Try vehicle wiring products I am sure they will do something suitable.

actually reading this again reminded me of my boy racing days
I used to own a fiesta supersort same sort of thing as my mini stripped 40's 244 cam ect ect

i remember being pulled up by what was at the time a concept police car, a mk3 granada roof lights were flushed in ect ect ... would have been around 90-91 a cool traffic car if you like that sort of thing
anyway this copper went mad i really meen fucking ballistic, he was shouting at me because of my racing around and using the road as a "race track" something along the lines of he had already a dead cocky boy racer this week on his hands, the guy was spitting he was so mad he got in his car slammed the door and drove off, i have to say i shit my pants i really though he was going do give me a hiding, i slowed down for a long time after that, he did me a favour imho as i was was getting worse and worse with racing people

Hi,
I got pulled in one of those roadside capers in the works van. Gave me a ticket for not wearing a seat belt, even though I was! I asked every copper there, and no one could tell me who had seen me with no seat belt on. I complained to the IPCC, the coppers have to use video cameras now!
I got a letter saying the matter was sorted, but they only admitted they'd fucked up on the phone, not in the letter!
LYING WANKERS!
Cheers,
Gavin :)

My Mini build diary

I work for a massive company that employs thousands, so naturally there are a few self centred, arogant wan*ers but in general most are decent people. Same goes with the police force, theres bound to be a fair share of n*b heads, especially those that are trying to work there way to the top and produce a ticket for anything they can. I can certainly sympathise with alex as ive been in a similar situation before.

up north police get done for speeding all the time (even though parliamentary power makes officers exempt ie they can speed if it involves their duty) if that lad was traffic cop, and is deemed "profesional driver" to class 1 he has to maintain standards by keeping "his eye" in how else is he meant to maintain the safe skills he has. as i recall at the time of the offence it was like 0330hrs ? no one on the road and he was testing a new police vehicle. (as response drivers they need to know the limits of their machines) the papers normally tell bull shit to start up a nice little shit storm for the police. i have not read the article totally but iam sure the car suffered a blow out or some technical issue with the car (this is backed up by the black box within the vehicle, not coppers bullshit) and he crashed it ? good job it was at that time and before he was chasing a rapist etc through traffic at rush hour ?

iam not going to insult your driving capability by entering into an argument because u and i were not there, i am also privvy to the real facts of the incident, you however are not ! you have been lead by a newspaper article which has alas done its job in tainting your views.... your info about speeds etc is noted however unless you know how to drive to police system which is way way way way way above and beyond any civil qualification, and the skill level is painfully tough then i would not pass comment ! there is always a risk in any journey that exceeds 20mph, 90 % of collisions that occur at speeds over 60mph end with fatalities....... and yes we do chase rapists peadophiles and worse !!! we dont want the scraots to go and hurt anyone else...however within Northumbria we run on the moto " no emergency is so great as to cause an accident" i would like you to list all the articles you have involving police RTC`s (where a skilled traffic officer is to blame ie he has ran someone over) you will find perhaps 1 over a 10 year period.. in any force area (not overall nation wide). you will however find countless (panda drivers) normally getting involved in a chase (which they should not) and they end up pushing the other driver too hard and that driver plows someone down....granted there have been many panda drivers who are reckless !!! and are to blame..these drivers are normally prosecuted to bits and fired. Up north police officers are prosecuted on daily basis for speeding the news dont hear about these as they wont get the publics levels of hatred rasied :):):)

Iam not having a pop at you folk, but remeber before you cast opinions about ANYTHING not just police......ask yourself " WAS I THERE? " if the answer is NO then really you cannot cast an acurate opinion based on facts


the main issue here 1071 buddy is nobody was hurt or killed and at the end of the day that is more important than any prosecution in the land.
well end of my rambling shite !
