theres a brand new blue scoob on test by local police.
at the mo its running an uncalibrated speedo but full video stuff etc
a mate got playful with it last night-cost him 60 quid and 3 points
you have been warned
richie

 

good man - STI or WRX?

 

dont know for sure as yet what type but my mate was a bit lucky they hadnt calibrated the speedo.they may have after his little play.
richie

 

Police are feeling a bit flush arn't they.

Mind you. should be quite easy to spot, it'll be the only Scoob driving 'normally'

 

They will certainly not be having a "South Wales Scoobys" sticker off me anyway

 

Why would a calibrated speedo make any difference ? They obviously managed to FPN him without it, presumably using the video equipment ??

 

You got stickers then?

 

£1.50 each it's just the silver one's at the top

 

How much of a BHP does one of those give you then.

 

+40BHP so don't bother having a de-cat and a remap!!! I've 5 on mine so it should be running 530BHP

 

Think I'd need 10 then to give me a slender change of beating a Saxo.

 

You planning on out runing it if it is a WRX and holding up your hands if it is an STI?

 

Will they wave , That,s the question Holmes

 

I see you're based in Pencoed, where were they spotted, around Bridgend or elsewhere?

(I tend to give ALL my 258+ horses a run every morning on the way to work and back, which is in Bridgend )

 

Pencoed, were abouts I am in Glan Yr Afon Road. Are you up by the Meardy opposite the school, sometimes under a car cover????

Cheers Paul

 

i'm quietly confident of beating either

 

nah on the estate by the m/way bridge
dk blue leggy estate turbo with a 3in decat etc
richie

 

yes was bridgend area.dont know exactly whereabouts and as far as i know there was a little bit of baiting involved and quite high(unproven) speeds
im guessing its standard tho cos he was supposed to be pulling away from it when the blues came on.
richie

 

Surely that is what is called entrapment....... even if your friend had broken the speed limit he must have a case to fight against the points and fine he has recieved.

 

i think my mate is happy it wasnt a worse outcome.
as a complete aside not related etc how fast would a tweeked cooper s be if it was flat out in top with the speedo off the clock?
richie

 

Good job its not a T25 then

 

who knows what is round the corner though

 

Any ideas on a delivery date yet Sammy ?

 

I had a close brush with the law a few days ago on the A48 near Cowbridge. I was happily driving to work when a Silver Mondeo came screaming up behind me, must've been doing 80mph+ at least. He thought about overtaking me on a two-lane section but obviously didn't feel there was enough room so slammed on the brakes behind me.

As you would expect my intial thoughts were "Mondeo ST", I'm gonna leave him for dust, cheeky ****. However a sixth sense kicked in so I re-checked my rearview mirror and noticed 3 blokes in the car, all wearing white, short sleeved shirts.

As I rounded the next bend I thought about it again so looked one last time and noticed the little black bits on their shoulders so backed off the accelerator. He then went past me on another two lane section and stopped in front of me at the lights outside Bridgend Ford.

Low and behold, a small sticker in the back windscreen proclaiming "Constabulary Pursuit Training Vehicle".

Cheeky coonts. Good job I have a nose for bacon.

 

Bring some on Sunday... if that's ok..?

 

Spotted a unmarked Dark blue Mondeo ST??? in Magor services today, they were looking over an BMW M coupe and appeared to have the drvier in the back seat. Seen this car last year near the tunnels as well
