Hi,

So in "the news" the other day there was an article about speed camera locations for a current operation for HantsPol... these things usually last 2 weeks to a month I guess.

(Yeah I realise it pretty much covers the whole of Hampshire - but might help someone)

Welcome Nick,

Good luck on the Sale/Purchase.

Hi, Yeah I paid 5k for mine with MOT and service history. It needs a clutch (high but not slipping) new tyres, and a full self service which will make up that grand*.

But at least I know it's done.

Edit: *and a bit :-)

Edit: assuming that's it's a 7" screen, I've not measured it or even got that far to thinking about it yet.

I was thinking of doing the same for my 04' GT... But I had not really looked into it more than the accessibility of cubby's.

Its not weird to want to replace with storage, for me the Sat Nav is out of date for both the maps and the screen quality, I am considering putting in a 7" Raspberry Pi system, but it's wouldn't be a priority; I figured I could use it to come on the forums use Google maps from the car via The BT open zone spots or tethering... In honesty though it's probably something I wouldn't really use, much like my Sat Nav.

Mate, I'm gutted for you... Pricks.

Brighton is @*!# for parking full stop. if you don't get a dent from a door it's keys, a bag or something.. Or a parking ticket, not to mention the actual cost to park is next to mental.

Stop a town or two up and get the train down its prob the same price as parking for the day.

Silver here, but always fancied the azure blue.

Sounds good.

Plenty if inspiration can be found here for all your needs if you're not a long time lurker like me.

Loads of threads about wheels and stuff here, nice little sticky for best alloys if you have not seen it already 😊 plus loads of advice about offsets and spacers etc regarding Brembo clearance etc.

Have fun!

Welcome back, good luck with the car hunting.

Definitely spend some time making an informed decision over the 350/370z. I would love to have had the choice but simply couldn't justify the additional expense of a 370z - well not yet anyway.

Hey, welcome aboard.

Hey, welcome.

Seconded for Opie Oils, very good service.

How'd I miss this?

my bad, I will definitely come alone next time - I'm only around the bloody corner so would have been nice to introduce myself.. in fact I was in Clanfield for a few hours today on London Road about 3 mins away!

Bloody typical.

Hello and welcome.

Same as me then, what colour is yours, any mods yet?

I have not got around to putting up any pictures either, but mines completely stock aside from a plenum spacer, Japspeed Exhaust and Cosworth Air Filter so doesnt look any different than what you could find on the parkers website so i'm not in a hurry.

Very nice, welcome (back)

Very Jealous

Unfortunately this is what happens when the current government continually attack the police year after year with cut after cut meaning that with a 20% reduction in staff and budgets they can no longer provide the service that we would like and have come to expect.

 

I apologise to the OP in advance for this but what are the police supposed to do? Hes seen a dodgy ad with a dodgy price and has sent a large sum of cash to a mysterious person without getting any additional information or even checking they have the car in the first place. Its tantamount to walking into a pub youve never visited before and handing £4K to a random bloke at the bar, then going to the police 2 weeks later and saying youve been robbed.

 

Sorry but its not the banks, the police or Pistonheads that are to blame here.

Rare is it that I disagree with you these days mate but at the point where this is proven theft the police should and must be interested in it.

 

No matter how gullible you've been you've still been robbed and you pay your taxes so that the police offer you an element of remedy to that end.

 

Totally get what you are saying about the pub analogy...... Spot on but in this case they have a bank account, eBay addresses, email addresses, fake websites that at the very least they could shut down to stop it happening to other people.

 

My dad would be a sucker for these things if he had access to the internet. Dumb as a plank the lad is when it comes to scams

Fraud is Fraud.

I have seen these.. I'm gutted for you mate, hang on in there and your right they're quite elaborate and difficult to spot unless you know what you're looking for and to hunt down.

Id still report to the police, not matter how much you hate them or think they wont do anything.. you never know as they may (one day) find these pricks, seize there pc's and stuff and find your details and that's the only way you're ever going to get anything back I would think.

whatever the solution is it isn't going to be quick I am afraid.
