Had the Z out for a run on the M4 from Cardiff to Swansea on Monday. Came upon some road works so stuck the cruise on 40.
End of road works, so I opened her up to pass all the cars I had originally passed before the road works, who kept their foot on it through the works.
2 or 3 miles down the road, came upon new average speed cameras which I only realised at the last minute and had to put the anchors on sharpish.
Then all of a sudden, had the blues and twos directly in the rear view mirror.
Crap.
Pulled over onto the hard shoulder behind the unmarked Audi A3 and a female officer hopped out. Expecting the worst, she proceeded to aplogise for pulling me over but said I was going a bit fast and need to put lighter shoes on! During the course of the lecture, I tell no lie but she said 2 or 3 times 'ooh it's a nice car' or words to that effect. Now I don't hear those words everyday so that really made my day! Even now as I remember it, I still can't quite believe what I heard.
