    Don’t worry, I had to in the end. There wasn’t even room for me to be on the floor.

    Lol @ Giggsy mixing this up with the job thread.

    3 weeks since I've been caught speeding:

    a) camera was faulty or not responding
    b) the NIP is still with the leasing company
    c) it's a summons, in which case they have around 6 months

    Is Scotland different then? You’d get prosecuted for ‘failure to respond in relation to the identification of a driver’ down here.

    Is that like an IRL version of one of those red bull cheat cars you used to get on Gran Turismo? Assuming those things weren't real. Figments of Adrian Newey's imagination?

    Yeah, I saw that in the article attached to the video. When it says it was set within an hour of the track opening, I assume there can't have been regular plodders pootling around. Imagine seeing tht thing come up behind you (you probably wouldn't see it).

    How fast and what’s the limit? Is it a £100 and 3 points jobby or will they let you do a course to avoid the points and pay a [lower?] fee?

    It's £60 over here. Not sure if I can do the course instead of getting the points. Was doing 44 (apparently, didn't think I was over 40 tbh) in a 30. It was just at the edge of a 30 zone though where there's fuck all around and I always slow down when I actually get into the village properly. But they had one of those mobile camera vans sitting there.

    It's my own fault though. It's just annoying that I get caught like that but I've been coming into the village from the other direction before where there are actually are often pedestrians and that, slowed down to 30 like I should and had arseholes overtaking me inside the 30. Never any fucking speed cameras around for that.

    Having a diesel - now we know about the FRAUD - is probably a bit pointless unless you pile the miles onto it.

    Well that's what I thought but it seems most talk up the diesel.

    They also talk up the automatic but I find automatics boring as fuck.

    I assume F30 is some BMW wankery name too @Mahow? You always here cunts with their E and F numbers here, only car model you hear it from the owners.

    I think the older ones are better cars, as well as cheaper. E46 probably the last good one. Alternatively, there is always the 135.

    EDIT: The E30 is the best, of course.

    Wanting a manual but then going for diesel does sound a bit odd. Then again, once you're on the freeway it is all the same.

    I'm considering buying another Fiat.
    Based on what I've put into Autotrader (petrol, manual, 2012 onwards, 50k miles or less, up to £18k, 1.8L+ etc) my options are the 3 series BMW 3 series, Mercedes C200, Audio A4 or the Mazda 6.

    I'd probably stick to the BMW out of those options. The Mazda 6 is a nice car but that sounds overpriced. Maybe for a Mazdaspeed one.

    You're not impressing any ladies in a Volkswagen, which I assume is the main criteria here.

    I hate the wank-speak. It's the same for Mazda Miatas, where you have the NA, NB, NC, and ND (I think that's it.) Just tell me how old it is ffs.

    These are the 3's that look the most appealing:

    https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...=Saloon&page=1

    https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...dius=60&page=1

    https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...60=TO_8&page=1

    I'm also not the biggest 'car guy' so the search parameters are probably bollocks (I just want a nice looking petrol manual that is fun to drive basically) but whatever.

    There's a bloke driving a GTR round town that I'm slightly jealous of. I never had Durham down as territory for flash cars but I'm seeing more Porshe and Lotus drivers.

    There are two guys with GTRs that go to the track frequently. Bloody fast cars. Last time one broke and had to be towed home. They had a hard time putting it on the truck since it was so low.
