Now considering that driving is an all encompassing affair including all elements you ought to see how Dreamer managed to park the pimpmobile the other day - its about 6 feet away from the edge!!!!

Doesn't bode well for your comments ladies

Mine reads 72/73 when doing 70 according to GPS you will be fine.

I did indicated 44 in line sight of a van in a 40 and no ticket. GPS says 42 at 44

But parking isn't proper driving. Like PL says, Dreamer was just being cautious with the alloys.

Now track days, that's a different matter. Guess I'll see at the next one Kelk...

I've been past camara vans (it pays to know the roads where they hide out around the bracknell, reading & basingstoke areas!)
I noticed a camera van on the Nine Mile Ride last Friday , parked up in a hedgerow after the brow of a hill .

Good luck Dreamer

Sneaky lot aren't they? They usually park up after the brow of a hill, around a bend and or in a hedgrow and the back of the vans appear matt black when the doors are opened to deploy the camera's (and yet the official line is that they don't hide these camera's - you've got more chance of spotting a stealth bomber ).

If you ever use the A33 between Swallowfield and Basingstoke keep a good look out along there and especially when you happen accross the dual carraigeway coming into Basingstoke as they love to hide a camera van under the bridge there (you won't see it until its too late - due to a bend and a dip in the road - and the temptation to speed up and get past all that slow traffic that has been holding you up until that point is v tempting!).

Where's nine mile ride, that sounds familiar.......

Thanks Pinkie, I really worry now as I'm on 6 points after 101mph Won't take much to get me to the magic 12, and we know that points DON'T win prizes !!!!

And as for the pimpmobile parking debacle, well how can i park if i can't see out the back window, especially when there is a kerb and trees hanging out that I didn't want to scratch your baby's paintwork on......

I sense an upcoming girls v boys challenge

Its the road that runs from the A322 at Bracknell past Coral Reef and raquetts, amazingly its 9 miles long and goes past Crowthorne Wokingham and Finchampstead
