BTW, if you are coming down the M50 and onto A40 (suggested route as tis nice and scenic and avoids bridge toll) there are camera vans present with regular tedium on the A40 tucked away in the laybys...the signs are always out I think but not necessarily always a speed trap but the odds are that there will be one north or south

The M50 section is normally clean tho'...............famous last words eh?!

Billy...wot you doin? In fact, anybody on the forum is welcome, just turn up :wink:

Hangover and junior football not withstanding I wouldn`t mind tagging along, sounds like a laugh to me. I can`t see it happening though unfortunately but never say never and all that!

I laugh in the face of speed cameras Bandito! :lol:

Infact I had fun last night! Coming towards Old Market, in bus, outside lane, rigid on 30mph, "white van man" undertakes at about 50, of course, since there was a dirty great bus along side, he failed to notice the camera van on the corner! I noticed it long before, hence Iwas doing the limit.

Smile Mr. White van man, you've just had your picture taken!!! :D

Probably ECU having a laugh. Almost certainly just a sensor-related problem I would say. Check all electrical connections in sight, wiggle them around and try it again...

It`s ok Doc, everytime you read one of Bandit`s posts it feels like a weekend has gone by :lol:


This weekend meet-up sounds like quite a larf to me. Tim, what are your plans for the doors, repair or replace?
