There is a police speed trap south bound on the A404 Marlow bypass at the moment. There is a layby half way down and there is an artic parked in there with a van in front with a camera in front of the van. Beware

Sneaky beggers! is that from M.head to Marlow, or Wyombe to Marlow? I think I was taking it easy this morning - I hope so anyway!

Thanks for the warning Paul. Why choose that stretch of road I wonder? - dead straight, only 1 exit, very few accidents (as far as I am aware). Obviously cant be for "revenue collection" cos they dont do that!

Cheers for the info...B@stards! So easy to pick up speed on that downhill stretch!
I' m surprisingly pleased with the Seat, Quite fun to drive once the traction control's switched off, and it's surprised a lot of people who don't expect to get whooped by a Seat Will hang on to it for a while until funds/house thing sorts itself out, then I'm pretty sure I'll be back to Scooby ownership!

How's the Grale?

It is too easy to get speed up on the A404 it's a nice straight road with a hill to build speed up. Normally the police sit on the bridge over the marlow junction but now they are doing this. Luckily I never use that stretch of road and use the old road instead because it is more exciting and faster

'Grale is playing me up I have a few electrical problems I need to sort but with it getting dark at night and my garage having no light I am finding it hard to find the time and light to look at it.

Is that the road from Handy Cross down to Marlow Bottom? If so, it's a great one for a cheap adrenaline rush

Shame the Grale's got Gremlins, be nice to see it on the road again...

Thats the one it leads down to my house and I know it very well. I remember scaring astraboy in my old XR4I down there last year I have only completed 100 miles of the running in period in the lancia so far. If you want to meet up sometime (which would be cool ) just drop me a mail to paulandcat@tiscali.co.uk because my work email is down

Cheers

Never thought I'd say it but....luckily the office has just moved to Slough Used to travel along there at least twice a day.

The question of 'why' is a pertinant one though - it can only be to line their pockets. No other reason.
