watching sky news, alistair darling talking about road charges and during a motorway shot, what should be in the outside lane of the M25 but a dark grey or black supe with veilside rear wing!! long shot but a bit of fun guessing whos it is!

you've had some good advice already but do three things: 1. write down everthing that happened, especially the kid waving as this just puts real doubt on their story. Do take photos of your car and be clear about where you first saw the people carrier and where you last saw it and record everything that happened in between. Take a statement from your mum. 2. Do visit your local police station and ask them about this notice of intent and record (written or otherwise) the response they give you 3. Do get some FREE advice from a Duty solicitor or other solicitor, usually the first half hour is free. Its all a lot of effort but worth it in the end. If you can show absolutely factual clarity you should be fine. good luck

"delayed charge bail" basically means that they have released him pending further investigations and that the Crown Prosecution service will actually determine what the next course of action will be. Often this is because the Police have to gather further evidence to make any conviction stick and the more evidence of additional crimes the better chance the Crown Prosecution Service have of getting the offender into court with a successful conviction. If the offender has commited a number offences the level of bail may mean that he is remanded in custody pending further investigations, ie. gathering and confirming evidence ready for prosecution. Northamptonshire Police use this a lot, whether it they use to ensure firmer convictions i am not too sure, but it is likely that the tosser who nicked your car is likely to be hit harder than if he was charged by a custody sergeant for the offence he was arrested for. Lets hope I am right.

Love to have come but I will be at Brands Hatch thrashing the race car. P

can only do 7th May and 21st May. Phil

I'd be interested in coming along too, although my Soop has been locked up since November with no tax, so plenty of warning so i can give it a dust off. Phil

were you looking for one for yourself then? or is it the mans idea of window shopping for the wife, drive by style.

anyone know anybody or company that wants to sponsor my race car?? Sponsor a Race Car

problem solved, it was battery even though all the electrics seemed fine. RichardA, where did you get your trickle charger from, Halfords? seems like a wise investment. Phil

simple stuff, but the car has been garaged for a while, battery is fine, the starter motor clicks but does not fire the engine. The car is an auto so rocking might not help, any suggestions?

i'll buy it!! i presume it is a 60mm gauge? Phil

dont take no for an answer, they will deny responsibility until you start to take legal proceedings. I pushed hard, took photos, and the lawyer of the council even had the balls to say I was a wreckless driver, so I scribbled some notes on the letter they sent with words such as defamation, inaccurate, misleading etc and they must have thought it was from a lawyer!! I then applied to small claims, £60 to register, and then they decided to settle out of court including costs. took a few months but the feeling was of satisfaction!!

great day thanks all and good pics too Laz. Phil. Sher and the little tantrum girl

we are all set for sunday so no change to the plan and lookng ofrward to it as is my 2 yr old! she likes pubs P

yep, I will be there too!! Phil E
