the squiggle

Here mate, people slag my cars bodykit all the time. So much so it is now water off a Duck's back and beauty is only skin deep as they say Addison, come down to a Gla meet sometime. We do an newbie introduction at our meets so everyone gets to put a face to a user name As far as the formation of wee groups occuring, sometimes this is down to it being the first oppertunity friends have seen each other, or more importantly thier car, for some time. I have frequented these forums for a good few years now and have made friends with numerous people through that time, moral is stick in there mate as we were ALL newbies at one point or another.

I concur with the above Borderline Carstairs case i reckon

The camera's they were using were not the same as i have seen them use before for road tax detection Both the Laguna and Impreza passed me at a fair rate of knots hence my line of thinking

Righto,this morning at about 11ish going down the old 74 between Blackwood and Lesmahagow. At the roundabout leading to the sliproad onto the M74 southbound there were 4 marked traffic vehicles. I turned right to go over the motorway and there was a Honda CR-V in Silver with an amber light on the roof fitting parked up over looking the motorway, parked behinfd the Honda was an unmarked Police BMW 3 series in Dark Blue. Between the Honda and railning over looking the motorway was a gentleman in plain clothes and 2 devices on tripods opointing at the southbound lane. Same again at 4pm northbound only this time it was a Burgandy Large Ducato/Citreon/Fiat type van and parked at the flyover at Abington services. Again Police Beemer behind it, 1 gentleman in plain clothes and 2 devices pointing at the northbound lane. Only seen the 1 marked car sitting up the sliproad but about 2 or 3 miles up the road a Laguna had been pulled and just before Happendon an Impreza had been pulled, Impreza passed me just as we crossed the Lanarkshire border. Seems they are having a major blitz on the stretch between Strathclyde Park and Crawford. Usually they sit either on the bridges over looking the M74 at various points but they usually do it in a heavily marked large Ducato style van but this technique is a new one to me, maybe some of friendly local boys in fetching blue may know, and reckon its worth a heads up to anyone heading onto the M74 for England-cester-shire Also seen the unmarked Beemer prowling and snaring drivers on this particular stretch of road May well be entirely innocent and they are only checking immigration visas and tyre tread depth on the way past or they could be acting like right sneaky and possibly illegal manouvers Due to my van been governed now to a pathetic indicated 75mph i have nowt to worry about , apart from no seat belt, 1 tonne of Columbians finest marching power in the back along with about 84 and a half illegal immigrants from the South Pole, dunno might be penguins aint checked on them for a while coould possibly be dead now, and a stash of Ak-47s heading for a housing scheme near you. If i spot them at it again next i will stop and take picrtures of them in situ but in the mean time watch your speed if you are going to be heading a really long safe bit of road that is quite steep in parts or better still come off at Blackwood and head down the old M74. Crackingly quiet stretch of road that needs to be used more often Subaru related as it was an Impreza owner that was pulled and i see loads of Scoobs heading up and down that road, i wave at them but they never seem to wave back. I also look out for White Transits of either the Speedy Hire or Timbtra variety and even Black Vectra's with a special sticker on the back

All look special The Glegae skyline would be defo unique and stand out and the Red from the Japanese sun would give the car that burst of colour that is required 4 thumbs up for the effort from JC, bongo and indeed bongo

I like the fully open part Be very craeful with Dccd, it can be an awesome driver aid but it also has the ability to bite you on the bum

Thanks Ed Gmac is indeed correct Imy has been floating about cloud 9 with regards to her new flat. Pretty sure that Imy will be in touch when she returns to KP which has internet access Thanks again

Congrats to you both

Looks braw mate How much you looking for the MO's? Another cracker from Mr Chapman The Nipponese have the best public transit system in the world and this coupled with the worst city congestion in the world gives us UK punters some low mileage cast offs. Mine is a 96 sitting on 40000 miles and Jimser's Spec C has barely hit 14000 miles, god bless the Japanese How many Scoobs is now Geo? Oh and Jimser its Fried rice you plick and mind now that Hightower can do the 0-100 quicker than your Spec C wi the big whoosher be careful what you say

Welcome

Tis a really good demanding track with superb variations of corners Not for me though as the Merc Sprinters brakes could not cope

Jimser before he got his White birthday present for the last 3 weeks Jimser after his White birthday resent finally arrived

You put fake tan on just your butt, now thats wierd

Thought i will concede that you have one vely nice car indeed But you daughter is the work of pure evil, as you sure her father is not Christopher Lee, thats Christopher Lee not wee Kwok Fai Lee or DCI wee Kwok as he is sometimes known

Belated cr@p birthday to ya miserable old sod. And tae think you dont look a day over 65

I was lucky enough to get a wee shot behind the wheel and it is an absoloute animal std Believe the hype about Spec C's esp in bare bones motorsport form like this version. Must have the lightest car stereo in the world........ever 22000kms and she fells showroom new, all nice and tight but goes very well indeed Enjoy her mate she is defo a cracker

Apart from the wheels it looks as ugly as sin but as i sure know with this car beauty is only skin deep Now cheer up ya miserable trout 321................................................................T

Looks like a job well done Whats the plans for her?

In the words of Eric Cartman Ssssssswwwwwweweeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttt

......................and to think thats your slow car Imagine the shame if you had used the slightly quicker classic.

I like Esp the Shake and bake part. ps, cheers for the vid
