Here Bazza - He's just ignoring us now

He's just replied to another post so it won't be long now

Nice one Jac - a fellow 4-stringer B) What Bass(es) have you got ? I've got a :tsktsk: old Westone Thunder 1-A and a gorgeous neck through 24 fret Ibanez SR-2000 in a really deep blue with gold fixings :) :)

Still no sign and it's 8 mins now :iraqi-info-minister:

What's the difference between a cross country run and Jamie Oliver... One's a pant in the country........

I presume your boss is female :P :P

That he is a complete ar$e who is full of himself

Oh dear.... Got a new boss started this week, thought he was a complete ar$e right from the word go because he was playing the big "I am" - Get me this, get me that, I want an executive chair for my office, I want a private parking space blah blah blah. And do you know what - He drives a poxy R-reg BMW convertible :tsktsk: Just confirms what I originally thought :P :P

No councillor in Bromley has any right to moan about anything that anyone else in the world does- the amount of Bromley tax payers money that they allow to be wasted is scandalous I wish it had have been me - I would have left the :tsktsk: in tears

"Go forth and enjoy" - Dobbin 06:03 :P

No probs mate ;) ;)

Ryan Do you mean this one here Because that was only February this year and it is as I said....

Blimey that can't be the worst because that's what I got and I didn't answer yes to all the questions (Ok so maybe I did to quite a few ;) ) Glad to know I've got company with Zee :zee: Downright Nasty: You're not just a law breaker, you're a pretty evil person… Some of those things you have done are gonna put you on a one way escalator going down when your time is up. Give up hope of changing, you're a lost cause! Based on your answers, we have calculated the maximum penalty for your crimes*: Years in prison: 132 Potential fine: £9500 Plus a possibility of the death penalty!

The only loophole that I'm aware of and hasn't been closed down is this:- When they send the form requesting ID of the driver, fill it in but don't sign it (you are not legally obliged to do so)! Without a signature it not admissible evidence in court and without positive ID of the dirver they can't do you. I wouldn't bother writing to anybody about it because it won't do any good at all - you were only doing 35 in a 30 so it'll be a fixed penalty and 3 points. Remember that ignorance of the law is no defence so they won't take any "I'm new to the area" type rubbish. I know it's annoying when it happens and it's a bitter pill to swallow but it's not like you just committed a murder or something :P Just put it down as a bad experience and move on !! ;)

Sacre bleu Vince You could have warned us how disgusting it looks - I nearly revisited my breakfast

HEAR - HEAR The voice of reality speaks at last :P

Peeps This looks quite an impressive piece of kit Find it here

Totally agree Why have a system that is so intrusive as to take control AWAY from the driver. If you are pulling away from a junction and suddenly lose power, because the traction control has kicked in to prevent the wheels spinning, you are exposed without sufficient power for a longer time than if the wheels spun and you controlled it with a moderate lift of the accelerator to get grip (or just nail it to keep the power slide going!!) I was always taught that you should feel what the car is telling you and act accordingly - if you do this and suddenly an intrusive traction control system cuts in without warning how can you tell what to do? More gas or less and when to apply it ? You just don't know because you haven't a clue when the system is going to cut in or out. Pathetic system I always turn off the TRC as soon as I get in the IS300 becuase I like the car too much to have my driving enjoyment spoiled by it. By the way you shouldn't be driving fast enough in the wet for the TRC to be cutting in. And, I can't see why you would have to tell the Insurance comapny if you turned it off permanently - if this was the case then you would have to phone them every time you chose to push the button and turn it off Just my 2p's worth

Just found this on the net - thought it might be useful... Laser Jammers and the Law There is no law as yet regarding the purchase of a Laser Jammer or the fitting of one on a motor vehicle. However the first arrest was made in February 2003 regarding the use of a Laser Jammer. The person was arrested for "Perverting the course of Justice" This offence is very serious and carries 7 years in Jail. It is normally used to deal with people that are caught out telling lies to get away with something or gain something without actually going to court and perjuring themselves in the witness box. Usually, the offence used to deal with interfering with speed trap readings or the speed traps themselves, such as large notices before the trap advertising its position and it is in operation, would be 'Obstruction of Police in execution of duty'. I would imagine that because this chap was deemed to be actively employing a system to purposefully demonstrate his ability to avoid prosecution, that the officer stopping him, used the offence of Perverting Justice to justify his arrest. Obstruction of Police has no power of arrest unless it is used in conjunction with the General Power under Sect 25 PACE 1984 Perverting Justice is an indictable offence (Crown Court only and very expensive). Obstruction of Police is a visit to the Magistrates Court only and is much cheaper

Had an excellent time racing Rod Stewart in his Diablo, when I was in my DB7. Passed him on the A1 then he took the bait. We stopped at some lights at South Mimms roundabout and he complimented me on my car so did the same in return (wanted to compliment him on his choice of women, Penny Lancaster was with him, but my missus would have gone mental ;) ) Then after a couple of "off the line getaways" at the lights around the roundabout he asked if I wanted to go for it at the last set before the M25 Sure enough we did and had an excellent race until we got into the usual M25 moving car park. Nice bloke - they even gave us a wave when he pulled off at his turning :)

Totally agree B) So, you can imagine my surprise when my local dealer (Hadleigh) beat Kwik Fit (and all the others) by nearly £30 a tyre :o

Citroen C5 - What a blobby P.O.S they are

Yeah, as long as they get rid of that presenter who sounds like he's trying to squeeze one out everytime he speaks

That's almost a Concours winner - what are you worried about

It's America, what did you expect ?? They can't be bothered with plain old stick shift :P
