My mate has got one too, quite slow though and not sure about the gearbox. Love the look of the car though. Think I would be more tempted to get an MRpoo.

All depends on where it get's fixed sooo...

Not yet! I have pushed for this to be done by a Honda dealership rather than the authorised repairer - was advised it would affect warranty - and you really don't want a Rover garage repairing your Honda. Not the done thing.

Probably get a courtesy car... will have to wait and see.

Three penalty points on my license and a ......... wait for it ................... SIXTY pound fine.

IIRC I said that I didn't detect any cameras north of Manchester.

On the way to the Arran meet I took the southern convoy via Dumfries on the A75 (also notorious for mobile cameras). One of the reasons being that Strathclyde police regularly use unmarked cars on the M74

Congrats on the FP Lee.

I once got one of them for 86 in a 60 (on A76) many years ago and was also relieved.

Now you tell me!

I have been up and down that stretch 2 or 3 times since getting the S, and have never seen any plod activity, but it has been a while since the last Blurtermeet.

First time I went down the M74/M6 was the first (and will be the last now ) that I have cruised at 100 kph (empty 3 lane m'way, dry sunny 7am sat' morning) for more than a couple of minutes.
