The Surf parlour of heaven...is Back !

[John h]

Just to update you that we now have Blue springs on the back and orange springs on the front ! New Insah ATs fitted new Back brake master cylinder nitrogen gassed up tyres, fully serviced with a new range of Salon Proffessionals, now I want a new stereo ! cos I'm worth it

[Hawaii]

nope, police just sent the fixed penalty thingy through the post - no option of a "driver awareness" course.

just paid the fine, took the point and moaned about it to anyone who would listen

Yeah - as a Hampshire resident I'm damned glad I got nicked in Wiltshire !!!

(Even if it did mean driving up to Swindon to do the damned course)

[John h]

Actually it's £60 - just the same as the fine BUT there's no points !

I know coa I got done in Salisbury while towing the tin tent ...

When they first started this scheme there was no Penalty fee at all ! now it has gone up to £85, but as Bob says it saves 3 points adorning your licence however there are still regional differences with some local Forces not adopting or dropping the scheme in total, opting for the 'income only' strategy instead !

[Predictable Bob]

You still have to cough up £40 for the 'training' wossname too!

Err No Si I haven't painted the underside of my truck ! Unlike another Surf 'specialist' however After new springs and tyres You may see a certain upgrade of chassis standards !

As long as your 3rd gen is clean, you're in!

John's truck is always spotless, he even make's your truck/trucks look dirty "& that's saying something".

Didn't they give you the option of a Driving training day rather than 3 points and a fine ? must admit my Brother-in-law had all on to hold his temper as they goaded him , expecting him to 'walk' so they could enforce the 3 points and extend the fine, but he was a good lad smiled sweetly and said yes sir no sir in all the right places ! They have just received their NRF Monies (Neighbourhood renewal fund) so Road safety will still be on the agenda so watch your speed on that route this summer !

[slobodan]

Are you serious? you were fined for doing 41 in a 40 limit?

market weighton - nice to know the boy's in blue are keeping the roads safe rather than tackling "real" crime (wait for the replies on that one!!!)

I've got over it now

Yes Oh Surf God !

the garage valet was poor so went down to sister's place got the garage fully lit quick wash down then a couple of hours with my friend AutoGlym

got to re-dress the rear load area cover then 99% there !

[BUSHWHACKER]

I haven't got a caravan, does that mean I'm out of the team ?

As long as your 3rd gen is clean, you're in!

[John h]

So let me see, ah Yes ,just going out of Howden ? speed camera Van ? or Market Weighton stretch near Shiptonthorpe long straight and done by High speed camera car (mitsi Evo in silver ) ? A1079 is littered with Gatsos as well !

as it's you of course not. You could always as Si says, drive just under the speed limit on all A & B riads and have a nice long happy band of followers.

Must admit tho' I'm not a slow tow-er and the surf pulls the van very nicely on the speed limit (honest officer) just hope it doesn't bottom out over the bumps now with new shocks & springs on.

I did get a speedong fine a couple of years ago on way to Bridlington (41 in a 40 limit) £60.00 and 3 points, happy days
