Who would actually risk putting plates on from an identical car??

Remember, you will be stitching up a fellow Scoobie Owner!

Find something on the other side of the road and put that in my GPS as a point of interest.

Good point Pete, and given the number of friends you have around here you might want to keep your plate secret

If having a different opinion to you is trolling then its a new one on me!!

I would guess Trolling is allready not allowed on SN? I may have strong views and I'm not afraid of airing them .... thats NOT trolling! They are genuine beliefs!

It would be a sad, lonely, site if the Moderators squashed all differing opinions - whether they disagreed with them or not! It would end up very **** (you would probably think that would be spiffing!?)

Thats easy, I don't speed ...... the Police know I don't, so they would be looking for the clone car!!

Anyway, I believe in keeping my car standard ..... no-one on here could possibly pass their modified toys off as my car!!

same as i do now. I have never owned a radar/laser detector, i think that keeps me out of trouble more than if i had one in the car and started to rely on it.

You obviously don't know how to use the search facility! But don't worry the whippersnappers always know how to use the pesky computer things better than the old-timers, nothing to be ashamed of.

Talking

Do what I do now. Dont speed on roads I dont know, its mostly my companies time in some dull hire car when I drive roads I dont know, so Im in no hurry. Other than that, I dont own a detector now, I know where all the scameras are on the roads I do know. So I approach at whatever speed, drop anchor(Elise brakes are good ), drive past the scamera at the speed limit, change down to the best gear to get me back up to speed as quickly as possible, and boot it back up to the speed I was going, or faster because of the time I lost when I braked for the scamera

I speed, and I drive sensibly with more care and attention that most people I know. I've not been caught speeding, I've not killed anyone, and I've not had a bump. Regardless of whether I have a camera detector or not.

I'll still speed. There are times and places to do it. You obviously subscribe directly to "Tony's Speeding Newsletter".

Does the Brunel university teach it's students where to put capital letters as well? Is there any reason to have a capital 'B' on 'banned'?

And if, while you are being a completely selfish 4rsehole. you kill a child - how will you word your pathetic response then???

This is the exact tw4tty behaviour the world wants to stop - the quicker we get you off the roads the better!
