I've gone and done it now

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I know. Blistering speeds. I'm pretty sure my tyre tracks are still smoking.

I'm planning on it if I get the chance.

I'm half tempted to ask if they've got a more accurate figure than 46mph.
45.9 is less than 46.0, if you know what I mean, but I don't want to piss them off either.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I'm not saying you were speeding. But if you were don't admit it on here. They used another forum to prosecute a guy earlier in the year.

Depends how accurate your SJ speeo is too. Mine is about 25 years out.

I'm not saying I was or I wasn't either, my speedo waggles around like a dogs tail on some occasions. I just go with the flow and apparently the flow was doing 46 miles an hour.
