Warning Country SA Cops, Hating Bedfords

Warning Country SA Cops, Hating Bedfords.
sounds harsh but true.
there's been cops around the Snowtown area picking on bedfords.
he got me for a tire, but wanted to try for rust.
he apparently just got another icecream bedford like 20minutes before hand, oily motor etc..
im from adelaide an the cops here laughed that the country cops get off picking on old classic cars like bedfords.

an just to let you know he was picking on the bedford, there was a car behide me that looked like a roo hit the motor an was crumbled up, but he left them alone just to try an get the bedford off the road..
if bedfords are supposed to have dead bodies inside, i could think of a couple..lol

I was worried about that, i think the actual reason isnt dead bodies, but drug trafficing. Marijuana is plentyfull in SA and cheap, and alot of people bring it over to victoria (i assume other states also) to get better prices.

Id say that if any van had gone past they would have picked it up also.

I think you will find that it is any old car at the moment.
Recently a friend got pulled up in a VR Commodore Wagon that had just passed rego and the cops went over it looking for something to book her for. A mate with an older Ford camper van told me that the NSW RTA are now making home visits inspecting old cars that have just passed rego.

thats a great idea i recon,
it ensures there are no dangerous shitboxes on our roads.

I agree to a certain extent. I always make sure my vehicles are roadworthy, but an overzealous public servant can always find something wrong, and they do. The glee in their eyes when they know they are going to cause un-necessary expense.
However most are OK , but it is the few that make life difficult.

kirk, ive never had any trouble driving bedfords, and ive travelled interstate and all over the place, cant say my vans are very roadworthy, id like to think they are but there is always stuff going wrong with them and not enough hours in the day to fix them.

if its neat they shouldnt bother you,.

I got pulled up at an 'old car stopping station' 90 km out of melbourne
they were pulling everything over 20 years old for a look.
not thorough, just reg and tires and obvious defects.
they were polite and friendly, no problem

never had or want any dead body,s in mine,
had quite va few hot body,s though

I work shift work and have been pulled over 4 times in 3 weeks.... the reason? My dark Bedford is a suspicious looking vehicle. No kidding!!! I asked the cops and this was the reason I was told. I have lived here for 7 years and these are the only times I have been pulled over by the police. They must feel really let down when they see little ol me in my maccas managers uniform!!!!! No police discount for them anymore!!
