  1. I had issues with my scorpion and can say their warranty is excellent. Sent my exhaust back and they sent a new one out. Brilliant sounding exhaust and looks brilliant!
  2. And I certainly wouldn't just ignore it +1 sounds like a dodgy bearing or something.
  3. I have owned a cooper a and still have a swift sport. Cooler s is classy yet classless. Brilliant car and very similar drive to the Suzuki. Much much better built though and very comfortable. Running costs are reasonable also. Vxr is chavvy these days.
  4. Was there not issues with the k&n system cutting through wires when fitted?

    Front tyres on 19s

    Is your car lowered at all? I have 19's and it's lowered. Wearing even at the moment.
  10. Probably one of the subjects that kept me going to school for further education. Done very well with it. Up here it's under product design now. Used to be called craft and design.
  11. I do agree rich. It does only take a few. The majority of my dealings have been ok as I'm usually very polite towards them but I've had a few where it's been unjust and I have had severe problems with. My missus is a teacher also. Luckily she's in an all female school, I could deal with that
  12. Obviously It's a matter of opinion on this matter about honest cops etc. Maybe the Glasgow forces operate differently and you are one of a few honest cops left. No matter what happens its all down to evidence and if there's no evidence you will win your case. I may have a biased opinion as I have been in this situation before and also having a lawyer in the family who really knows the law better than any officer I have came across. Most police officers are just out of school up here and have a massive chip on their shoulder. A very old friend of mine is a police officer and he has now lost all his mates due to his attitude to people and the "power trip" he is on. He wasn't well respected at school and not tough but now he thinks he is lord justice and basically we all think he's a complete d*ck. He has ended up wih a girl who is also an officer as no normal girl would ever go with him due to his attitude. Almost every police office I know is going out with or married to another police officer. Another mates sister is also cop and I know for fact that alot of the cops are all riding each other like blackpool donkeys on the job. Obviously you're a member of the police force and have a heavily biased opinion but deep inside you you have a normal citizen. This has been programmed out of you though to change your thought processes. No matter what any normal person would say to you will change your opinion as you have been programmed to think a certain way the same as I have for my job. Would you deny that police officer regularly break the law? This is in no way a personal dig at you Rancer as I dont know you and from what I've seen on here you're polite and obviously one of the fairer cops that exist, but, surely you must see stuff happening that, if you were a normal citizen and not a police officer, you would think is a bit unfair?
  13. Holy sh*t thought you were selling the car there. Why you selling the skirts, I think they look awesome!!
  14. What causes it to stop sending power went the wheel comes of the ground? I though quaife was mechanical?
  15. Lol seen that one on YouTube. I had a women come round a roundabout in my village the wrong way. Luckily I seen her and avoided her but she kept on going an never thought to stop and turn round.
  16. I would say a taster session isn't enough. It will take a couple of hours to settle into track driving as your nerves and adrenaline will be going mental. Look for a 3-4hr session open pitlane and try and get someone who's used to track driving to go out with you the first few laps. Forget it if it's wet also.
  17. Nah - unless he's been cautioned and is subject to a contemporaneous written (roadside) interview then nothing the driver says is evidential. It would be a hearsay statement and generally not worth the paper it's written on. I think I know what you mean re: sufficient evidence of a crime occuring. However, what the cop has witnessed would be evidence. From the video it sounds like the guy pulled out in front of the cop at speed? That would be pretty low on the scale in terms of careless driving etc: however I would certainly be having a word with the driver to see if there was a reason why he drove poorly. Drink/drugs/tiredness/distraction etc: I'd guess from the video that the cop wasn't really looking at careless, otherwise he likely would have gone through a contemp interview. Having someone in the car doesn't mean they are getting a ticket. Not sure that statement makes any kind of sense. Besides which, the driver can always decline to accept the ticket and have his/her day in court instead. I stand by what I said re: the attitudes involved. The driver has obviously got a kick out of behaving like a kid. So he posted his video online to brag and boast. The cop probably thought "Meh" and went back to work, thinking no more of it. I get stopped regularly due to the attention my car draws but most have been pleasant. I have had a few that do the usual " how do you afford a car like that?" etc but, as always, its nothing to do with them unless I have broken laws to obtain said vehicle. With regards to going into a police vehicle, What I would say, when you enter a police car there is usually two officers so whatever is said, unless recorded, is useless as the officer's statements' is what will be used. They can say anything and accuse you of anything. You stand no chance of arguing it (exactly what happened with maxi). Most people will just accept the fine as they fear going to court to defend themselves could end up with them getting a larger fine. Most cases if argued with good legal advice will be dropped. You are in no way obliged to enter a police vehicle, you are not breaching any laws filming police officers. You are in no way obliged to make any comments(usually this will be used against you as you will incriminate yourself). What I find more alarming is the large number of police officers that do not know the laws they are supposed to be exercising.
  18. Driver of that car was a total bell*nd IMO. Cop remained polite throughout and the driver came over like a petulant child. Im not sure about the fine in the OP - though a car with no registered keeper will raise my suspicions. If it all checks out then off they go. From the limited dealings I've had with Scottish law (ie interviewing people on ScotsPols behalf) they do require two cops. Scots law isn't the same as ours. Primarily because they don't have the Police and Criminal Evidence act up there. You can refuse to get in a car if you want, but, as above, it won't do you any favours. Or rather, it won't make the cops more likely to do you any favours. In my experience, obstructive people often have something to hide. I disagree. What i've found is that police use the power of suggestion to manipulate people into incriminating themselves. The police officer tried to and the driver of the vehicle merely exercised his right as a law abiding citizen. If he had got out and into the police car they would have definately given him a ticket. Coming from a family with one of Europe's top ranked lawyers I know what happens with stuff like this. The police are merely there to exercise the law, not to analyse it. Unless they have sufficient evidence of a crime taking place they literally have no power over a citizen who knows his legal standing. The guy in the video merely passed his judgement of the situation in which the police officer had no evidence or grounds to argue with him. He told the police officer he wasnt interested in his suggestions and the police could not argue with this. So he done his checks and let him go.
  19. Everybody should book rooms at premier inn for a big party(especially since us scots are makin the pilgrimage) . Still family rooms available. Works out 70 quid each for two sharing Friday and Saturday night
  20. A one off, he's been trying to sell it for a while. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-G ... 500wt_1413 Pete and quite frankly the worst bodge job ive ever seen. Those seatbelts are more likely to kill someone rather than save them I'm sure one person on here did have proper rear seats fitted which looked oem, cant remember who now though.
