it's been covered before, but I got 6 months, big fine and big costs. The guy in the ferrari was my friend, he got 6 weeks plus same costs as he was older and had a clean license.

the video is a link at the bottom of my profile of the motorsport elise

cheers, Jon

I watched that off a link from F.Chat last week and couldn't help shouting at the screen when you came to that last roundabout "split up, split up!"

[Jonny5]

they'd already called the helicopter, and got all available units ready should we have done that....... didn't know that at the time tho'

somehow think if the video ever got onto Police, Camera, Action the sound would be heavily dubbed.

Blimey Jon... didn't realise you were 23!

If you ever need a business partner, you know where I am

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I didn't realise you had covered it before.... I suppose if I wasn't so lazy I could have found that out with a little searching!

Anyway, it still seems very harsh treatment for what looks quite tame and well behaved (if a little fast at times) on the video.

Out of interest (highjacking the thread again!), what are your thoughts on the Exige? I ask, as it is on my shortlist for my next play thing.

Jonny, did you really earn all that at you know where? I can't believe how much you guys must get paid! I'm really in the wrong part of the company!

Either that or you spend a lot of time living at your mums

Majority yes, but I have property investments too Dan. How were the bonuses at BC this year?

Great if you were a dealer I'm sure!

IT bonuses were ok, but you know how it is. You get ok in good times and sod all in bad times, whilst as a dealer its very good in good times and sod all in bad times.

I'm always torn between doing something sensible with the money or dropping even more on a car. Fancy a property investment, but really hard to judge the market. I quite fancy an interest rate climb to squeeze out the people who can't really afford it

That's OK, it's never been a handicap to those who I have known that work in IT at Barcap

Oh yes!

I was there as a contractor during the BZW move to CW. Then went back for 4 more years as a contracror on a big fat rate............but then made the fatal mistake of going permy

Resigned 2 years ago after refusing to tow the line with the suck-up culture that permeates the place. Too many peeps trying to get into Bobby D's pants

Now living a simpl life of poverty out in the sticks

Interestingly i received a 28 day ban after being caught stretching the old M3's legs on Royal Dock Rd. Still have a rental flat or two in CW so often hoon around there
