You're a lucky boy! You must have met the right Garda at the right place at the right time. (presumably at the end of a fairly long straight stretch!) Where did you get caught as a matter of interest??

N4 just outside Blanchardstown,apparently they had just started the new road safety campaign,in all honesty the sargeant who read the riot act did put in some good words for me with the judge,so no complaints! wont be doing that again in a hurry!

90 mph over the limit! Also not the greatest stretch of road, IIRC. How did you get away so lightly? Offer to bear the judges children?

The 2 bikers that got caught @ 147 and 157MPH back in 2003(dual carrigeway) got 12 months(I think they served 3), so you was lucky

I bet your a$$ went when you saw the lights!

Was you pushed into the back of a police car? If so, what happened to your car during your stay in prison? I'm guessing a plod drove it back to the station?!?

WR1 isn't it (met you at Elite the other week)?

i had a mate with me who had his license revoked for medical reasons,they did ask if he would drive it to the stn ,but no,so i guess the police drove it back,it was collected from the station nicely locked up in the police parking area only,on the way to the court the police said they would lock it well out of the way, luckily my mate held the keys as we said he needed access to the car to get medication etc,lets just say the car got to the ferry!!!!

was at elite,they made a great difference to the drive.

Is a good set-up..

Just asked as someone else I know was pulled in a 300zx with Veilside kit etc and the police left it parked on the street in Ilford - unlocked... At least they treated yours with care.

Drives a lot better - swung it onto the first roundabout and just swept round. No more understeer that I got with hard driving - v impressed. Problem is I think i have caught the modifying bug and likely to head up to Hayward & Scott this weekend as you suggested.

You will be laughing bout it down the pub soon....... maybe
