Default 1st speeding ticket... :(

I'm gutted, the guy that i bougth my00 from emailed me telling me that 3 days after i bought it from him, he had a speeding fine through the door...... he apologised and said he had to grass on me, which is understandable, but i cant belive it.......ten years without one and I've had a lotus elan, TVR and a fiat coupe turbo plus and nothing, nada, not a thing and 3 weeks into VTEC and i get done....damn, I'm so addicted to VTEC......
I'm so vigilent and always look out for anything, i'm gonna have to be very careful as I can feel the darkside callin me....."Go on, give it VTEC"......!!!
On a plus side he also told me that he has found the tonneau cover and said that i can have it.

P.s, not had anything through the post yet and not sure what to do with it, i'm sure I lent it to my mate that day who now has flown back to Canada....

I've heard of a special set up you can get for your S2000 which reduces your acceleration and top speed so as to avoid further speeding tickets. It is particularly attractive to the newer S2000 owner.

If you are interested I suggest you PM JamieS2k and ask him to email to you a list of his go-slow mods, featuring the all-new granite wheels and "please can my engine have some more hot air" PRM air intake

very funny.


He could always try the exhaust option, when it gets so loud and unbearable you know you are doing at least 50 !!!!!

There are a few of us with 18's so how come I am the scapegoat !!!


Its actually quicker with 18's anyway, corners are taken a lot faster and in the wet I would leave you bridgestone boys for dust (wet dust)

I think all this shows is you were going slow before, but then you do have a MCB

There's a big debate going on here at the moment whether to introduce a national speed limit (there isn't one at the moment). It will be a sad day indeed if/when we start getting plagued by speed cameras.

I've given my tuppence to the powers that be - now it's time to start lobbying the politicians...what a drag
