Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
What have I done to my RX8 today. With a heavy heart I've put it up for sale.:( Another RX8 in my little town, not seen one about these parts for years. I wonder if you have seen a silver R3 around? Do you mean Poynton? Not seen a silver one around there but there's one near Cheadle. I've seen a fe...

Re: It had to happen!
In simple terms, you have 12 points brfore you get banned. A slap on the wrist (say 35mph in a 30mph zone) would be £60 and 3 points. Points stayed on your licence for 3 years. Bigger offences = bigger points and over 100mph (in a 70mph zone) used to be where instant bans became likely. No idea how...

Re: It had to happen!
I've admitted the offence....I am not trying to get off with anything except maybe the fine being fair.....I'm resigned to the fact I'll have three points. I just hate parting with my money....especially when they are means testing which I find unreasonable for an offence such as this. I do, however...

Re: It had to happen!
Cool for you. Maybe the circumstances will work in your favour, maybe you'll get a lenient Magistrate. And maybe you and Kopite should retake your theory tests and go on a speed awareness course before you hurt someone. Driving a fast car doesn't give us the right to speed, only that we can . There...

Re: It had to happen!
The irony in your posts and the car you own is hilarious.....and I don't believe you never speed.....I don't believe anybody that claims to be hollier than thou. BTW....what did you do before relying on Cruise Control? Once again, I took what I perceive to be appropriate action and acted in accordan...

Re: It had to happen!
It amazes me how judgemental people can be without knowing the facts. It was NOT a residential area....there was no traffic on the road as it was 0615hrs. In my post I noted that it's my first ever speeding ticket which shows I am not a serial offender and quite alert to my surroundings. Not a bad r...

Re: It had to happen!
I agree that in this case it was almost a fair cop, however it was 06.30 NO traffic & i was just half asleep trundling along to work. There is only one tiny sign (which I didn't notice) & NO speed signs. I just have to hope for a fixed penalty & 3 points. I'm careful of speed 99% of the time, just ...

Joined the rear LED light club. Love 'em :D http://i.imgur.com/8HiXxSK.jpg They look great.....i'd like a pair but I think I'll wait for some to come up cheap.....£250 off ebay is a tad ott imho. If there's one criticism of the RX, it's the rear lights....tacky chrome, yuk. I've splashed the cash t...

Wish I'd kept the 400. They're probably worth in excess of £25k now and as for the RS500, £60k plus:(boosted wrote:I always wanted a manta! And a Fiat Strada Abarth...alas all rusted away now.
