McDonald Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Driving from work in Birmingham to our cottage in Somerset, I got pulled for speeding. It was the weekend when Charles married Diana. A motorway policeman pulled me over and gave me a ticket for 101.4 mph. I was driving a Datsun 260Z. About four months later my wife was driving back from the cottage to work in Birmingham, me in the passenger seat. On the same stretch of motorway, the same policeman issued a ticket for 104.1 mph. I was fined £70.00 and three points. My wife hired a solicitor. She was fined £100 and three points. Those were the days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I got nicked on the M5 in my new Sierra Cosworth. Luckily (according to the two policemen that pulled me) I was doing 94.5mph. If i had been doing 95mph it would have been a ban. When I said I thought they were mistaken anyway (they were) they said "On the other hand we can say you were doing over 95mph. What would you like us to say?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T24RES Posted December 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Perhaps Police related matters in other vehicles or occasions might be kept for the 'lounge' ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) This morning I checked the Optimate connection was good (which it was) and took a picture of the frosty boot lid as I defrosted the tin top for my wife!

Lonewolfgjp Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I ve been playing round with some GT4 style side scoops. I m just trying to decide if they need painting white or to try them in black? These are just some test fit pictures and I have already got the white in stock but I quite like them in black. What are your thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Black for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I like the the idea of contrast but they are quite obvious, especially against your wheels so think it needs blending in to match the paint and then I like it 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t expensive and fully reversible as I’m not drilling the body so I thought I would give them a go😂 12 minutes ago, daz05 said: I like the the idea of contrast but they are quite obvious, especially against your wheels so think it needs blending in to match the paint and then I like it 👍 I agree I think they would blend in and look more factory in white but I was quite surprised how they look in black. I think the black also makes them look bigger than they actually are, looks like I will be out in the cold tomorrow painting them in the van 😂 Its one of those I won’t settle until I’ve tried them but I may well end up taking them off in the future. I m only fixing them to the oem vents and then taping them to the body so if I change my mind no harm done 😂👍 Edited December 8, 2022 by Lonewolfgjp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 @LonewolfgjpI like them on a build it's probably one of the last things to do as the car needs to look low and aggressive like a gt4 so they fit in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffe Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 100% body colour (what I’ll be doing with mine) but they look great in person as friend has them on his Rhodium Silver S colour coded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSMarky Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Whichever colour you chose (body colour I'd say) I would absolutely put some grills in there to stop all the extra debris you'll be scooping in getting through! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
