****** SORRY, obviously I meant Eastside...early morning etc.etc. *****


Hi All,

Blimey, sorry for the late notice - I can't believe it's November already!

Anyway, South Hants Pub Meet this time Portsmouth Side to allow the Southampton lot to have a quick blast down the motorway So, 10th Nov, about 7:45/8ish onwards at:

The Seagull
Cornaway Lane
Portchester
Fareham
Hampshire
PO16 9DB

Tel: 01329 237015

(Thanks Andy and Nick ) Map HERE. I'll give them a quick call later today to confirm it's ok Hopefully this can be our "Eastside" pub from now on

Southampton Lot - we'll be meeting at the Homebase car park in Hedge End just off junction 7 to cruise down there, meeting at 7:15 for a 7:30ish departure.

And whilst I'm here - can I just draw your attention to this: SIDC Santa-cruise, we're organising a Scooby run to some Childrens homes in Newbury/Reading with Scooby's full of Christmas pressies, so if you'd like to join in sign up on the thread or let me know, if you can't join in but would like to donate a Christmas pressie to someone less fortunate than ourselves bring it along to the South Hants Meet and I'll take it up with me We're looking for things like: crayons, pencils, colouring books, games, teddys, etc.

They're going to be for disabled as well as able kids - so anything you can spare would be fantastic...and as I know most of you are men, I'll wrap them up for you

Lastly - Christmas "Scooby-do", looking for a meal and then some drinks etc. afterwards, so if anyone's got some suggestions let me know. Need somewhere in the middle of P'mouth and S'ton and the only one I could come up with is that big pub off Junction 8 - does Chrismtas meal for £14.50 per head or something like that - good 'ol beefeater type thingy! Let me know if you guys can come up with anything else...

Anyway - I'm off to stalk Petter tomorrow (otherwise known as going to the WRGB WAHOO!), so I won't be back 'till late Sunday night. I can always be got on the mobile, so any burning issues don't hesitate to ring See you all Monday

Jen

Guys,

SPECS cameras are NOT on the M27. They are on the M4(new) and have been on the M6 round B/Ham for sometime. Basically they measure your average speed between a given distance, thats what I've been told by some very nice policemen who work the M6 !!
They are also VERY accurate and I know that my RoadAngel goes ballistic when I go through them (at 70mph) for several miles round the M6.

And Jen, don't worry - Landrovers don't go quick enough to interest SPECS ;D

All
Just in case any of you aint aware of the following, I got a note in work regarding speed cameras on the M27.
Scarey stuff, it means I cant get out of 2nd!

FYI


Just received this information, which I thought might be of use to you....

> The new electronic signs on the M27 were switched on by some transport
minister
on Tuesday 4th Nov. They are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras.

> SPECS is a camera based system. As you go past a camera software
> detects and reads your number plate. When you go past the next camera,
> it detects and reads your number plate again. It knows how far apart
> the cameras are so it can work out your average speed between the two
> cameras.
>
> The system is fully automatic and will automatically issue a ticket

Well, that's me screwed then... I was doing over a ton to scumhampton last night Late for something...

 

Thanks for the info mate. Is there any mnore info about these signs on the web. Would be a great help for everyone down south.

Nick

 

There are no specs on the m27

 

HMM methinkso not too

saw exactly the same word about another so called stetch of road...

thinks its a bit of a wind up..

hmm dosent Rach or Jen work for highways?? sureley they would know if somthing like was this was going down

if you wanna know how to defeat them




































































vote out the numpty at N0 10 next time round...

just tell him in a simple letter



kill the speed cameras or its no more living at the big house



Mart

 

"these are not speed cameras in the true sense but are used to work out vehicle average speed, they are connected to the DVLA and the Traffic police use mobile units and compare against previous information received from the cameras."

Thank god for that!
