Not from me....

I can understand the frustration (in your job) of people getting away with this and the havoc it will inevitably cause.

It only makes it worse when they post on an internet forum what they are going to be doing and there is little in reallity than anyone can do to stop it.

Modern technology is certainly helping (ie, ANPR) and I was really pleased to see some of the mobile ANPR cameras in Ipswich the other week with real people sitting beside them taking notes of other things of interest (at least I assume that's what they were doing) and the stickers on (fairly new) clamped cars about what was going to happen to them should start to get the message across.

But if someone is arrogant enough to post on a "performance" forum how they are going to blatantly break the law, I hope your colleagues somewhere in a 220 mile radius of North Walsham get him soon - before he kills someone inoccent.

on this forum you need to earn the respect of others, bravado and bullshit cuts no ice here,

what will earn you respect is being honest and showing you are a commited motoring enthusiast, what will not is buying a car off ebay insuring it as a thou and ploughing it into the nearest ditch.

this workis in a similar way to insurance, if you put in the time and effort you will be rewarded with a sub 300 pound premium like i have been, if not yo end up cycling


that said at the end of the day guys, chances are he'll get two speeding tickets in the first week and loose his licence anyway.

You are all right that anyone who purposely avoids proper insurance should be punished.

However, we have a 17 year old lad here who has probably never insured a car before, does not understand the rules and has not actually driven the car yet.

Hmmm.... I can't believe that even a 17 year old (who has paid over £2k for a 28 year old car) doesn't understand the rules.

It's pretty clear on all insurance applications (paper or internet) what you have to disclose.

And even if that wasn't clear, where does the "parenting" (to quote from another recent thread) come in ????

If you read his other posts, he wants to know how fast it will go and how to make it faster..... I think that probably means he knows it's not a standard 998.

yeah i think its about time he had a say.

i think everyone is right in what they have been saying and i think that it just sounds like we might be being harsh as everyone has had thier say, as we rightly do on this forum, and he has either not had the chance to get back on and reply to this to redeem himself or he has decided to ignore it.

i hope it is not the latter and that he can come back on and do the right thing.

yes adam is in the wrong and does definatly need to insure the mini as a turbo and declare all mods, BUT i dont think anything is gained by calling people, and its not very welcoming, if after reading this adam then fails to insure it properly then he deserves the replies but i think there a little uncalled for, we were all 17 once and were all a little naeive (cant spell that sorry). give him a chance.

rant over

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
