I wouldn't have had that.

The fines a bit s**t though, they could have just told you to change it.

I think it's always bound to happen Scott, I had my old ones on for 7 months, I had traffic cars behind me, normal panda cars.

The one that pulled me was an unmarked blue 4x4 (strobes in the grille) and he was a firearms officer, on his own. Bastard :lol:

I like the way we're not bothered... I got away without paying so I dont mind the fine :lol:

Thats the way i think aswell... I never pay in the gym car park so If I was to get clamped (they dont seem to issue tickets just put on clamps) I wouldn't mind paying as I owe them more. But also think...damn could've spend that money on the car or anything other than pay them lol...

£20 parking? thats not too bad. Its £50 round my end.

(I have appealed agains a parking fine I received and its been about 2 months now & they haven't got back to me weather I pay or not so does anyone know how long it takes, & when have I officiallu got away with it, which is unlikely)

Damn.. my posts are getting big :?

they wanted to know why i was trying to impersonate a german car when it was clearly UK registered. no mention of fonts etc they jus took the 'D' as an offence!! :roll:

they did take a lot of photos tho and said they'd not seen them before... gave me 8/10 for quality too! pair of comedians!! :twisted:
