On our way home from Cardiff the other weekend we passed a mobile scamera on the A36 near Warminster.

I tried to slow the convoy down but it would appear I failed miserably, as four of the eleven TVR's have had a letter from the local with a NIP.(including me)

It looks like we may all get done (sorry) & I wondered if this is the case - will we set a record for the most number of cars nicked at any one time

Speed range from 70 - 86mph in a 60 limit....oops!

I can understand the first car getting done (assuming you are all in a line), but if the other cars were directly behind you, and not much of a gap between each car, then due to the fact that there is another vehicle between the laser and the target vehicle ( the car in front), then the reading should be void. Might be wrong.

Note to self "must not drive behind Nick"

Too late, mine came with Sprint (and I opened it first!!)

Tuscan Tel.

Kojack remember only a fool breaks the two second rule. From personal experience best not to get too close to car in front.

No chance - this guy was on a motorbike & hidden under a bridge.
We saw a couple of them in Wiltshire - one was stuck & in the process of falling off his bike which got quite a lot of pointing & jeering from us

His mate was probably getting us back - but there were no signs to warn us they were there.

my mate came up with the far more memorable:

"only a cu*t has a safety gap shunt"
