This is a lot of nonsense mate - feel sorry for you!!!!! In my opinion, the police in this instance are being power happy fools and there definitely seems to be a jealously element because you are a young guy driving a 'flash' car! These are the kind of cops that fuel my hatred of the police.* At the end of the day you were not parked to waiting on the lines....you may have went near them while manoeuvring into a legal parking position. I think with this kind of thing they should have to provide photographic evidence of the car in question being parked on the lines but sadly they can pull the two cop bop up here. It sounds like you have enough credible witnesses to get off with this one Jay. The police are relying on the fact that it is inconvenient and costly for you to do so. My friend in the police force who you know says 9 times out of 10 when these things are challenged people get off with them - I will mention this to her and see what she says. *I am not saying there are not intelligent police officers or decent police officers but when all you need is a couple of GCSEs or standard grades to sign up, you are bound to get some halfwits signing up to the force.

Thats knee jerk? Its a massive problem up here TBH. Yes the problem was the trouble maker but asbos and anything else didnt work and they would reoffend. When you look at a bottle of frosty jacks or big beastie, mad dog 50/50, white lightning and the likes its to hammer these drinks. Alot of time and effort is taking to police the streets at this time of night. A&E is full at weekends. 90% of people I have called the police on where drunk. It costs Scotland millions and its a problem that needs to be tackled. Pricing it higher wont do much but the social attitude to drinking needs to change hence why they did it. I agree that pricing it high is not going to solve the problem though - other drugs are already expensive but the type of people that have problems will steal and rob in order to buy the things they want. As for America - I am not saying it has to be a knee jerk reaction but how many more random mass shooting do they have to have before they realise that the average joe citizen does not need a handgun to live their life. They serve no purpose except to protect yourself but if nobody has them then this is not an issue. Yes, I appreciate it would take a long time to clear the streets of guns completely but it is a process that they need to start now in my opinion. I appreciate that there are many pig headed Americans that won't like the idea and it isn't as easy as I am making out. Another argument is that, they will always find guns - in the three instances I mentioned they seem to have been nerdy/bullied kids at school (not hardened criminals) and I wonder if they would have been in a set of circumstances where they were able to get a gun if our laws applied in the US? Ultimately, there are disturbed individuals (albeit a minority) that are willing to carry out such meaningless and horrendous attacks and how they get tot his mental state needs to be considered too.

Too much woman for you to handle Dave Ooooooooffffffft

Enjoy and welcome!

Good job mate - now get out and enjoy her!!!

Your are right! So I detract my previous statement - dumb Americans!

The thing is yeah, not all Americans are dumb. However, why do so many of them fight for the right to have firearms because it is written on an old constitution? What purpose do they serve? If they are completely removed from the population (granted this will be difficult now), it far more likely there will be less occurrences of gun crime. And yes Danny, they might not be able to go out and buy one instantly but if they already have firearms at home then this isn't a problem for them. Also the three instances I mentioned were premeditated.

34) I skip to the front of queues 1) I coat my cornflakes every morning with lead filings and 99Ron fuel. 2) I cut the grass by pouring petrol over it and setting fire! 3) I chew on wild rabbits as a snack. 4) I blow my tyres up with my mouth. 5) I shave with a bowie knife. 6) I changed my oil and used my teeth to get the sup plug off! 7) I too changed my oil and drank the waste! 8) I eat my dinner with a pitch fork and machete. 9) My cat has been trained to be the local drug dealer 10) I drive a pick up truck. The manliest vehicle in the known universe 11) I am ians cats best customer 12) When servicing my car I don't use ramps, I hold my car up with my knees 13) I wear barbed wire instead of socks 14) I brush my teeth with a wire brush 15) I drink sand 16) I can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. That's twice as fast as my car. 17) I used hair straighteners to smash my teeth out when I got bored cleaning them. 18) when I cook tea I often cut my own finger off as a snack. 19) I ate Ian's cat because it gives short measures 20) I use sandpaper condoms. 21) I do my own electrical work - stripping wires with my teeth - and leave the supply on whilst doing it. 22) When I do push-ups my body stays still and the earth moves up and down 23) I pop into fine haberdasheries and say "Your hats are less than exceptional." 24) I got into a knife fight. The knife lost 25) I'm a lumber jack and I'm ok, I cut down trees and I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra - I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa...............is this the right thread ? 26) I aspire to turbo/supercharge everything I own, this includes the microwave 27) Even as a kid I could anhialate everyone at a game of conkers......USING MY LEFT NUT 28) When the Olympics found out G4S couldnt provide the security required they asked me if i could do it, but i was too busy drinking beer and nailing strippers. 29) Not only do I pee standing up, I'm doing a handstand, not standing on my feet 30) I don't wash the dishes they wet themselves in fear 31) The exotic dancers at my local Gentleman's club know me by name. 32) when I need to stop a wee midstream I smash him with a hammer to stem the flow 33) I make onions cry 35) my seaman can swim the channel . . . and back ! 36) I once said 'NO' to my wife!!!! 37) When I went to Iraq in 2003, Saddam Whitshisface was so scared he hid in a hole in a farmers backyard, I then went on to drink strippers and nail drink!! 38) When doing DIY I don't need a hammer, I smash the nails in with my face. 39) Cheryl cole says my name.... baby! 40) I can pebble dash a house just with the use of 20 bottles of scrumpy and a large bag of nuts. 41) I am so manly I don't cry when Ash plucks my eyebrows ....and I love boobs so much I am growing my own set so I can feel them whenever I like.

I'll give you this though to make you feel better :

Saw this on the news too! Mental and happening all too often. The UK had Dunblane (I was in Dunblane on the day as I went to school there and witnessed quite closely the aftermath so I am perhaps biased) and that was enough for us as a society to ban handguns. Americans have had Columbine, Virginia Tech and now this. How many times more does this have to happen before they amend their outdated constitution so that nut cases don't have the right to own handguns. I understand some people will still be able to get ahold of handguns but surely it would become far more difficult. Being able to buy ammo in Walmart and getting free guns with a bank account are just bonkers concepts.

Toilet duck! Happy Birthday!

Both front seats are identical in movement, and they're heated too On one hand I love them as they're infinitely adjustable which means I can always get comfy, but on the other hand they're incredibly heavy which does blunt the performance a fraction. I'd love to get a set of the carbon sports buckets that Porsche do, but not at £6K for the pair. They're only manually electrically adjustable, if that makes sense: When you set them up, that's how they stay until you move them again. They don't alter on the fly under cornering, like I think some Merc seats can as an option. I've got three memory settings for them, so I use one as my relaxed position, one for when I'm on a blat, and one as a combination between the two. Craftsmanship isn't even in the same league as the Zed, but then I'd be pretty annoyed if it was tbh. Don't get me wrong, the interior was okay on my facelifted 350, but the interior plastics marked far too easily. None of that in the 911, it's all leather or soft-touch plastics. I'm not sure it gets as much attention as the Zed if I'm honest, but I've had more compliments on it that I did with the big Nissan. Mostly on the wheels, which I wasn't even that keen on at first. You definitely get used to people not letting you out of junctions as much, but you get far more thumbs up from petrolheads when you go nailing it past them as most Porsches don't ever get driven hard I guess, or at least you never see it. I take it you haven't had anyone ask you what it is? I think I would really like one but don't know of I could comfortably afford the right model for me yet and I like people letting me out of junctions.

I guess there is a big difference between the craftsmanship between it in the zed. Are both seats 14 way electrical adjustment or just drivers - i always hated how the passenger on zed only has the back/forward? Does any of the electrical control systems kick in when you don't want them to? .... is it getting as much attention as the zed? I know we have had the whole poser/driveability debate but I like my car too drive well and to look good. Does it turn eyes and how do you feel you are perceived on the road?

...and ice sculptures. I could maybe steal you some swans from strathy park to wonder on the grounds. Bear in mind they might attack your guests though as they are from Motherwell and a little bit hard!

Looks a beauty - let us know how you get on with it. What toys has it got out of interest - I know relatively little about porsche.

Great house mate! I would of went for two months free rent but then I am a cheeky bas**** So are you renting for the settle in period with a view to buying? Very jealous - looks epic! When you bring your favourite members a souvenir back this is what I envisage: Jack and Victor on return from Canada - skip to 27:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p4Z1gF_rDQ

P.s. Is someone on the prowl for Volks?

Nice wheels and a decent price but they would need spaced for sure.

You kind of summed things up nicely yourself there. Buy cheap, buy twice. Not always the case but 9 times outta 10 it tends to be. As Neil says post some pictures up and tell us the year of your car. The y pipe should be a straight fit onto the decats.

Lambo!

+1 I also called them a scumsucking scamming ***** because it made me feel better

Don't do that, that's what they want They then have your email address to send you also sorts of scam phishing emails etc etc............. Gumtree needs to sort that crap out.

I was pulling your pisser

Hahaha - you were busted.
