Mobile speed cameras

[yellow5]

I'm sure this is covered somewhere else but do mobile cameras (the nasty types in backs of vans) catch you facing or going away from them or both

[Byff]

From my experience, they normally have a laser type device aimed out the back window of the van to catch cars coming towards them.

Evil things, one caught the wife two weeks ago, just before we went on holiday.

Yep, I got caught approaching the sneaky b't'd parked up in a layby. He definitely got me on the approach as I'd just about braked to within the limit by the time I got level with him.

where was this?

they park up on cradlewell bypass by the cemetery quite a lot...also on the A1 north of the gosforth park turnoff

[yellow5]

just off the Redheugh Bridge next to Shell filling station, I should add it's often there, I just forgot, oop's

[mackempete]

theres one that hides under a flyover on the felling bypass. Its there quite a bit on saturdays and sundays.


Byff, how was the holiday? Glad to be back?

Sorry for the intrusion into this thread, but Pete - what's gone wrong so soon? Hope it's just niggles that needs sorting, you'd better get used to that and it'll save you a fortune if you learn how to sort them out yourself.

Mine has developed rattly back brake pads and the wiper motor has stuck on fast wipe. If it's not one thing it's your mother

BTW, I hope your putting your name down for the ToonHoonLike, we could do with another Cerb.

yeah sorry the hi-jack was my fault.
Though I do have some info relative to the thread. Theres a unmarked Slate Grey Volvo thats been operating on the A19 and A1018 for the past couple of weeks.

Byff, its nothing major I put the car in for a 12k service and top get a few bits and bobs done(diff seal, waxoil, blowing exhaust, millege stuck at 49999 ). Oh and it was running like a dog, two throttle pots were shot. I should get it back next week.

Whats the toonhoon? I've just signed up for the Cerb trip to the nurbergring next year, you fancy that one?

This thread here

Bit of a long thread, but the main gist is, bunch of petrolheads meet up for bacon sarnies, a few miles of countryside driving, back home, go out on the piss. All planned for the 16th.
