Hey guys

Just a general question here

How often do you get pulled up by the po-po in your mr2?

In my case- not yet, since I hardly drive it, and I have big L plates on the car :P

I'm interested to hear your stories!

My wife says it's a cop magnet, but so far not been stopped. My Spyder has been lowered so it always feels like you are going faster than my other car....lol a Mazda CX7 where you sit two stories above the road...

Cops dont bother me one bit and im on my green P's.  I used to get pulled over at least twice a week in my AE92 but in my Sdub they dont look twice and i havent been pulled over once in the last 10 months ownership other than the typical roadside RBT crew.

I can only think of once that Ive been pulled over apart from RBT and that was because I had a GT wing on.  Thats in about 10 years Ive owned it

I've yet to be troubled by the local constabulary.  Only time i've ever been looked at was by a cop walking down the road past me.  He had a look, said 'nice example you have there' and carried on LOL.

Never in the mr2.
More likely to get pulled over if you have the usual attractions.
cannon exhaust, big wheels, stickers, lowered, p-plate :D
I dont think the actual car is as important.
 
I got pulled up on the old pacific highway, going quickly, but not excessive just fast in the corners.
In an R33 Skyline (stock), he asked to check the bonnet, i had "cops are tops" stickers under the bonnet, he laughed and let me go.

I was 'pulled up' more times in my old camry station wagon lol
It really depends on how you drive it, more so than the type of car. Most cops probably mistake it for a "celica" anyway :P

I drove my mr2 for almost 2 years on my P's. Not meant to have been driving it being turbo so I rubbed of the turbo writing infront of the rear wheels just in case they saw the Green P's and read it. Never got pulled up until I had about 2 months left on my P's by a guy that knew what the cars were and knew it would have been a turbo. (Not many people know what an MR2 is around here) Was a really nice guy and let me go promising I wouldn't drive it until on my full licence. I kept my promise and all has been good.

I was pulled up once in 7 years for having my fog lights on, they were sitting near the TAFE college I teach at. He was a bit surprised that this old bloke was stepping out of the car. He gave me a warning for the lights but didn’t mention the 4" HKS exhaust  sticking out the back or the half role cage and the very loud intake fan for the aftermarket intercooler.  The rest was pretty well hidden. Sometimes getting old is a blessing.
