Foamed Gatso - someone listened to Clarkson!

Saw it today on Ipswich road just off the A12 into Colchester, had to stop and take a photo

Pity they didn't use building foam, not quite sure what they used, similar to shaving foam I think, but no doubt it has buggered it up good and proper

It was you really wasnt it.

Morba · 15 May 2006 at 22:55

looks like standard foam rather than expanding foam sprayed inside.

no doubt we will see people saying that topgear is again being silly and promoting braking the law etc etc

Don't do that......

Ohh the anti-speed freaks will love him for that.

I actually have access to lots of that foam, but there aren't any silly cameras near me. Plus I kinda like freedom.

The expanding foam trick has been around for years, it's not Top Gear's fault!

Jonny69 · 15 May 2006 at 23:12

We filled a whole car up with expanding foam once hoping that the windows would explode. Took about 5 gallons of liquid, quickly mix in the activator in half a drum, slam the door and RUN

Didn't explode though which was disappointing :mad:

Couldn't you just throw a box over the top of them?

A speed camera can only "Cash In" if you speed past it....or is it really that difficult to understand?

Sorry to pick on you mate but why do you have to quote the whole post?! Sorry again - it's just a bit annoying when you have to scroll all the way down past the pictures again...

Kol · 16 May 2006 at 00:50

I'd have been worried someone may have seen you take the pics and assume you had done it

Stellios · 16 May 2006 at 01:10

I knew this would happen, never seen it around here, they just get torched here. How long before we see some wrapped in clingfilm

*Yawn*

Speed cameras, in many cases, are placed in positions purely as a revenue-generating device and have naff all to do with road safety...or is that really that difficult to understand?

Quick question for you stoofa - who is the more dangerous? Me, doing 85mph on a motorway concentrating on driving or someone I saw yesterday, doing 15mph in a 30 with a mobile phone glued to her ear? Because a speed camera would only be catching one of us.....

ShakenNstirred · 16 May 2006 at 06:32

there are 3 speed cameras near were i live and they have been vandalised so many times that they have now put up CCTV next to them

Foam the CCTV then foam the speed camera

But then they'll setup a CCTV watching the other CCTV which is watching the speed camera

shrek2 · 16 May 2006 at 07:21

Oh how I love speed cameras. They catch tired drivers, disqualified drivers, uninsured drivers, drunk drivers, drugged drivers, drivers with mobile phones etc :rolleyes:
