  1. I waited the 28 days then asked for the photo,still wasn't sure who was driving[]...,then waited another 28 days to tell them this.NIP came back again,i sent it back unsigned after another 28 days ,the local police came round and threatened me with a section s172 failure to supply details[:'(],so i said it was me that was driving as this is a seperate offence and didn't want that,so i then got the offer of a fixed penalty....I ignored this and waited on my day in court which never came as my case timed out...[]....The first diet has to be read out in court within 6 months of the offence taking place. P.S dont be frightened of going to court because even if you lose they wont increase the points,they will only increase the fine to about £100 and they cant award costs either way in Scotland!! Just remember those point are on for a long time ,let them prove it was you in the car!!
  2. Admit to nothing,MAKE THEM PROVE IT(the scamming gits)[:@],this is what they rely on, decent people putting their hands up and coughing up without question. Its a well known fact that these cameras are inaccurate........get yourself over to www.pepipoo.com (fightback forums) for some top advice. I got off with 81 in a 70 last year thanks to that site ,they tell you how to deal with it step by step!
  3. I feel for your loss,we lost our Rottie called Ben after 11 Yrs in November and it broke our hearts,he went really suddenly with a heart problem and we couldn't let him suffer,we stayed with him to the end and he knew we were there. Its just a sad day when their time comes but your pain will ease mate and you will always remember the good times!!(and the not so good times like when he wolfed my huge Toblerone)[] This is a wee poem i found at the time while surfing Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown... ..............John
  4. Some cracking photos in those sites,just changed my desktop......[] cheers for the heads up,....and bttt for more peeps to see them!!
  5. its tw*ts like them that ruin e-bay.seller is a cnut for doing it and the buyer is equally as thick for his inept inability to read ,Looking at the clowns previous feedback,i know i wouldn't be buying anything off him!!
  6. I got these on the group buy too,excellent choice of wheels[] and excellent price. Hope ye get sorted out soon! a few wee pics too keep ye going.
  7. I,ve had the bailey one on my 04 wrx for 8 months without a hiccup,sounds pretty good and ye can pick them up for pocket money!
  8. The first thing to do is wait the maximum amount of time before replying to them. Then on the 28th day send your correspondence special delivery ,so someone has to sign for it.The first thing is to write and ask them for the photos as you are not sure who was driving .They will probably send these .Always nice to keep as a souvenir of the event Though,The best thing to do is to post your details up on pepipoo and someone will take you through the process step by step (as there is a few routes you can go down).There is some very traffic law knowledgeable guys on there.You just keep opening the original post as you receive fresh correspondence from the scammers. Remember the more people that bog the system down with paperwork,the less people will be scammed.You have rights and can use the law in your favour.These cameras are a joke and have been repeatedly shown to be open to discrepancy. Hold your nerve and fight it all the way ,even if your unlucky enough to eventually get a court date (although it will proably get dropped before that)the worst that can happen is, that they prove you were speeding and increase your fine from £60 to about £100. They wont increase the points and costs cannot be awarded either way in Scotland. At the end of the day your only exercising your right to a fair hearing!
  9. These cameras make my blood boil, I got done with one just out side Glenrothes (A 92),81 in a 70 . The good news is that i got off with it thanks to some excellent advice from www.pepipoo.com . These cameras they are using are totally inaccurate and all ther doing is calling your bluff and getting people to pay up. I even got a visit from the local plod threatening me with a section 172 (failure to supply details) but held my nerve as i wanted my day in court . In the end the case timed out and it never happened,saving me 3 points and £60. So don't send anything back before getting advice from that site,it could save ye some points!
  10. Good ol' Firestorm,highly recomended,i've got one on my MY 04 and it sounds awesome and i'm sure the neighbours love it at 5AM.
  11. Thats the danger of track days,too many people who dont know their own limits or their vehicles limits,(Aqua -planing in the wet, now there's a suprise eh!)as for the subaru,well 99% of insurance companies will write that car off . Ive actually bought accident damaged cars with less damage than that.He could always tell his insurers it happened on a quiet road with no one else involved,not the honest thing to do ,but its that or cough up serious doh to fix. P.s Top Tip do not do track days with people who have track day cars,as you find people who need their cars for work the next day drive a whole lot safer than people with toys who dont! When they come on-you go off.
  12. Nice wee inch or two lying in Uddingston,i,m going out right now for a play ,now the industrial estate is nice and quiet!!
  13. Sorry for not replying sooner mate,i've not wanted to get out the car.I'll now need surgery to remove the permanent grin from my face. The exhaust is superb,i don't even bother with cd's now!Even the wife thinks its the bizz. As for the wee test drive mate ,you were more than welcome, Cheers once again............John m
