Re: Petrolhead books, what you reading?

The Life of Senna...great read...still to see the movie. http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/tom+rubython/the+life+of+senna/4452157/ For something different, i'd strongly recommend anything by Conn Igullden....historical fiction based around known facts....2 series of books, about Cae...

laser jammers

Wonder what your opinions are on laser jammers. I've got a road angel, but of course that's no use against a mobile van or hand held....it'll tell you when your being zapped but that's all...your speed is likely to have been recorded by then anyway. The jammers seem to be in a grey area as far as th...

Re: I.C.E

Thanks for all the comments guys. I probably will change the speakers out....more for when I'm pootling about town and want to listen to the radio or ipod. But bottom line is that when I'm pushing on or out for a bit of a thrash round the back roads, then it's a waste of time trying to out gun the n...

Re: I.C.E

I put stronger speakers in mine, yes. That was just so that I could turn it up loud enough to hear it without blowing the cones on the bottom drawer nonsense they fit at the factory. Yeah, that's what I intend doing. The guff they fit in the factory just aren't up to the job when you crank it up lo...

I.C.E

Anyone ever put a decent sound system into their Elise? I know the sound of the exhaust/engine is a big thing for some, but we don't all go around with the engine screaming all the time. I'm a big music fan and I miss having decent quality sound when driving....especially on Motorway runs when I wan...

Re: Grey S/C Elise in Auchterarder

That'll be mine.
Parked up at my mates in Muirton/Auchterarder while we go offshore. There's 3 of us go offshore together, so I pick up one in Stirling, then up to Auchterarder, and all 3 of us go up to ABZ in his car.
Had my mates wife washed it? Or is it sitting all covered in sh*t?

Re: Iphone experts required....

Pop into the apple store and get them to try your sim in one of their phones or even just borrow someone elses. if it works then the problem is with your handset. if it doesn't then the issue is between Vod and At&t.

Re: N.I.P today.

Tut, It's cool. It's an emotive subject. Yes, I would like there to be a way out of something I feel is a bit harsh, but hey ho, it's not going to happen. I was accused of whining and moaning when I hadn't, but it's not a problem. I think the thread has just stimulated a charged debate, and some may...

Re: N.I.P today.

Personally, I think £60 and 3 points for speeding in a 70 is unnecessary, I was hardly thrashing the car. i think anyone who similarly felt harshly done by, would look for a way out. However, I would throw the book at anyone speeding in a built up area or near schools etc. 2 entirely different scena...

Re: N.I.P today.

What the fcuk is the matter with you lot? The guy posted once asking a question, he was not moaning or whining. Read it again. He asked if it was valid as it did not come by recorded delivery, which it used to. This place is going downhill with do gooders spouting off after other do gooders, none o...

Re: N.I.P today.

just a quick point to the OP - if you already have 9 or more points on your licence you could always risk going unsigned - pm me if you are :thumbsup Thanks but I'm clean at the moment....not for much longer tho. C'est la vie. The whole point of starting this wasn't to start a war between the 2 ver...

Re: N.I.P today.

Nope, as I said above I'm just getting tired of hearing people whine when they get caught. I was also surprised to hear a mod say that he thought it was ok to lie to try to keep points off a licence...ie encouraging someone to attempt to pervert the course of justice. If you want to confess fire aw...

N.I.P today.

Guys,
NIP landed through my door this morning....but it was not by recorded delivery. 83 in a 70....doh.
Am I right in thinking I can just bin it as there's no proof that I received it?

thanks in advance
