Default Pulled by the police

Yesterday I was taking my son to meet his mates, I passed hope university, and turned down a side street. As I watched my son disappear around the corner a police car passed on the main road,

I was still stopped when the aforementioned police car returned and slowly came up behind me,

I start to think about what I'll be getting a ticket for, when he then drives past..... Very slowly,

At the end of the street he uturns and comes back, so I'm thinking here we go....

They pulled along side, wound down his window and said

'Nice car mate, I've got a civic type r and am looking to move to a S2000'

They then proceeded to move on,

I'm sure they had a little smile on there faces as they drove off

Police love the S2000, I've had them roll by when using snow foam. First comment was along the lines of "nice car", second was "what's the white stuff you're using?"

They rolled by 2-3 times before approaching me though.
