Solution to speed camera problems.
Discussion
I figure it this way. We live in the age where a Diesel mondeo Estate can go double the speed of a proper Mini Cooper S along a nationally famous bit of windy road.
The problem....... In order to feel like you are motoring in your modern car, you have to break the rules totally.
The Solution.......Go and buy an Austin A30 and take the shocks off. You will have double the fun of any porsche or TVR driver and be able to get white knuckles and make your passengers poo themselves at 25mph. Everyone including the cops are happy. Then when you finally get balls of steel. Take one Ford Capri, add a full race V8. Put big fat wheels on the front and 2CV wheels on the back. You will be able to impress the birds with massive burnouts and pull huge oversteer at about 15mph. Real fun at realistic speeds.
What is the evolution of transport. A car which does 130 in first and cruises boringly at 220 mph?
Get an A35 van and stop whinging about speed cameras.

) 100+ down the motorway 
I bought a perfect yard find A35 for £100 a few years ago, I whacked a 1275 midget engine and brakes on it. It was the most dangerous frenzied vehicle I have ever been in. Michael Schumacher only gets half the feeling heading at 220mph towards a wall of tyres and dodging them at the last moment. The A35 was seriously dangerous, to get that feeling you usually attract the attention of someone who phones the police right away, in a normal car, instead I had a queue of pissed off people wanting to overtake. And then there was my morris minor. I had some bald crossplies which had deteriorated and were like slicks as the rubber was sticky. That handled like the 1933 world record attemt as well.!
Hmmmm so, youre advocating driving a car with no suspension control....very smart.
Also suggesting that doing burnouts like some lax power chavver on Pizzahuts carpark is to say the least, not very well thought out.
Im quite happy to continue breaking all and any speed limits for as long as i can, ignoring totally the speed cameras that litter our highways as i know where they are, i know how they operate, i know how to beat them. As for 130 in 1st gear....id like that.

No, I don't believe any of that for an instance. I am firm believer in someone else cutting them down with a disc cutter. I believe in being judged by a fellow human as well. There is a beautiful stretch of road on my doorstep and indeed, people who can't control their vehicles properly are often killed on it, however putting a camera up isn't going to stop them. WHEN they put that camera(S) up, I am going to buy a petrol engined disc cutter. That's the fine line and when they step over it, I am going to do what the rest of the public should do. I am also of the school of thought that people speeding near women with pushchairs, lesbian trombonists or any other delicate individual should be fined more heavily. Out on the open roads, I say cut 'em down and when the "Scamera" squad ruin my favourite bit of road, I will ruin their camera. (Only kidding, allegedly, etc, etc).

I like him, he's seeely!
Sorry, me again.
Is it true that there are a group called MAD? Who cut down or destroy camera sites, if yes how do i join??
There are quite a few very hidden camera's around my area which arent needed. And could do with a few sticks of dynamite or a chainsaw, bring back vilagante's and bring the Autobahns to England.
