Front Plate
Last Sunday, being sunny, 2C, roads dry, I decide that I need to take Roush out for a drive, it is in garage and I have never driven it.
All going good, couple smal burn outs, sideways a couple time, cruised down QEW at 148 on gps. stop at local pub for a cold one Decide to come home, get pulled over for no front plate Show cop registration, saying i have had car for month, first time it is driven tell him it is gonna snow out later, so car will be put away again showed him receipt email, for a no screw front plate bracket that is on way Still got a 110 bux ticket then he starts to tell me how much he knows about cars, and wants to know if car has a Ford 427 (Roush fender and truck badge) in it. I told him yes, sir, Ford is now using Chevy big blocks to save money IDIOT |
Well..... Not to be an ass but he is right. I got pulled over for the exact same thing last week but got off with a warning.

I had a ticket for the same thing in Windsor but a detective buddy had the ticket squashed tehehehe

He looked at registration, can see I just bought car Think it is too close to end of month - quota time |

Just FYI, there was a Ford performance engine back in the 60s that displaced 427 ci, that's the tie-in for the Roush model name.
And the lack of a front plate will get you almost every time. Had the same thing happen when I was driving my old 87 on the street, race tires, noisy exhaust, the officer could have given me tickets for several things, but was reasonable about it and just gave me a $90 for no front plate (this was around 1995). cheers Ed N. |
I had my plate in the front seat mounted to the "craigs custom" bracket which I showed him. Explained I just hadn't installed it yet and he let me off.

No front plate for me! Could I get a ticket If I went to Ontario?
