Police speed trap, bikes, cars, vehicle inspectorate etc etc.

Got nicked for failing to display tax disc, £60 fine.

Nice to see Hants police resources being used to such good effect.

Mr Plod said they were looking for people doing 90+, mobile users, seatbelts, car tax or unroadworthy.

The look on the faces of the vehicle inspectors when I pulled away, you could tell they were itching to take a look, but the cop that pulled me just waved me off.

Shane,

Long time eh? How you doin?
Shame on you for teasing the Vehicle Inspectorate, they should be spending their time pulling over innocent HGV's and generally harrassing us Transport Managers

Hows life without the 7 then? Ohh please make my day and tell me you sold it with over 50k miles on it - I've given in and parked mine up now, Mark is desparate for me to sell it but a, I can't bring myself to do it and b, and don't think it's worth too much now

Rach

I was Northbound on the M3 today (9.30), I think the 2nd or 3rd bridge after the Winchester services was a white van on the bridge. I was only doing 70 anyway, but people were steaming past me. As I got closer there were 2 tripods on the bridge covering both lanes with cameras mounted on them.

*******s.......

Hey Rach,

Yeah easily done 50k, 59,190 when I p/xed it.

Keith Price garages in Abergavenny are buying 7's for good money, provided you buy another car from them, should you ever decide to dump the old girl.

My car, once it got past 40k became a real bag of ****, rattling all over the place, suspension, interior etc etc
I just got so fed up with Sparshatts and Subaru UK giving me the run around that I just had to get shot, plus earache from the missus.

I would rather drive to taffyland and get the car serviced at a proper scoob dealer, although I may try that lot at Haslemere for the first service.

If I hear so much as one tiny rattle from this car's suspension then it's going straight back to the supplying dealer quicker than I drove the old one up there.

A happy missus, money in the bank and something nice to cruise up and down the motorways with.

Andy, look at my details.

Hope the S2000's going ok, although as it's a Honda that goes without saying.
