Heading back from a relaxed lunch with my g/f this afternoon, and whilst on a dual carriageway heading back into hartlepool I noticed the front grill of a black Skoda Octavia VRs in my rear mirrors. Drove the next 4-5 mile at the speed limit whilst he followed me rather closely. Just as we entered Hartlepool, the flashy lights came on, and it was time for me to pull over. said he'd pulled me as I was a little bit rapid off the rondabout, and also becasue of my number plate. He didnt doa nything for the speeding, other than telling me to go easy on the right foot. But Ive been given a fixed £30 fine, and told to get my front plate changed ASAP (its an import sized plate). I was a little narked, but tbh he was a decent enough copper, and didnt make an issue outta anything (unlike that tosser a month ago who practicaly gave me an ASBO) So Im gunna start a sweepstake on when I shall next be pulled over!

Must have been around 12 ish. It was just after the turn off for the airport.

Cheers Now let the house hunting commence!

Spotted on the otherside of M8 as I was heading home from the boat. Coulda been Jay, but didnt get a good enough look to be sure.

Very saddened and shocked to hear about this Andrew. Mine and Lauras thoughts will are with your family, and we wish Phil a speedy recovery. If you need anything at all then you have my number. Just give me a yell anytime. Al

That sat-nav womans voice is so irritating I tend only to use it when Im hopelessly lost! Much prefer to listen to my music uninterupted. But as ian says, it should be the driver speaker that kicks in.

You on the rigs, or work on the boats (standby, AHTS??) There's a few MN members on here (me and Martinmac being 2 of them). Helpful bunch on here, any questions, just yell.

Did you not know Im a pacafist.......

Oh go on then, you twisted my arm. provided on a. Im not at sea, and b. Laura's ex aint there (he has a 300zx TT and we dont get on.

Takes pics guys! I'll be there in spirit....

A quick search is all thats needed..... CLICK HERE

IIRC its about 173mph.... Sure someone will have the proper figure soon fo ryou.

It could also be the proof that Liz was looking for that Marin spends too much time at ESR... ....after all , Phil was ill only the other week...... Coincidence? Hmmmmmm *scratches chin thoughtfully*

Dangerous things those cats.....

That'd be the forum Ive been a member of for the past 4 years.......

All Im gunna say is people should actually investigate things before they go commenting about such things as drinking oil, and engine "blowing up here there and everywhere" Thats how rumours start. Get the facts, then make the comments guys

Becasue of the way a Rotary works - 2 fuel injections per roatation - the only way to vaguely compare it to a conventional engine is to double the capicty. It's crude, and nasty. And was only used by the Govt so that it originally went in the high tax band before they rebranded them by CO2 emissions. As for kits - The Ings+1 kit is pretty damned good, and the Feed front nose looks stunning on black Rex's. I never had a kit on mine, but I almost bought the full Feed kit, but in the end sold up all together in favour of somethign with more power.

An RX-8 with the Renesis engine is classed by the DVLA as a 2616cc - S he's right about it being a 2.6 in a way. The kit is a Veilside replica by the looks of it. The alloys are the standard ones - thus only 18" If its the Six Speed box then its the hi-power version which runs 231ps - not 270 And that "custome LED tail light" is probs the sticker that you can get to cover the ight so it shows "RX-8" All in all the guy is a muppet, or its a scam, probs both

Adam, you've got text

Welcome from a half-jock currently in the barren wastes of Stornoway! Back to Greenock on Monday, that'll be a culture shock!

I loe the look of my Amuse front nose, and its the only one Ive ever really liked. But if you copy me, I shall have to kill you.

Put the rib ashore today to do a paper run, and spotted a fully Nismo kitted MY05 parked up near the Lifeboat station. Anyone here?

Amuse rocks! But then I am biased. Phil does both.

Snows been blowing horizontal here..... not being laying... ...but that could be somethign to do with being on water

We're a pretty small target! And we get enough abuse from the local trawlers and Creel boats without you joining in!
