Driving on the M6 today coming home from Manchester.
In the middle lane doing around 65mph. About 50 yds behind an HGV on the inside lane. BMW X5 police car passes me on the outside doing maybe 70-75mph
No flashing lights. AS SOON as he passes me he crosses the 2 lanes (pulling first...
Yesterday, as I was visiting sunny cornwall I was being followed by the most infamous of them all, a traffic cop.
In the aggressive and rude tone that most of them have, he said, and i quote; "oi, you, i need to speak to you, pull up over there and get out of your car." in which i replied...
That crashed red car with roll cage.
Firstly they say the car has been modified for track use - true.
Then they say he was driving too fast - quite possibly true.
Then they said the roll cage saved his life - quite possibly true.
Then they said that car shouldn't me on the road despite it...
Anyone watch Traffic Cops last night?
There was an interesting part where they parked up in an unmarked car, in a lay-by on a dual carriageway, and got the laser speed gun out. It was a good place to catch people they said, as it was a long, clear stretch of road.
At first, I thought this...

Interesting piece about criminals now using radio jammers to block the RF signals from the key fob, so cars are not locking. Also 'experts' report that there are easily available electronics that can defeat modern car immobilisers. Mercedes were featured.
The scenario depicted in the film...
Went down to MB world today for the first time. What an amazing array of cars on show to play with. New E63 AMG too. Nice.
They had £10 per person for rides in the AMG cars, and even the drive yourself for 30minutes was only £50, down from £170 for 60minutes.
However the day turned bad when I...
So the TC's are on another speed catching run on a bit of road near me - its a dual lane bit of road in-between 2 roundabouts that goes into 3 lanes when its gets near the r/b. Its a 30 speed limit but I am guessing that people not in the know would assume its a 40..
Anyway, so they have...
Who would be silly enough to do such a thing? :rolleyes:

Sorry Dave.
Decided to stay at home with folks this friday and have a little pre-rest just before Christmas parties commence... anyway I went to get a Pizza, the Merc was blocked in by my sisters MG so I took the Micra.
1st Thing that came into my mind was Dave Elcome as he had been giving...
