Hi there

Well done approx 100 miles tonight in the motor. Was in Macclesfield with a couple of m8's and as usual had to pay a visit to the local Shell as it was refill time again. :eek:
Anyway after filling up I was sat in car waiting for peeps to come back from buying sweets to stuff down their faces and a officer of the law comes up and has a good look round the car. He says to me "beutiful car and I bet it goes some" and then he went on to inform me how they had a speed trap up the road which is a long wide road that eventually turns into a national speed limit but is 30mph up until then. He made me aware how the Police had camera up on the road and were catching plenty and warned me to watch my speed as he was saying if he had a car like that it would be hard to keep at the speed limit.

I am just happy how a Police officer was kind enough to inform me and possibly save me from a fine and points. He also never bothered about the small number plate on the front, maybe with it been American he just assumed it was OK. :D Though I have gotta say out of all the coppers I've come across they have always been polite and never cocky. :)

Anyway had a great drive and turned off traction control for the drive home as I want to see if the rear end was tail happy and am happy to report it still gripped superb, obviously I am still taking it easy but am now getting used to the LHD and thoroughly enjoying the car. :)

Which road was that gibbo?

Shell garage in Macc near Tytherington and if you carry on down the road pass the garage towards Bollington its a good straight but is 30mph until you get to the national speed limit bit which brings you out at Bollington roundabout where if you go left your heading for Prestbury/Stockport....
