Silver Classic, Girvan main St around 3pm today (1st). You just reveresed parked. I was oggling you from the other side of the street on foot with the missus. Spotted the SIDC sticker!

Yes, it was a very small device, with what looked like two lenses coming out of it, a bit like a pair of square binoculars with a little LCD readout on the side. He did say that they can pinpoint the one car. I guess its whatever the law states regarding two cars in the frame. I'm sure you'd know better than me!!! Well, assuming your traffic that is??

I know the feeling mate!

Enjoy and get a Scoobie!

Same here.

Nice pics mate... I'm not on here. MY06 WRX Rally Decals, got any?

Oh I like that!

Now, there's a man who knows what he's talking about! Tony the Tiger taught me everything i know Grant, what would I get with a sports cat, uprated fuel pump and a remap? MY06 WRX - just incase you forgot!

Duncan, what is with the flurry of posts lately? Given up your job?

Welcome mate, hope you have fun! enjoy your car.

Oh man! What a mess with the car and the police handling of the situation so far. Hopefully as mentioned, it's jsut procedure and the scum who did this will get taken down. Note to Stephen: How did you get the B-word in your post mate?!!

Now, there's a man who knows what he's talking about!

Yeah, I intend to change it ASAP... NOT!!!!!

The spacing: instead of S600 XXX mines is S600X XX. The lady said that she'd trust me to change it and no fine or ticket was necessary!

Hmmm, 250 metres or there abouts.

Well that sounds pretty true to what the officer said, though he didn't give me as much info as that. He just said that he could pinpoint me with his device regardless of the other car's presence. Maybe he was just giving me a bit of flannel so that I'd not think of that excuse should I get caught again. The officer was really nice though and smiled when he said "we have a heart". Anyway, I got lucky, I just hope I am two times lucky with the scamera incident. What is "road furniture locus"?

I always drive sensibly!

There were at the Gorbals, gone now. I passed them another couple of times, very gingerly. Stephen, I have the RA plus with the detection thing built in. I guess the narrow focussed beam of the cops gun was trained on another part of the car, so pretty useless I guess. On my way home a couple of hours later, while driving on eggshells I opeted out passing a bus on a two lane road, cause by the time I would have been passing I'd have been in the bend. However, this did not stop the red Focus behind me doing that very thing, so I beeped at him as he sped passed me IN the corner only to realise it was full of cops!!!!! I got the evil eye further up the road when sitting at a red light! I feel I am getting a message of sorts! Did someone say scooter? Maybe that is way to go!

Can't belive this! Still sweating over the result of being scamerad and now pulled by traffic. Turn right into the main road car to my right does the same thing, we are side by side, she pulls away, I follow suit. We are pretty much side by side, and lo and behold, Mr White Cap steps onto the road and waves me down. I tried the "oh I'm taking my dad to the hospital" line which was true, but since it was a fixed appointment, he stated that it was not an emergency and does not warrant my speeding. Anyhoo, he said that since the other car was alongside me it was still possible for his device to get a pinpoint fix on mine, so that there was no mistake. He then said to my utter amazement "It wouldn't be fair to charge you for speeding and not the other driver, so I'm letting you go with a ticking off and saving you three points on your licence, we do actually have a heart you know." All that on top of getting stopped by traffic last week for spot lights and number plate... I think I'll stay at home for a long time!!! Note to Road Angel users: again, the device did not respond to the camera being trained on me.

Welcome mate. Enjoy your time here.

Yeah. I really need a little more power! It's a toss up between a map with some choice bits or PPP. PPP has its disadvantages, not least the cost, but the plus side is it keeps my warranty intact. However, after speaking to a few people, I'm going to screw the warranty and go down the alternative route. All I need now is some dosh! I think I'll have to put my treble winning autographed Celtic shirt on eBay! Didn`t take much convincing John [:#] don`t tell the wife. I`ve seen and heard you every time you come off a trackday, I NEED MORE POWER, well its only a credit card away m8 [] If the wife asks just tell her, we said everybody does it. It also makes me feel better that im not the only one up to my ears in it. And think yourself lucky that you have a Celtic treble winning top to flog on flea-bay, me, all i had was an Airdrionians Texaco cup runners up programme to flog. Bet you feel better now John ! p.s. i`m of to the fridge for another can [+o(] Marty LOL! As tempting as all that sounds, I do however value my life! If I hit the CC for a grand or so, I'd be hung drawn and quartered! I have just spent a fortune moving house on top of the £4K I have already spent on the car sine getting it a year ago, hence the lack of funds. It's just a matter of time now, but time means waiting and waiting sucks!

ScoUK, you're a genius! And a very brave one at that! I LOVE this idea of more fun and better economy, some of that please! Pete, you just convinced me more to screw the warranty. I sent an e-mail to Andy F to see what he thinks, then its a case of rasing the dosh. Dunc, I think I'll hang onto the Kidneys for a bit yet!

Cheers ma man!
