Three Police jokes for the day

# Joke One

A man was pulled over for speeding down the highway; the officer came to the driver’s window and said, “Sir, may I see your driver’s license and registration?” The man said, “Well officer I don’t have a license, it was taken away for a DUI.” The officer, in surprise, said,” What, do you have a registration for the vehicle?” So the man replied, “No sir, the car is not mine I stole it, but I am pretty sure I say a registration card in the glove box when I put the gun in it.” The officer stepped back, “There is a gun in the glove box?!?” The man sighed and said, “Yes sir, I used to kill the woman who owns the car before I stuffed her in the trunk.” The officer steps toward the back of the car and says,” Sir do not move, I am calling for backup.” The officer calls for backup and about ten minutes another highway patrolman arrives. He walks up to the window slowly and asks the man for his driver’s license and registration. The man said,” Yes officer here it right here.” It all checked out so the officer said,” Is there a gun in the glove box sir?” The man laughs and says,” No officer why would there be a gun in the glove box.” He opened the glove box and showed him that there was no gun. The second officer asked him to open the trunk because he had reason to believe that there was a body in it. The man agrees and opens the trunk, no dead body. The second officer says, “Sir I do not understand, the officer that pulled you over said that you did not have a license, the car was stolen, there was a gun in the glove box, and a dead body in the trunk.” The man looks the officer in the eyes and says, “Yeah and I’ll bet he said I was speeding too.”

# Joke Two

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on the interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him. “There’s no way they can catch a Mercedes,” he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100…. Then the reality of the situation hit him. “What am I doing?” he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car. “It’s been a long day, this is the end of my shift and it’s Friday the 13th. I don’t feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven’t heard before, you can go.”
The guy thinks for a second and says, “Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back!”
“Have a nice weekend,” said the officer.

# Joke Three

A guy was driving a Buick Enclave when a policeman pulled him over. He rolled down his window and said to the officer,
“Is there a problem, Officer?”
“No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased to award you a $5,000 Safe Driver Award. Congratulations. What do you think you’re going to do with the money?”
The driver thought for a minute and said, “Well, I guess I’ll go get that drivers’ license.” The lady sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, “Oh, don’t pay attention to him – he’s a smart butt when he’s drunk and stoned.” The guy from the back seat said, “I TOLD you guys we wouldn’t get far in a stolen car!”
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, “Are we over the border yet?”

Paris Hilton and Michael Schumacher ride my Mini Cooper

It is true or is it just a dream? Paris Hilton and Michael Schumacher are riding in my Mini Cooper? It happens yesterday when I was driving my car heading to California. Paris Hilton was sexily standing beside the highway waving her hand to me. I stopped the car. She smiled brightly and asked if I can give her a ride. “Of course, it’s my pleasure Paris”, I said. When we were on our way heading to California, another odd thing happened. The seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher is waving his hand to me. Again I stopped the car. He walked to my window and asked if he can join the ride. Then, three of us, Paris, Michael, and me are heading to California. We sang and chit chats on our way. That was a happy day. Sadly, there is no scene of Paris Hilton getting out of the car but she did say “I love your car!” What a dream! Both superstars are in my car!

Fourteen Seater Mini Moke

The legendary BMC Mini Moke is always a fun car to customize due to its unique appearance – roof-less, door-less, and small-size jeep style but impractical to go off-road. Here we spotted a fourteen-seater six-wheeled Mini Moke somewhere on earth. Pictures are provided and it doesn’t really matter where it is right?

The owner customizes the car with six 13” x 7” Minilite wheels and fourteen yellow plastic seats. The use of plastic seats is to deal with the rain water. Plastic seats are water proof and it is easy to clean if they are wet. The body of the car has been stretched to fit these seats and the length is two times longer than a standard British Moke. We have seen many Moke fans customize their car with cage-style and stretched body with six-wheels, but this yellow fourteen seater moke is the first time and it is one of its kinds. We do not have the details about the engine and powertrain but it could be difficult and slow for a 1300cc engine to pickup fourteen passengers. Slow of fast doesn’t really matter as long as the car bring us to the desire destination, isn’t?

Fourth Oldest Surviving Unrestored Mini
Will you buy a Austin Mini Se7en De Luxe Saloon and have it preserved until today if you have £497 in 1959? It is 53 years of preservation! 99.9% of people won’t do that but someone actually did that. Mr David Gallimore bought a 1959 Austin Mini Se7en De Luxe Saloon (MK1) in 1986 from a Gladys Hobro of Aldwick, Bognor Regis, West Sussex. Gallimore then kept the car in a Chichester barn until recently he is putting the car up for sales. This rusty Austin Mini is covered in dust and chicken feathers and will be auctioned on 30^th April at The Royal Airforce Museum in London. It is expected to fetch up to £15,000 which is 30 times more than its original price in 1959.

Details about the world’s oldest surviving unrestored Mini

- Little History: The rusty car was the eighth Mini to roll off the production line at Longbridge in Birmingham in May 1959, three months before the car was officially launched on 26^th August 1959. It is believed to be the eighth brother of the first Mini 621 AOK that badged a Morris.
What is not original?

From the pictures everything seems to be original including the glass washer bottle and the dynamo (instead of an alternator) that we seldom see on today’s classic Mini. The only big part that has been replaced is the driver’s door. It is in red color that does not match with the farina grey. Inside, the original carpets is not there. Well, carpet may not be able to survive more than 50 years.

The engine has not been run for many years and it appeared to be original with rust. Sub-frame, steel hydraulic pipes, cable to open the passenger doors, two pieces windows, and many others are still in original condition.

Interior of the fourth oldest unrestored Mini: Note that the driver’s door is in red.

What Else?

There are three Mini were born earlier than the XLL 27 and all of them have been restored over the years. One is 621 AOK that now lives in the British Heritage Motor Centre Meseum in Warwickshire, and the other two are living in private collectors’ house in Japan. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20^th century, behind the Ford Model T.

What MalaysiaMiniLover Says?

It has everything although the mechanism and instruments are simple. The simplest things are often the truest.

You are buying a hero that save the world from Suez Crisis rather than just buying a small classic car.

The condition of the car is not roadworthy, but you don’t find one car like this on the road.

The interior do not carry any modern features such as air conditioning, power windows, or even a car stereo. That’s what we call “Classic”.

With the budget around £15,000, there are many new cars available in the market such as Toyota Yaris Hybrid and Ford Focus, will you go for these cars rather than the one and only XLL 27? As a Mini lover, we will die for this fourth oldest surviving unrestored Mini.

After more than half century, the Mini is still one of the most popular and successful British car ever built.

What will you do if you stand a chance to own this car?
1. Buy it, let it untouched and continue to keep it in garage.
2. Buy it, clean it up, and continue to keep it in a better garage for another 50 years.
3. Buy it and restore it to its former glory.
4. Buy it, spend thousands of pounds to restore it into a new look to drive up its price.

Money for car maintenance – Do you reserve it?
Imagine that an early morning you walk to your car park and start the car. You try to crank the car several times but it just doesn’t start. You make a call to the nearest mechanic and he comes over for $100 service charge. After half an hour checking, the mechanic tells you that the car must be towed to his workshop for further checking. You were told that he suspect some major parts is giving problems and that may cost at least $5000 to fix it. OMG! what are you going to do? You are forced to take a half-day emergency leave from your job on the day and it is headache to fork out an extra $5000 dollars to fix the car.

In Malaysiaminilover’s car buying guide, we always mentioned that do not purchase a car by looking at the monthly car payment but look at the car price. For example, a $40,000 car could have two payment methods:
1. Pay $40,000 cash and drive the car away from the showroom.
2. Go for a car loan and pay roughly $900 per month over four years or 48 months loan term.
Many consumers always look at the $900 per month but not the $40,000 car price. The real value of a car should be judged according to the performance, reliability, and second hand value (in the future). Most consumers always arrange 1/3 of their monthly salary to go for their desired car. However, they may forget about car maintenance which could burn their pocket a big hole after several years.

Take a look at the case above. A person with take home pay of $3,000 per month is paying $900 for the car every month. He or she must at least reserve some money for the maintenance of the car. Please read the basic car maintenance schedule. There are several things we need to do every 10,000 miles. Engine oil, washer drain, and oil filter are the most common things that cost us a little money to maintain a car. When the car grow older, we will have to pay for some other parts such as element filter (air filter), spark plug, coolant, brake fluid, clutch fluid (for manual transmission car), automatic fluid (for automatic transmission car), and others. However, there are some situations where we need to pay extra money if certain parts worn out or spoilt. These thing could cost more than usual maintenance including air-condition compressor, radiator, brake pump, suspension, or even hybrid battery. Therefore, it is a must to reserve an adequate amount of money every month in case something wrong with the car and it is no longer under warranty. What do you think then?
