And yeah that would be me doing around 100 in my car, which is actually 90 because my speedo is a nice easy 10% out. If i see a speed camera (that i should have already been warned about) ahead its quite easy to just blip off 20 back to 80 on my speedo and be within what the camera wants

For gods sake don't youtube it

Haha, you'd love it by the sound of things

Right working out from the last trip i averaged ~80 (actual) over the whooole trip, so yeah not actually as much as i expected. Thats sounds alright to me Happy now?

Either way, you're still making good progress to do that journey in this sort of time frame.

Don't take it as a slap in the face as it was most certainly not intended as one

Apologies for not responding last night but my hotel internet connection died. My comment was slightly tougue in cheek, imagine I had a obviously fake sad face on as I said it

Because this is a small community compared to most other forums and a lot of people are friends in RL I actually like to learn stuff about other members and to me as a car geek I'd find it quite interesting to find out how you did all those miles.

Maybe you drove one of those mega mileage Golfs all over Europe delivering diamonds, maybe you were a truck driver or maybe you had a fuel card and far too much free time?

Most people on BD are happy to share parts of their life on here, if you're not then fair play and tell me to bugger off but don't be suprised if some of us express an interest in what you do when you're not posting on here

I'm a fairly private person, that's why I tend not to go into too much detail as it might look like I'm typing the written equivalent of putting my thumbs in my ears and shouting "ner ner". I don't do the whole point scoring thing on internet forums, but when people don't know you they don't always realise this and the arguments start from there.

So, sorry if you thought I was being a little short with you (5'9", so don't start ) and if you ever think one of my posts directed to you is a little acidic then ask me to clarify it before assuming the worst.

On a similar note are there guidelines as to where the roving speed cameras can set up?

I only ask as I saw one yesterday that was parked slightly dangerously and very illegally.

I was under the impression that Police can only park illegally, ie double yellow lines, central reservations between 2 same direction lanes etc, if it's an emergency.

If this is correct then would you be able to argue the fact that they were illegally parked when the ticket was issued if you were caught speeding by one of these badly set up cameras.

As far as i knew the mobile units can only be set up on pre determined mobile sites.
