It looks as though you're looking at the camera, striking a pose.

I reckon you did this on purpose.

So do I. He doesn't live that far from Tunbridge Wells. I can't believe he didn't know the camera was there. It's past the junction with the B2169 to Lamberhurst and not exactly invisible. It's a long uphill drag from the town too so he had the wick turned up.

Certainly didn't do it on purpose, going to cost me a fair bit and some points I think.

I knew the camera was there but didn't realise it was a forward facing one until it flashed at me.

It probably doesn't help that the speedo, (or rev counter!) doesn't work at the moment so guessing speed is a bit hit and miss, obviously missed on this one

It's only got a 3 speed gearbox and a race cam so "cruising" at 30 isn't in it's nature, going uphill at 30 is to low for third but a bit tiring in 2nd as it revs away.

not a bad idea, you may be able to pay off the fine with it!

Apologies to Austin for finding it amusing, but that is a classic (in more ways than one)..

That's got to be worth £60! You should frame that.

In Austin 7 circles they are seen as a badge of honour, it has been known to make t-shirts with them.

Leg end

[carreauchompeur]

Love it! Well worth the £60. Have you asked about a commemorative frame?

[cptsideways]

My 70 year old dad would be proud of that one he had one of them


Ask if you can have a framed version from the Scamerati

[oldcynic]

I think they should sort out the white balance if they're going to charge professional rates for their photography!

The framing could be a little better too.

I recall pictures looking like that after the camera had been X-rayed by airport security!

Staircase is nearly done now, just got the steps top finish sanding and treating. I'll post an update soon(ish).

Desk is getting worse, I appear to be spreading across two of them.

ETA.. Did you see the flash?

Looks like a Truvelo (3 lines on road) which I believe has an IR flash that you wouldn't see.

OP, fantastic car and picture - if you went to court I bet you'd get off!

I saw a flash. Don't really fancy going to court, I don't own a suit for starters.

Could be an interesting speed awareness course if I go in it though...

Not wanting to get off topic but this is the reason why I asked if you saw the flash. I've seen threads on here before where people have been adamant that Truvelos don't use a visible to the human eye flash, now here's the proof that they do.

As for not owning a suit I wouldn't worry about. The last time I went to court for a friend's case there were three cases to be heard before his, out of the three people, who were all on nine points & being given another three, only one had a suit on. Out of the other two one looked like she'd just got up & one looked as though he was on his way to the gym, neither of the three had their licences suspended for being on twelve points.

Aaarrrgggghhhhh!

Truvelo uses a visible-light, white-coloured flash with a magenta filter over the lens.

If that is aimed at me, yes I know.
