Really?! Actually, I am surprised given the love for cameras in that part of the world.

Like they don't already. Anyone who thinks that there isn't a database that records every time you pass an ANPR camera is kidding themselves.

I'm Spartacus!

Good. The more cameras we have on traffic lights, the better.

Right, car is back with me now and the brakes are... better. Not perfect, but they're better. Apparently they're just full of air, and given that I've bled them multiple times, the local Jag specialist has bled them multiple times, and now my local Pork specialist has bled them multiple times, then that's a lot of air! Never had this issue before across multiple '2s, so it's a bit weird. PSR Automotive have done a great job in getting them better, and also giving it a go for me when they're snowed under with work on proper cars. Hopefully the brakes will get fixed for sure when the car goes to Rogue tomorrow, as they're MR2 specialists.

Sorry, that was meant proper tongue in cheek, if it didn't come out that way I genuinely apologise. Sorry Adrian.

Truth. I only listen to the iPod these days, if I ever put music on at all.

Standard aerial that actually gets reception ftw.

That's not confirming anything though, is it? Just that they will insure your car with the mods on, not that they are covered like for like. That said, I don't know what you asked them so I'm sure you've got it all covered, you're not as daft as you look matey

Lol

It's all down to practice. When I first got mine I crawled in and out, nowadays I can fling myself in and out with ease.

Dude, chill! If you've been on here that long you know we're only playing! That said, if there is an issue with the car (i.e. previous crash damage etc) then it would be beneficial to publicise it here, so that future owners don't get misled. Not saying you've done anything wrong at all, we all ditch cars off at the dealer in less than perfect condition sometimes, just it's nice to have a history of Zeds.

£18K sounds a much more realistic fee for writing a 370 off! Sounds like the best idea to walk away.

Realistically if a superbike decides to take off and it's not on a motorway and no helicopter above, then there's pretty much zero chance of being caught.

Whatever floats your boat honey

I swear to god that if the OP doesn't come back and let us know what's happening, I'm gonna have to go postal

^^^ Best post in the entire thread. Road parasites is an awesome term!

Ah, I see what you mean now Tbh, I have no idea. I started to write something out, then realised it sounded like complete b*llocks so deleted it I guess that's why people are paid far more money than me to make sure stuff works. In theory, as long as you keep names separate then it'll be fine. What happens when Joe Smith sells a car to another Joe Smith, I've no idea!

You'll be fine. You will definitely get a CEL unless you have O2 sensor extenders on the pipes.

But if they want to, what's the problem? Out of all the things to pick on cyclists for, their choice of clothing doesn't seem to be a big one.

I'm guessing the system won't care how many people try and tax a car, so long as it is taxed. More money for them, I guess.

You ring the automated phone line and pay for tax that way.

I disagree. If it gets you in the correct mindset, then it's worthwhile. A normal t-shirt and shorts might not encourage you to push harder, but wearing the 'correct' gear might well make you beat that PB or go the extra mile, literally. For a lot of cyclists, especially those at club level who do take part in proper events but who aren't pro, it's no different from the people on trackdays who wear the proper gear instead of jeans and a t-shirt. If you can afford the best, then why not? No harm in it.

Come on chaps, give the guy a break: He's clearly got the right intention here, and tbh is posting in probably the best place. Perhaps the title could've been better ('Owner of MY0* coupe/roadster M9 CAX please read'?), but fair play for coming clean.

Time, more than anything. I will miss not doing it myself, but these days I'd rather drive it than faff around fitting stuff. Must be getting old, I reckon.
