Did anyone see Clarkson on telly just now?

He was in Holland and he interviewed this guy who has a website called WWW.tuftufclub.com and he post incidents and pics of speed cameras that get blown up, shot, foamed, up-rooted, painted, etc. and this has apparently become a national pastime in Holland.(along with caravaning that is)

I thinks we should make this our national sport in the UK

I've seen a few that has been toppled over in anger. There was one on the way from Swindon to Oxford that was literally sawn off a few years back.

 

Excellent !!

 

It gets better. I think the camera was also stolen.

 

Toxteth 1 speed camera 0 (nicely barbacued)

 

IN Hawaii, there were so many incidents of vandalism against GATSO's and personal attacks on the operators of mobile photo-radar devices that they've withdrawn them permananently. Why didn't we think of that? Is it a co-incidence that handguns were banned and then GATSO's appeared? Hmmm? And just who was that on the grassy knoll with a radar gun?

 

I travelled from Chelmsford to Oxford on the A40(I think)and there were loads of cameras in various states of destruction.Most looked like they'd been attached to a moving JCB via a chain.Fantastic.

 

When I was at my folks in Scotland about 6 months ago there was a bit in the local paper about a new camera that had been installed in a local "accident black spot" that had a load of tyres thrown over it and torched!

It had only been up about 3 days or something!
