Welshguy Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Anybody here attending? I have my ticket booked - a boys day out! Not sure if I'm going up on the 7th or 8th yet, as my brother is making all the arrangements. Looks like we are taking my C4, so will be there with it hopefully all detailed! Will take a look at C4owners.co.uk now..maybe they are organising stands etc? Would be good to show off the car rather than leave it in the car park! Quote
Welshguy Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Which event you talking about?? Sorry...should have been more specific..I was referring to the "Donny Show 2007" - check out http://www.donnyshow.co.uk/ . I have been before and it was a great laugh. Quote

wozza Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 The thing is the majority of people wont say a thing to anyone. As well its nothing to do with them why should they care is the mentality but if it happened to them they would all be moaning about why no one saw them and did anything. Quote

I can't believe anybody had the gall to attempt something like that! @ Ham Nice pictures you got there! Any of your C4? Quote
Rich_Eason Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Just a shame the Scooby didnt fall off the jack on to the person helping themselves to the wheels. I'm with Wozza on this one, however even when you do intervine the Police tend not to have an ounce of common sence in these matters. They must have got in the boot to have got the "useless pancake" out....but then I suppose they took the bootlid too... :blink: Quote
wozza Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Boot lid is still there by looks of it as the spoiler is still attached. You would think that would be one of the items to go really. Quote

ham's c4vts Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 How could you tell?? oh hang on... :lol:the wheels and the evil reg plate :rolleyes: :P Quote
Welshguy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 the wheels and the evil reg plate :rolleyes: :P They do the job ! :lol: I'm actually thinking about getting some French style plates made up, but I can't decide if it's worth the hassle from the Po-Po :P Quote
wozza Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Id say no as they will likely pull you for the plates then notice the windows and do a check on them. Quote
idlerobbo Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Why is there a limit on how tinted your side and back windows can be? Mine are tinted - was thinking of getting them darker thats all... p.s. sorry i have habit of hijacking threads - i wont do it again! Quote
wozza Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 the law states that you can have anything rear of the B pillar. But the driver and passenger window and windscreen are allowed a 30% max tint which is what most of them come with out of the factory. Any darker and you can be asked to take it and get it tested and show its road worthy. Think its to around 50% lightness they do that if its too dark think 70% or so they give you the option of taking them off there and then or you dont continue to drive the car. But this is only on cars with near enough black tints. Basically front 3 windows should not be tinted the rears can be. Quote
Welshguy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Good point Wozza, but I was thinking along the lines of: 1. Never been pulled in 2 years of driving so local police like my car :rolleyes: If you drive half sensibly and dont look like a chav then your pretty unlikely to be "picked on". 2. French plates look closer to UK spec than German plates that police frown upon.. Quote
wozza Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah but tints means the need to test it. Seeing a dodgy plate is just an on the spot fine. Quote
idlerobbo Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 am i being stupid though... what about limos? they have tinted glass that you cant even see though from the outside... maybe ill leave mine as it is! Quote
welshys90 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 theyre limo blacked windows i think they differ from the law but still the first 3 windows are normally not tinted only the ones behind the driver with a limo black one behind him as the screen Quote
