That's what I was saying about this site as I signed up....
Hello all. New here. Excited to join. I am amazed at the flurry of discussions available here for the bluesmobile and other police rebuilds, and am grateful this site exists. I found it via the proboards menu.
So, I feel dumb for joining so late. I do not own nor have ever owned a police vehicle but have aspired to someday. This is definitely the place to visit to make sure I'making good choices when that day come.
I am a die hard Blues Brothers fan. That movie is my anthem, and to my eclectic music tastes as well. It is top 3 all time without question.
Hope you'd like my ID. I love it and am surprised it was even available! It is also my ID at BBC, which I (shamefully) haven't visited in quite some time.
Simple reason is it's one of my favorite lines in the movie. It's just perfect silly, Aykroyd's delivery. My son and I recite those lines whenever I am driving about and a police car gets riding behind us. He'd play into it beautifully even when smaller. "Oh no"...."what?"..."rollers"...."naww"....."yyyaa".
( god forbid we ever get pulled over ....but if we do I'll just throw in the scmods speech too...why not?)
I am from southeast Wisconsin and am also glad to be close to the great city of Chic-ahh-go and have even taken a Blues Brothers set tour once. Including the legendary deserted, and now finally demolished, Dixie Square Mall abandonment on a few occasions. My favorite site. What a spectacle. I unfortunately missed the day of it's final crumbling, but it's archived plenty on youtube. I'm sure yous know.
Around here it could get hard to find, fix, and maintain an ol beater like our beloved, but some have shown up around here....
A recent job of mine was right around the corner from a business where someone randomly parked their blues replica in the lot last summer. The car was an old dodge police car, not sure which model, but was not the exact, yet close! It had the roof horn too. It appeared as a sheet metal-fabbed replica horn, but not exactly like any I've seen on here so far when I looked. Next time it is ever out (since it's Winter), I'll try to get a pic.
So glad to join all and be a fly on the wall at the VERY least and learn as much as I can.
