A DRIVER spent two nights in jail after being accused of "revving his car in a racist manner".

Mechanic Ronnie Hutton, 49, yesterday described his court ordeal which finally ended when prosecutors dropped the allegation of racism.

But he was still convicted of a breach of the peace for revving the engine of his £25,000 Lotus.

Witnesses claimed he had been trying to intimidate a Libyan couple on the pavement. Ronnie, of Stirling, claims he was only revving the powerful V8 engine to avoid another £15,000 repair bill.

But off-duty Chief Inspector Eoin Jenkins thought he was targeting Muslim Isam Maigel and his wife Hana Saad.

And when Jenkins, now retired, confronted Ronnie he was told to "f*** off".

On Thursday, at Stirling Sheriff court, the Crown ditched the racist part of the charge but Sheriff Andrew Cubie convicted Ronnie of breach of the peace and fined him £150.

Last night, he said: "To be convicted for revving my car in a busy street is hard to take. Does this mean anyone driving a noisy car in Scotland is now a criminal?"

Following the row last September, police officers arrived at Ronnie's home and asked him to come with them to talk about the incident. He ended up being kept in a cell for two nights before being taken to court where he was released without charge.

He complained to the fiscal and the new charges surfaced months later. He said: "The police kept me in custody over the weekend because I made the mistake of swearing at a senior officer."

In court, Mr Maigel, 28, then a student at Stirling Uni, said: "The driver came alongside and was trying to annoy us by revving his engine very, very loudly."

Using an interpreter, Hana Saad, 23, said he had degraded them "maybe because we are Muslim".

Ronnie claims he was only trying to prevent the repeat of a engine problem had had suffered earlier with the Esprit.

He said: "I've had problems with the Lotus since I bought it. I paid £15,000 for a new engine in 2003.

"As soon as I started the car the oil pressure light wouldn't go out. I accept I revved the engine - it's a V8 twin turbo and is noisy and frightening.

"I would openly apologise to this couple. I am not a racist."

He is now considering an appeal against his conviction - and also plans to sell the Lotus. He said: "It has been nothing but trouble."

Please do use it. I was thinking that too, but I just posted my brand new tag line and didn't want to switch.

The Islamo virus is spreading and apparently cross breeding with the politically correct virus and that spells pandemic in ANY language.

My prophecy for Europe. Latent communists will advance their hold on government by pitting the disorganized majority whites against all the organized minorities and perverts. Eventually a three-way fight will break out after the latent communists begin a campaign of extreme cruelty, killing, of majority whites to seize final control over Europe. They will then face a bloody conflict with Muslims who seeing an opportunity will strike against all infidels to capture control. Finally, the disorganized whites will have a few heroes arise in their midst to lead them in a bloody war against Muslims and Communists. The Muslims will be driven out. The unfortunate tragedy is the Communists will surrender when they begin to lose. They will have killed a lot of innocent individuals. But, when they surrender, the remaining individuals will forgive and let the Communists survive to fight another day. The cycle repeats.

Crimes soon coming to the UK:

I'm waiting for the lawsuit when someone is charged for dating in a racist manner

Some Muslim's feeling will be hurt when some woman says no to his/her advances and she/he takes them to court.

If there isn't any multiracial dating in their background they will be found guilty as charged

Ah... The REAL reason for electric cars. They are less racist.

"He tried to annoy us by revving his engine very loudly' Isam Maigel"

Good for him.

[headsonpikes]

Take off your rose-tinted glasses!

[BenLurkin]

Is this for real?

[Eclectica]

Tell me again: what "race" are Muslims?

well, I know of a car dealership that might be willing to buy his racist Lotus:Car dealership's 'jihad' to begin 'fatwa Friday'

[SWAMPSNIPER]

That does it, I won't pop any more wheelies on my motorscooter!

[donmeaker]

No, only particular morons get to be chief inspector there!

[Sensei Ern]

Imagine if he had to deal with the curse of the Were-VW Rabbit!

[Mr. Mojo]

That could easily happen in the not-too-distant future.

Easily.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Back in the sixties some black men used "white guilt" to get white women to go to bed with them, calling them racists if they didn't.

It worked best with liberal gals.

[Mr. Mojo]

I wonder if this guy revved his Lotus next to some white Muslim (like Ibrahim Hooper, Johnny Walker Lindh, or Adam Gadahn) if the same charges of "racism" would be brought up. Many of today's liberals seem utterly confused about what constitues a "race" of people. I've seen anti-French, anti-gay, and anti-feminist sentiments all described as "racist" recently.

Tell me again: what "race" are Muslims?

Race is an arbitrary classification. There are Muslims of various races. But many of them aspire to be the race of cut-throats.

[Cymbaline]

That would make a great tagline!
