I got stopped once in my cosworth powered celica purely because the traffic policeman had owned one of those old celicas and knew they weren't turbo charged but had heard my dump valve. if he hadn't had been with a younger officer that was giving me the daggers id have convinced him to race his police T5 against me in the local industrial estate
