Being pulled over by a Police Drug stop while driving my FGX XR8.

A younger policeman came over, did breath test for alcohol, then pulled out a plastic scraper tongue drug tester and said we are checking for cannabis, ice, cocaine and some other stuff I think that I cannot recall.

I said shocked-"jeez cocaine" - as I know all about cocaine as I have been binging lately on Netflix Narcos Mexico - so I am a cocaine expert.

Anyway sat there for a few minutes with engine idling while they did the test, the Policeman came back with a colleague and said "all clear- but more importantly congratulations on your car" and then promptly started talking about the FGX XR8 and fact that the Police service in NSW at end got some.

His colleague then said he drove the Dick Johnson GTF and it went like the clappers.

The initial Policeman then said -good to see you look after it- you need to as its a piece of Australian history, then noticed the shockworks brakes and a discussion about them ensued.

He was a really nice guy and obviously loved cars and when I pulled off said "enjoy your car".

First time I have ever heard that from a member of the Police in context of me and cars.

Anyway- that whole interaction made me feel good, 2 really good friendly guys who had a love of automotive machinery and really liked and respected the Falcon FGX XR8s.
