New SPECS on M6 J18-18?

[davrian]

Sorry if it's already been posted but are they putting SPECS on this stretch. There are a series of curved blue gantries with 'Motorola'? shaped brackets and some sort of fitment with a bag over?
:jester:

Oh thats just great, as if the Thelwall Viaduct wasn't bad enough, now we have to contend with this.

[davrian]

It seems worse to me. Why put up permanent gantrys?

Yeah, I saw the new gantries sans cameras when I was on the M6 on Monday.

Between that and the c*nt in the scamera van on the M6 in cumbria. It has not been a good weekend for me regarding speed scameras. But thats what happens when you drive cross country these days.
Its possible for at least 3 different sniper units to have a pop at you.
Making the roads safer? Don't make me laugh.

What I particularly hate is that fact that either the lancs or scumbria parternships talivans are painted wine red. This make them much, much harder to see at a distance (thus rendering Mk 1 eyeball useless) and makes you think they aren't scamera vans.
If it wasn't for the fact I've seen them before I wouldn't have guessed it was a scamera van.

No plates.

Scamera scum won't (can't) come after you and what's the chance of running across a plod in a car these days ? Almost nill.

If you do get caught, £30 an end - just say some scroate has stolen them and you can't get any more made until you get home to get the V5 . . .

Thanks for the warning just started travelling upto Manchester last week for work....

The SPECS are up in place between 16 and 17, but as of this morning are still bagged up as the work hasn't actually started yet. I don't think the gantries are permanent - they look just like normal SPECS poles to me.

Lots of shooting land to either side of that stretch.
Reflective camera lens make great target practice alledgedly ..................

Saw some of those reflective plates on a 911 in the Car Park at Castle Combe last Monday. Anybody know where you can get them from?
