Malibu

It was Saturday, the 2nd March, 1985 and we decided to drive up to Santa Monica.

On the way, I thought it would be neat to have our picture taken by the Malibu sign, so as we were driving on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) I spotted it but missed the turn off.

I stopped the car and reversed something like fifty feet and drove to the sign, within a minute of pulling up an LAPD Highway Patrol car intercepted us and the cop leaned out and said "You got more balls than I have" and told me I was crazy to reverse at all on the PCH.

It was all in good humour, they heard from our accents that we were British and laughed and instructed us to "tell the folks back home that the Malibu police were kind to us"
