that was to a spammer who had started his sales pitch with " I love your post I wish I could have them all" I found this amusing if your gonna spam a thread at least read it first i can only presume Mr Webmeister removed his post

Ours still goes pretty fast, have it up to 60+ regularly(fastest was 80!) so we get idiots who under estemate us, especially on round abouts. Never got a speeding ticket tho lol!!

Don't know yet. Only had notice of intention so far. I'll let the community know when the axe falls.

;D The same van was in the same place a couple of days ago so I drove up to the limit signs at a nice, sedate, 25mph (this was in the Colt). As wheels crossed line I floored it and kept it there to 60 till I'd passed them. Silly thing is, I wouldn't normally go over about 50 on that stretch of road

I too have been offered a speed aware course. Going through the rigmarole of enlisting for this on-line I was eventually told that there were no courses available! I was instructed to telephone the organisers which I did - only to be told that they have no record of my name or reference number! I phoned the police and after more connection palava was told that they had not yet got round to passing the information through to the course organisers. Perhaps the police need a course in speed awareness too; a digital extraction course perhaps. More soon - or not so soon possibly.

Well, it was actually worth going to. It didn't involve demonising us speed freaks (and he did find the Daf element amusing - even recognised it as "one of thse belt drive ones!) and covered a lot more in terms of general driving awareness than just "within speed limit = good, over speed limit = bad".
Maybe not the most productive 4 hours I've ever spent but certainly not a waste of time - if nothing else than to confirm that my attitudes to driving are spot on ;D

what where they saying things like you must berate people for driving from Lampeter to beaulie and back with only one stop. Well it didn't really work when I bought her up to coventry I got as far as the M42 before I realised I hadn't yet stopped so I was good and sat there for a whole 30mins.
