Default Lack of speeding Scoobs
Noticed how much today just how economical scoobs are driving around now, I suppose that goes to everything with a thirsty engine really, but spotted 4 scoobs on the way to and from Jaffas today and all were just cruising along about the same speed I was and I was only in a 306 HDi french thing, no over accelerating at all, how times change, all due to the fuel price I suppose.

I dont think its just the cost of fuel, in surrey recently theres been alot of police cracking down on modified cars pulling anything and everything, not that i mind tbh there actualy doing a really good job and getting some heaps and idiots off the road, i do enjoy abit of a play but you just dont know whats behind you or round the corner.

Unless you know the car and the copper driving it

I was behind a police car with a brake light out & the P & O on the raer bumper had gone. So they dont spend money on the cars they have

When I got pulled it was by a relatively new black Beemer. The fuzz in the Caterham area have been using one (or more) orange Focus ST's for quite a while as well.

There's a Silver Audi A5 that is always zipping up and down the A22. Often see it on the Hailsham bypass.
