Default Question!!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who can help me regarding the dreaded speed camera's.

I noticed in some of the magazines, Fastford etc that there is a book you can get detailing all the lop holes in these (lets get everyday people) camera's i was wondering if anyone knew where i can get one from on the internet!!!

I havent been caught but hey you can never say never!!!

Thanks!!

There aren't any loopholes, but there are some actions you can take once you have been flashed, to ease the pain.

You'd be better off getting a Snooper or whatever they're called these days.

You just need to know when to drive fast and when to take it easy, there's plenty of guys and girls on here with fast Cosworths that enjoy a blast and don't have any points on their licences.

THanks for welcoming me, (sorry life story time - LOL) i used to own vauxhalls and belongs to a club (MIG) but they were a bunch of ************* so i havent been on a site like this for ages.

The cossie (or missile) as its know in our house is that Grey colour, its really his car i own a Pug 206 GTi but hey i can still have fun!!!!!!

Oh by the way i brought a snooper today from Demon tweeks sorry not sure which one but it should of been £29.95 but Fastford or someone had made a printing error at it was down for £24.99 get it tomorrow should be fun.
We can then go out police bating and see if it works!!!!!!

Polaris Grey, it's a pretty rare colour actually.

206 GTi - The 180 BHP one?

That's cheap for a snooper, I thought a decent one was a couple of hundred quid, I don't have one myself though.

I did borrow one once when we went to Middlesbrough to watch the football, we did between 120 and 140 all the way home!

Oh right!

£129.95 is more like the right kind of money!

Demon Tweeks will probably mess your order up anyway!
