Rich_Eason Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Rich, Your perfectly welcome to have an opinion if no one thought any different of anything in the world it would be a boring place and all of us would be driving identical focus's or something. Absolutely...which is why I didnt buy a flipping 'nother Focus! :rolleyes: Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I am just some1 who does not like to be "got wrong" if you know what i mean, dont want ppl to get the wrong impression. Speeding, thrasing my car, etc etc etc........not me. You cant hear me, but if you could i am sure that you would have taken it better, i can get carried away with these babies: !!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: :huh: Just defending my case :o Most of it was not aimed at you, i dont think that you have picked up on spelling mistakes, it just annoys me when it is quite obvious what i am trying to say. :D I liked it when someone (Z3?) picked up on my "dear" rather than "deer", that was funny. back on topic:I think it is all down to the roads, rather than the limits. As Wozza said, some national speed limit roads should not be 60's but some 30's should be higher, for instance.I think a little common sense needs to be injected to the road system. Quote
C4VTS Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 This nanny state we live in seem to think that reducing speed limits makes the roads safer, but they are so wrong !! People get frustrated by the ever decreasing speed limits and just end up flooring it because they eventually get so pissed off with having to go so slow to avoid a £60 and 3 points fine, just in case there is a camera hidden behind a tree!

Dont worry about it mate there online forums. If someone has a personal go at you i wont mind if you attack them. But these were not personal attacks and most of it was discussing the speed limits not the limiter which was a simple misunderstanding not something you should get so carried away with. I admit to occasionally ragging the car to hell but its good for the engine to be given a good thrashing occasionally. Those people that never see the red line there cars will take longer to run in. They will also never see the peak power a thrashed engine will. Doing this at university all the engines we thrashed all created better seals and had more power and torque. THose we broke in a bit more gently didnt. All new engines are broken in on the assembly line so it makes little difference. And speed limits are in most cases pointless the police are only there ot make money hiding behind corners etc its just stupid oh lets see how many we get so i can get paid more this week. I really wise more of them would get caught but oh no that wont happen cause they can get away with it. They can speed through cameras and nothing happens. Was a thing published a while ago 80% of police officers that get caughts by cameras get let off. While the rest of us have to pay up. How the hell is that fair?! Quote
Rich_Eason Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 A cop shop is just up the road from me, and a speed camera in a 40 limit dual carridgeway. I have seen more times than not a pig fly past me ping the lights on as he goes through the camera and turn them off to save slowing down. Also seen Ambulances do this too.... I suspect an "ISO Environmental Proceedure" to save wasting fuel by using the brakes?! Quote
