annoying neighbors

[XE351B]

i have just bought a ute from the auctions and the tie rod end was bent, thought ill fix it and give the car a alignment, the ute doesn't have the bumper and guards on it, as they were damaged i took them off............ took it for a drive up the street and back into my driveway,, no more than a 80 meter drive, when one of my neighbors decide to ring the local police station and dob me in for driving a unregistered vehicle..... the police come round in about 20 mins of switching of the engine in my driveway........ and ask me what i was doing driving it on the road,,

i explained to them that i was just getting it ready for a roadworthy and the only place i can check to see if it was all good, is up my street and back.......

they said if i was caught i would be fined. i apoligised to the officer and off they went..... no problems there....

i just can't see how i could have possibly disturbed anyone by driving my vehicle up the street and back...... if this annoying neighbor really had a problem with it,, why don't they just come up and tell me what there problem is...............


anyone have any similar storys???
