TRAX 2014 Silverstone Sunday 7th Sept

[John]

The reading I've done suggests it only enforces when the variable limits are on though unless like Cinek said today - you are doing over 97mph.

Every article (almost i.e. not the one below) seems to have a response from the HA stating they are not enforcing 70mph but merely when the variable limits are on.

Its not the cameras on the back of the gantrys you need to worry about anymore. 11th gantry south of M1 junc 13 southbound, there is a camera and flasher unit fixed to the left hand support of the gantry. There are no cameras on the gantry over the lanes so its easy to think it is safe.
The camera on the left hand gantry support is pointing across all 3 lanes at 45 deg to the carriageway, it does flash

The one Paul saw was getting people going northbound I think so I don't think it is this device as it only scans up to 5 lanes and is on the southbound...

Maybe the same one as this Paul?

I've seen something similar in the past - I think on the M25. A camera randomly flashing when no one was speeding.

I reckon it could be that as that was this morning.

There is one near Clackets at the moment that seems to be "active"!

Big to Alps for organising this again. It was a great plot and thankfully it stayed dry and the sun properly shone. I got plenty of sunburn on my ever increasing spam-head!!

It was a really good gathering at S Mimms bright and early this morning. This car lark seems to be increasingly involving silly o'clock morning starts, all worth it of course.

Plenty of the motors were making some glorious noises. Cliff's Brabus SL, sounds immense! Sav's would now wake the dead Nice convoy even though we lost JohnEBoy almost straight away and we hadn't even joined the M25, he soon caught us up though also nice surprise to meet The_Don en-route.

Good to meet up with everyone again and nice to meet some of the guys that I hadn't met before.

Thanks for posting the pics guys, some great shots

Thanks mate! Yours was looking great, extremely clean too! I know, I didn't stay that late today as I had to get back as I'm going away in the morning. I'm looking forward to the next meet and hopefully getting to know everyone. Also, great pitch, Thanks Alps.

 

[ScottyC63]

Never got to say hi, Scott Sorry dude Did see your car though, which was looking great! Hope to see you again.

I would like to repeat what has already been said about the organisation of the day Top work Alps.
And now on to the transport! It was my first experiance in an AMG of any description thanks to Suky And WOW F*****g amazing! I think the saying "going like a scolded cat" was invented by an AMG passenger the acceleration was phwoar the sound is yeaahh and the ability of the CLS to get around the bends at those speeds was eye opening for such a big and extremely luxurious car! I am gob smacked at how the CLS AMG gets down the road
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.
Thanks guys.

Tony.

Thank you to all that made it and hopefully it'll be a bigger turn up next year

The spot spot was greater than ever,thank you Alps for everything

 

[AshC63]

Cheers alps for organising another Traxx!! Was great to meet everyone and all the cars looked stunning!

Great drive up in the morning and catching up with members

Simon, your estate looks amazing (There's no point in saying how good Rashman's car is, its a given)

Alx, good to see the beast and it is truly a testament to all the hard work you've put into it.

Chris's car was drawing a lot of attention with all the Weistec gear in it.

Andy, really like the ML, agree about the wood; but it was good to catch up with you.

It was nice to see some CLS's this for a change, I was in good company

Cliff, good to see you finally at Traxx.

Acid and Sarim, good to catch up with you guys and and THANKS for convincing me to spend a bit more money

Paul and Andy, good to see you guys outside of work and nice to talk about normal car stuff non work related lol. The "Bumblebee" is waking up the dead for sure.

Palfrem, it was nice to meet you!

Developer John, good to see you again, although we didn't a chance to chat much.

Suky and Tony, good to see you mate and congrats on the little one. I'm glad Tony survived the drive . Good to see you after a long time Tony and glad you had an "AMG" experience hehe.

Agnes, good to see you after almost two years, I"m sure you are really enjoying the C63

Ash, car is looking nice and Shiny and the bonnet looks sweet (shame about the blemishes )


JohnE, love what you have done with the car, it is looking and sounding great!

Thomas with his SL with the BS body kit looks proper mean!

Steve, thanks for the pics, your E63 is looking great but missed the Red Devil!!

Cinek, we should have utilised your go faster stripes more and got to the head of the queue! Thanks for the really nice pictures!

The_Don, catching up en-route was so much fun! Good to see you again!

Cedric, was good to meet you again and have a proper chat this time.

Bruno, glad you had a nice time in France (apart from the incidents with the French) and hearing about it in person is so much better than reading about it

Ricky (V8SAM), nice driving with you mate, your 63 sounds great when you flew by me on the motorway

I'm really sorry if I missed anyone out, but it was great day!!

 

[sjmaxwell]

Is it just me but did anyone else get a bit frazzled with the sun yesterday!?

Sorry about the Red Devil, I can only drive the one AMG at a time

It was certainly a great day with one admirer looking at our stand and telling their friend it was the AMG crew!!

Same here Suky - I had a hangover and the 4.45am start from home wasn't ideal! On top of that as Steve has pointed out I've got a sun burnt slap head
