Re: (no Audi Content)--but hilarious!!!



it was about the only funny thing I've read in that stupid column since they
started it - too bad it first appeared in "Road & Track" months ago!

 There following was in the October 7, 1996 issue of Auto Week, under "but
wait, there's 
 more".  I couldn't resist sharing with you!!!
 
 Fuzz Buster (And Blower Upper) Dept.
 
 So two speeder-hunting British coppers are stunned when their radar suddenly
screams, 
 gurgles, and freezes up, flashing a reading of more than 300mph.  Seconds
later, mystery 
 solved: A very low-flying Harrier jump jet buzzes over their heads.  Then
the bobbies 
 complain to the RAF about the radar and the damage done.  The RAF says, uh,
sorry chaps, 
 but it might have been worse:  The Harrier's target-seeker had locked onto
the "enemy" 
 radar and triggered an automatic retaliatory air-to-surface missile.  Alas,
the jet was 
 flying unarmed.  This time.
