Str8Six area Tallivan tactics warning

[Targarama]

Dropped my T350 off for a service this morning (I spotted Lensey's car's there at the same time again and a lovely rebuilt T440 being finished off for the TAG event). The local tallivan likes to sit under the M40 where the limit is 40mph. Well he's now moved up behind some hedges past the bus shelter as you're heading North under the bridge - be warned. Hard to spot.

Luckily the Perodua's speedo is wildly optimistic, I'm sure my 45mph wasn't really 45 (oh, I got the one with a stereo this time!).

Didn't know he had one with stereo.

Tallivan is there alot, pointless 40 limit is a good cash cow.

[Lensey]

Thanks for the heads up, picking mine up tomorrow

It was on the back of the low loader this morning. You might want to check

First time I've seen the van hiding in bushes past the bus stop though (plus they've been 'out of business' for a few months, Oxfordshire just started up again).

Yes, it's all ready, they put a new rad in last week and the fans had dodgy connections so they had to put a couple of new terminals in and make sure everything was working this time.

Those wheels really suit it btw!

Have you got around to having the front end sprayed yet?

The Perodua is parked in the garage (out of sight), Mrs Targ just went out to fetch something and came back to tell me that the car reminds me of a Johnny Cab from Demolition Man. She's right!

Nearly Everytime I get close I find something else to spend the money on, going to have to be after Le Mans now

Targ, I was too early for them this morning

Cheers, I think they go well too, would look even better if I hadn't taken a chunk out of two of them

Well you will be pleased to know my reverse light now works. Only took me three months to get around to it!

[Lensey]

I know what its like, I still have things on my 'to do' list from when I got the car

Dropped my car off on Saturday... is it weird that I felt a little sad leaving without the Perodua
