I don't know which high ranking government official or member of Royalty was attending a function in Glasgow city centre last night but I have to thank them for providing me with a Police escort on the way home from the Bothwell Street on ramp to the M8 Kingston Bridge at Charing Cross all the way to Glasgow Airport.
It was like a scene from a US presidential convoy - about 8 motorcyle outriders, four black Chrysler people carriers with blackened out windows and two high performance BMW patrol cars all with blues & reds flashing away.......oh and little old me right behind the tailgunner BMW. Much to the surprise of other motorists which my convoy passed - staying within speed limit I may add.
They probably thought I was the paperazzi looking for a photo. Luckily we weren't heading into a riverside underpass at any point of the journey.
Anyway - thoroughly enjoyed my wee escort home. I know the 100HP is a bit special and still a rarity in these parts but I think Strathclyde's finest may have been taking it too far on this occasion.
"Till next week then Chief Constable?"
