PAUL CRAFTS

Thanks for the good company mick & jackie, we really enjoyed it, we saw the scoob get pulled too but we was on a roll with the wind behind us, see you all next week, paul&debs

oh dear was stopped on a clear section of the motorway not a car in sight at WAIT FOR IT .................................................. .........................84.1mph t0553r5 I have now 9 points after shaking off 3 not 2 weeks ago hope i can make it till september without another incident can anybody tell me were i stand if i get pulled again because i depend on the car for work./ the copper was of shall i say( ) sarcastic and was teaching me how to proceed in a prompt manner back on the motorway witch i did by kindly showing him a AWD prompt take off and moving a few stones on to the front of his car .................................................. ........................Then got pulled again bollocked and timed it right to see all in his polo




on a last note its ironic i was talking to miss/mrs corradoboy (helen) today about what we thought of those dithering so and so's that do about 28mph were ever they go and the proper time to speed whoops (oh and my mums given me a right rollocking....,every time you go on those track days something happen e.t.c e.t.c)



i for 1 will not change my views on the correct time to speed and in my eyes that was one perfect example



PLEASE DO NOT POST TO TELL ME THAT THE SPEED LIMITS ARE THERE FOR MY SAFETY AND I WAS IN THE WRONG OR ILL BE FORCED TO HUNT YOU DOWN WITH A PACK OF ONE LEGGED SPACE PIGIONS AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT!

MickWrx

Look at previous threads lol..

Me and Sticky passed you while you were on the hard should, helping the officer with his enquiries a good bit after you pulled away from us with a wave.

Was struggling to see how Paul and Al passed you, but that will be because you got pulled twice

no preaching from me mate, allthough we did stick to the speed limit

Damn, where did all this take place...I didn't see one Copper all the way home?

scg

Top tip Jak - have your rear bumper flapping in the wind, it's a great way of making sure you pootle along at 60 all the way home.

Sorry to hear about your points it's a joke and let's face it if you were in a micra you wouldn't have been pulled.

Good to meet you fella anyway, see you when I'm all patched up

@scg Were you the ones that arrived bang on 7am at the Brickworks this morning (Just trying to put faces to nicks )

JAKbauer24

or doing 84mph

Alan C

Harsh mate... BTW, your second pull away was also a little 'positive'..... It kicked up lots of dust which could be seen further than the blue lights...

I didn't mention that I didn't think you'd spotted me as I passed... as soon as I realised you had when I saw the FPN pressed against the window alongside your half cheesy grin..

How long do 3 points last?

JAKbauer24

3 years ive got 6 that expire in nov 06 after the worst month of my life in nov 03 1 sp30 1failing to adear to a traffic sign and a bent scoob

PAUL CRAFTS

The three points last 3 years, debs got pulled for speeding last week an got three points an £60 fine.

Alan C

I have a lot of respect for Police (as some may know) but this kind of attitude to doing 84 on a pretty empty Motorway in very good conditions is beyond me...

It's really this type of Policing that starts people off with the 'aren't there some real criminals to be caught?' comments....... Easy prey and an easy target.. if it had been a true 90+ then I probably wouldn't be stepping up to argue... neither if it had been the first three points.... but handing out another 3 to someone on 6 makes Scameras look like a decent option...

Seems like all had a good day, few mishaps, thanks to CB and All peeps who made it happen..

Cheeky!!!

I had a scoob once too you know! Look at my joined date you whipper snapper lol!

As has already been mentioned, absolutely top day if a little chilly.

Big thanx to Dave and others for all the effort in making this happen

Also big thanx the Mark for assisting with changing my wheels but more importantly for noticing the locking wheel nut key still sitting in the locking wheel nut, after I'd been on track 3 times getting the track wheels off could've proved very interesting if it hadn't been for his sharp eyes,

Looking forward to september when I will hopefully have some track day tyres that actually have some grip

Sticky Stuff

But you've now seen the light and moved up in the world

Sticky Stuff

You've not seen the X then

scoobywnt

I couldn't possibly comment


And I have to say if the X IS really as the pictures I've seen..............It's very very gay!

corradoboy

I have, in the tin and having read the article in Evo this month about the Evo9 mule running the new X devilry it sounds even more enticing. Apparently during snow slalom testing, the X running gear is faster on snow whilst set to tarmac than the 9 is set on snow IYGWIM and by some margin. They say it's gonna redefine turn-in, cornering and grip levels

scoobywnt

Sorry lads in my opinion. Mitsi have lost the plot, well tbh they lost the plot after the VI. But hey, I would say that wouldn't I???

Sticky Stuff

So the plot is no longer to produce an incredibly capable and stunning looking machine then?

corradoboy

Although the X, and Evo's in general are incredibly capable, I have my own misgivings about the electronic assistance which makes these cars so capable. My passion is for driving, and when the driver becomes secondary in the equation as to how a car performs then something is lost. It's this which has me yearning to drive RWD again, and had I sold the Scoob recently, before I got back behind the wheel of another I planned to have a play with some RWD driving machines such as the M-Coupe or 350Z. Cars which ultimately may well be beaten on track or road by any Scoob or Evo, but give satisfaction and excitement in spades to a true driver, rather than flatter those whom may not be capable by doing much of the work for them. Of course, I do love my Scoob, and eagerly await the opportunity to drive another Evo, especially an X whenever that may be as they are still awesome cars.


Was that waffle, or did I make any sense

mpt

A big thanks to Dave & everybody for organising & running the day.

Thanks to Barry too for the hot laps, you don't realise how tight some of those corners are from the sidelines, especilly the hair pin with the big tyres, eh Barry.
I will have to get out there next time in one car or another.

I had to pick some stuff up from Linclon on the way back so left abit early, but past Simon on the way back just joining the M62, and noticed a dent on the side, hope it as'nt too bad.

Mark.

scoobywnt

Capable, I'm sure it will be, stunning in the looks department it definately wont be!!!!

Evos have never been lookers, purposeful yes, nice to look at, NEVER!!!!


Sorry for the off topic guys!

donaldmac

Just like to post my thanks to you all for organising an excellent day. Shame about the cold wind as it meant it wasn't much good for standing around chatting in between runs.

I will definitley be up for it in september, the sooner a date is sorted the better.

In the meantime its back to pondering what is the most cost effective way of having maximum fun. How long can I risk the sensible family estate (blue wagon) before we have some problems or is it time to get a track only car on minimum budget????
