Brand new camera on the Macc road coming into Poynton cheshire. Cant have been there more than a week, and the macclesfield solution is to just turn it to point harmlessly at the houses Probably the one that campaigned for it to be put there in the first place, Brilliant.

Sorry but I just had this vision of some poor sod on top of his wife giving it plenty and the gatso pointed into his bedroom window going berserk just as he gets to the vinegar stroke.

Talk about self-financing, the pictures should be worth a couple of bob

nonegreen, matt

I hadn't noticed that camera either and I as I live in Poynton I regularly drive that road - we should get a TVR meet on sometime!

Matt, roadsweeper. I'll give you a clue. I live closer to Poynton than Macc and the nearset town with roads worse than this is Johanesburg. Also one of our councilors has just been done for performing lewd acts in public (Yes he was the champion green resposible for loads of daft bumps and bus lanes and shit and i hope I am on the jury). Shoot me an email sometime.

I am indeed going to Chatsworth - surely we have to meet-up and drive there in convoy, even though it's not very far!

nonegreen: I'm not sure where you mean - the roads are all crap around Poynton! Regarding the cameras, I went to Macc yesterday and didn't see any. Do you by any chance mean the ones on the way to Stockport just after the Fiveways (if coming from Poynton direction)? I noticed that these are pointing in the wrong direction and was wondering if they might be the front-on cameras, but I haven't check out the road markings yet so can't be sure.

For info, I've got a 1999 S-Reg Chimaera 4.0 in Imperial Blue.

Roadsweeper. We will have to go in convoy but you'll have to promise not to drive too fast. I've only got a 1.1 Fiesta you know!!

BTW were you in Macc at about six o'clock this evening? (Wed) I saw a blue Chimaera that I've seen a couple of times this week.

I don't think I'm related to anyone called Simon. I couyld be wrong I've got bloody hundreds of cousins, uncles, 2nd cousins, third cousins, aunties etc.. He's not Irish by any chance is he?

Chatsworth on the 9th of June, a Sunday. Loads of Pistonheaders are going, even the almighty Ted.

Matt:

It was indeed me in Macc on Wednesday evening - well spotted!

If we go in convoy I promise not to use any more than 1/4 throttle

Incidentally, took on a brand-new Lotus Elise on the way to Oulton Park on Thursday. He caned it as we entered a National Speed Limit zone and I promptly reeled him in on lovely, long sweeping bend and then pulled out for the overtake as the road straighted (I'm not going say what speed we were doing at this point! ) only to be denied by traffic coming the other way. Anyway, he drove like a granny for the rest of the time I was behind him - I love TVRs!

I don't think Si Bachelor has any Irish connections so you're probably not related... though you never know with these things.
