Replica DND Plate!!!

[Barry Churcher]

I have been pulled over a couple of times when there has been no infraction. The first time was on the NY State Thruway and the trooper scared the crap out of me with all those pretty lights. I was driving my 55 Chev which I had just finished restoring and it turns out the trooper was in the process of restoring his. A half hour conversation later we parted ways, both richer by the meeting. He made my day by admiring my car and asking a lot of questions and I made his day by giving him a break from a pretty boring day on radar. The second stop was by the OPP, again with all those scary lights. I was driving my M1010 with the personalised plate "UGLY EH". When he approached the window I said I knew he wasn't stopping me for speeding!
He had seen the truck around and recognized the licence plate. It was a history lesson for him and a bit of an ego enhancer for me. Now he will be more understanding when he sees a CUCV screaming along the 401 at 80 KPH.
