51x Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I only got my car back Friday night (wehay!!!)... I'm trying to run it in all carefully so I've been driving around in the middle of the night. 3am, I'm coming out of Rochford in a 30 limit and a taxi catches me up. I can tell he's getting the right hump cos I'm pulling off roundabouts slow as f*ck... he's up my ass, looking around me... then we get to a straight and he blasts past. A couple of hundreds metres up the road I see 2 flashes as he's caught by a gatso. Yeah, you really don't wanna get stuck behind me a the mo. Then this morning I'm on my way to work and a f'kin squirrel jumps into the road chasing what looked like a bird. I smacked me anchors on and swerved to miss it. It wouldn't have fit under me SE nose, so maybe I collected it for a while (comedy style). No guts in the rear-view. Dunno where it went.

Guest Matty Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 It probably hooked onto the SE nose and went for a ride, waited till you next stopped and got off........... ..........crafty them squirrels............ :D Matty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGroves Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 There are a shitload new speed cameras in southend, 2 in the a127 40mph limit, they have succesfully killed off all the safe roads that were used for speeding and have left the dangerous ones in place for people to kill themselves on.

(can't get these pics to come up automatically because (in the edit screen) IMG code is set to OFF. Don't know why? Mike?) hehe :D - Gio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeGroves Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 lol, it was a good air display, one red arrow flew over my house at about 300 foot. That SAM launcher was amazing, it was tracking the planes as they flew past, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51x Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 Yeah, a quality show... but I only saw mostly low-level stuff cos we were watching from inside Papillons ;) Ug, beeer. I was standing right in front of the one of the SAMs (were there two?) while two helicopters were doing their stuff - a firm lock on one of them for the duration! Top.
