  1. Welcome aboard and hope to see ya at a Moray meet.
  2. Broke mine coming off a bike in 1991 and it didn't show up on the x-ray. Went back after suffering for a few days and a 2nd x-ray picked it up. They did seem concerned and explained if it had been worse and not seen to properly at an early stage it could have lasting effects on mobility and use. Fortunately, it didn't need surgery, healed fine and hasn't been any bother.
  3. Ahhh twins, all makes sense now Hope ya had a good day guys.
  4. Hi Sal and welcome to the area. I'd recommend you call or drop by to speak to Dave at Bitz Motorsport at Nairn. I had my car serviced there in May and I know some of the others round here have to. They also offer a discounted rate for SIDC members so be sure to mention that too. Clicky to Bitz I'll be posting another Moray meet/run in the events section later today so hope to see you there if you can make it. Pete
  5. Black always comes up a treat - If all goes well maybe put mine in for a detail for the start of next summer.
  6. I was in the scoob, but was by the first one quite quickly and then was also parked up and in Zanre's waiting on some grub when I saw the others.
  7. While I was skulking aboot Peterheed last night (Monday) I saw thrice of blue scoobs. Just before 7pm, saw a blue bugeye STi at the end of the toon bypass opposite the Waterside Inn. Then just after 7pm, saw a blue blobeye STi pull up and park outside Mambo's on Queen Street while a blue hawkeye WRX (I think?) went by a couple of times while I was also parked on Queen Street.
  8. Great job guys, looking the mutts
  9. The new RO finally emerges... Sorry for the delay in chirrping up but I’ve been away all week. I’m on a residential course at the moment and getting home Friday night, only to be away again Sunday afternoon. Havng just finished the second of the four weeks I’ve already had 2 exams and practical 2 assessments but still have 2 more exams and 1 more assessent to go - not quite sure of the glass is half empty or half full tbh. As I’ll be away til nearer the end of the month I’ll not be about much but should be ready and rearing to go once back. As for ideas and plans, giving nothing away Anyhoo, thanks for the messages of support and to Al for the smooth transition. ‘mon the RO’s
  10. Welcome to the area and hope to see you at a local meet.
  11. Mmmm.... but with so many SS forums these days they be referring to anyone
  12. Been a while since I've had that hat on but suppose if it fits - bring on the rant You have a point Dale about all the idiots out there and speeding only being a factor and of course I agree with that. However, while some speeding may be only a factor it does tend to be the overriding one on most occasions hence it is prioritised. Additionally, all our work is targeted to some degree these days and if you're in the Tragic, sorry Traffic (can't get used to this 'Roads Policing' things yet) then obviously your entire work load will be motoring related. This leads to targeting which invariably will focus on casualty reduction as a priority, with fatalities naturally being the highest priority. So where do we find the highest proportion of likely candidates for speeding and causing or being involved in fatal or serious injury accidents. Well, it's not rocket science you look for folk in the Max Power and Barry Boys brigade, folk on faster than light speed bikes and yes, one or too on forums not dissimilar to this. Having selected your target audience you then make a big public song and dance about going to look for them, as in this case in a bid to deter as many as possible, you tell them basically where you're gonna be (as with fixed and most mobile cameras) and see what happens. Imho you then really have to be more of an idiot than the ones you first spoke of to be caught. That said there's a bit of a difference between a wee blast of what we call 'spirited' driving than dangerous, reckless or just those who drive considerably faster than me. So, while I accept most will moan about it all the time, I'd rather someone cut me up and scratched the paint, than hit me at stoopid speed and wiped me out. There'll always be the anti mob with anting like this but a wee bit common sense is often all that's needed. So never mind all this nonsense about collecting then pennies for minor offences as the driving force here, anyone that blatantly condones this sort of thing or believes that nothing should be done to stop it or make the roads safer for the rest of us, I'm sure we'd love to hear you thoughts behind that opinion. Similarly, I'm sure every force in the country will be open to suggestion on how to deal with these issues with out actually doing anything about it that may upset offenders, cos let's face it they're the only ones likely to be on the receiving end of such a campaign. Judging by the lack of posts it would appear that SIDC members managed to pretty much go unnoticed during the target weekend - funny that eh. Very seldom I chirp up on topics like this these days but hey-ho, anyhoo 'my wings are like a shield of steel' so bring on the flames -
  13. This is just one part of much wider and existing campaign aimed mainly at motorcycles. It would apear that (in our area anyhoo) that while they make up 2% of the motoring population they accounted for 26% of fatalities here last year. Regardless of personal opinion of scamera vans and the like I would imagine most motorists would prefer to at least reach their desination and any attempt to reduce deaths can't be all bad. That said anyone not driving like a tw4t shouldn't even notice this 'crackdown'
