So it seems my cars been caught speeding  :fighting:

So watch out guys it seems like the M25 is getting even worse, traffic 90% of the time and when it finally clears the cameras will get you even of they appear to be off.

Over 100 is an instant ban I think.

The top bracket of 101-110mph has a guideline of between 6points or a 7-56 day ban. But I've got a decent lawyer and she reckons she should be able to get me 6 points since it's my first offence and using exceptional hardship argument.

I have learned some useful information because of this, NIP's sent out when you get caught by camera/ speed traps ect have to reach you within 14 days (not including the day of the incident) so if anybody gets one later than that you should show everybody else in your house you got it late so that they could write a statement and send it back with a not saying it arrived too late and it's now void. This works as long as there were no postal strike/ extreme weather/ you're the registered owner keeper and all your information is up to date. So the police had no reason to get it to you late.

So my car turned 10 years old yesterday and I decided to go for fun drive on Saturday night/ Sunday morning and then give her a thorough clean on Sunday.

Range wasn't very good after a spanking  :grin:

 
Gave her a thorough clean in and out.




I've never bothered with fallout remover on the paintwork before and there was actually quite a lot.




Still looks good for her age

Re: Dans grey MK5 GTI, New wheels ordered ☺

So it was my 21st birthday on Tuesday and I've fancied some lightweight wheels for a while, after looking for about 5 minutes I fell in love with these and bought them as a present to myself  :grin:



The fake centre lock might be a bit taccy but I like it. Should be here in about 2 weeks and have ordered 4x Michelin Pilot super sports for them as well. Hopefully they clear the brakes fine and I will be interested to see if I can feel the weight/ diameter reduction.
