    << Andy, did you spot the Corsa just off the A876 at the BP station? How the hell do you flip a car off an almost straight road!?!?! >>

    Yup, just caught it out of the corner of my eye. No idea how the hell that ended up there.

    << that sounds like your asking santa to use employ the skills of a clever IT consultant? >>

    Nah - I already offered to improve the Scottish Scoobies presence on the web and st3ph3n offered to help too. The response was considerably colder than a polar bear's left testicle.

    SANTA CRUISE 2005 PICS:IN MEMORY OF LOGAN DRINKWATER

    I've had a wee offline chat with Billy about putting together another photovid, this time for the 2005 Santa Cruise. We both think it's a good idea if for no other reason than when newcomers in the run-up to next Xmas ask what it's all about (as I and many others did this year) then there is something to point them to that covers and conveys the spirit of the event.

    I'd like to get this finished in the next few days so if you haven't uploaded photos yet please do so if you want them included. If anybody has and does NOT want their photos included, please PM me. Otherwise - watch this space!

    Do the cops ever do theyre job?

    << Not all are like that mind!i was pulled last weekend for over talking in 60 into 30 zone.the officer very nicely said 2 watch my driving in a built up area,i stated that i was within the legal limit,indicated,and didn't coz anyone to brake or put any-other motorist at risk.he just looked at me, smiled and said "we'll just leave it at that" before walking back 2 his motor.face-icon-small-smile.gif >>

    Was he on his own? If so, he can't do you under Scots law without corroboration. They can in Engerland, but not in God's country. If he was on his own then he satisfied his ego trip and went on his way.

    As sent tonight.

    For The Personal Attention of The Chief Fire Officer, Central Scotland Fire Service.

    Sir,

    I write with regard to an incident tonight involving not one, but two near collisions between a Central Scotland Fire Service Vehicle and my car due to dangerous, inconsiderate, selfish, ILLEGAL and, frankly, moronic driving by a member of your personnel.

    The incident happened around 17:15hrs at the Bowtrees Roundabout. I had travelled up the A905 and, in heavy traffic, was sitting waiting in the outside lane at the roundabout, clearly indicating my intention to turn right onto the A876 towards Kincardine.

    Obviously not wanting to waste time in the queue of traffic also wishing to turn right, a white transit van highly liveried in Central Scotland Fire Service decals, registration number Y116 BMS came up the inside lane (which is clearly marked left turn and straight ahead only). He attempted on the roundabout to swerve across into the outside lane and cut me up, almost colliding with the side of my vehicle. I sounded my horn to let him know I was in the outside lane of the roundabout (where I should have been) and he pulled away only to repeat the process seconds later, this time forcing his way into the outside lane to turn right. This highly dangerous manoeuvre when he knew fully I was alongside him not only caused him to almost collide with me again, but forced me to brake sharply to avoid collision and very nearly caused the car behind me to collide with me also.

    This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE from a representative of the Emergency Services. Be it officer or civilian driver, whilst in a liveried Fire Service vehicle they are representing Central Scotland Fire Service and at very least should show an example to other road users. Just because he was in a white van, it does not give him an excuse to drive like a white van delivery driver.

    He can consider himself very lucky I am not reporting this matter to the Police. I trust you will have suitable words. While you're at it you may also like to advise him that if he's going to drive like a moron then at least do it in something a bit less conspicuous.

    Regards etc...

    My mate says I'm being too hard. I say he deserves it for driving like a f***wit and almost causing not one, but two accidents. you decide.

    << keith michaels were also cheapest for me.

    just joined up with them this week. >>

    I'd look into them, but from what I've seen on the forums, it's easier to gain access to Fort Knox than it is to the members forums on this site to actually get the details. Something to do with this "new software" that I've heard mentioned time and time again as coming soon to a PC near you for months and months and months ad infinitum - yet in the words of Del Amitri - Nothing Ever Happens.
