T4 Signing on (MY02 WR Blue WRX and a couple of extras)

Spotted this weekend were as follows (All Sunday) - saw a new STi8 twice on Sunday. First time was on Ampthill road with a lady driving it. 2nd time was at the Retail Park (same woman now sitting in passenger seat) hubby now at the controls. Wasn't sure about the new looks when I first saw this model at the motor show, but now having seen on the road, it's fair to say that I wouldn't mind having one!

White Classic STi at twin roundabouts on Bromham Rd - seen a few other times outside Bathroom and Kitchen place further into town.

Blue Classic Nr Junct 13 M1 - think he had his Mrs and kid in the motor, happy is not a word I'd have used!!

Yes I agree about the cameras on the Clapham bypass - my raod angel spotted them very nicely first time down there! Vey surprised there are none on the 509 from Chicley to Newport Pagnell yet!

PS alsp watch out for impemding cameras on the A422 goining west from Buckigham on the new stretch of dual carriageway!

Morpheous Geodesy Plus v Road Angel, well, lets get a meet together so we can discuss the pro's and cons, and PLEASE let's not meet at the interchange with the Nova Kids, how about a country pub. Lets have your thoughts on a meeting place and then we can put a date to it.
ps, I need a device to help keep me my licence!!!!!, someone has already suggested a lightweight right shoe!

If anyone is still interested please look at the Southern section Events where a Herts, Beds & Bucks meet is being organised, maybe we can meet up and go down to Redbourne in convoy.

The Road Angel is very good - nice 500 yd warning of known cameras & blackspots so that you can chek your speed is correct. Had one problem early but the people over in Silverstone swaped my old unit for a new one and were very nice. Very simple to use.

Only draw back is it can't spot mobiles of course'cause it is a GPS system and hence a navigation aid.
