default Nabbed by the Cops

So there I am, driving back from Homebase after buying the S2k recommended oil replacement device, ie: a 69p plastic funnel, when I spy a group of kids ahead all pointing at the car.
Driving past I get the usual "cool car mister " comments, so I guns the engine as a thankyou and drives on. Then realise that the two people sauntering across the road up ahead are a couple of local rozzers! "Oh Shit!"
One stands in the middle of the road hand up ordering me to stop, which of course I do. (And yes the thought did cross my mind)
"Was that really necessary Sir?"
"Only trying to brighten up the kids day officer."

Looks at the group of kids, "Alright then off you go"

Wonder if this would work on the M8?

Did you get Paul Daniels to do that or was it a David Copperfield special? Nice trick anyway
