It'll be seriously gay if we have to put standard plates on the back of our Starlets.

Front and rear bumpers are 96/97 spec, seats are 96/97, lights are 96/97. Nothing suspicious at all there to me mate.

Enzo, could you fill me in on these import plate laws please? I've searched in many places and not found any information regarding this, one thing I have found is that it's now illegal to provide plates without a special license as of November 1st but I can't find anything about import plates.

Didn't find it very funny, I think annoying is the word? Possibly might of been about 8 years ago, but then I just wanted to save the rest of the tabs on my Firefox.

JAG, just download Firefox, it's a billion times better than IE.

Weird that you say that. Didn't they mention it to you when you got pulled? Also, another weird thing is the prick that pulled me even radioed in trying to get me on an illegal number plate and the station radio'd back that it was fine on an import?

Good pics as always mate. I need to take some bloody tyre cleaner with me or something as my road shits on the tyres, they look filths.

I also use PayPal all the time, and I've been scammed just like what happened here. I sold an Xbox 360, the guy paid by PayPal, started transferring to my bank and then he came and collected it. Since PayPal had now said the money was mine I assumed I had no need for concern. A few days after that I got an email from PayPal saying that the bloke had reversed the transaction. They wouldn't say why as it could be for many reasons, one of which could be a stolen credit card. There are so many ways people can do it and you will find thousands of people on Google that have been stung by it. I sold the Xbox for several hundred pounds (it was the week of release) and I still have not seen a penny back of that money, nor have I seen the Xbox. Don't go telling me it's not possible, as I've been a full on victim of it.

Yes you can, obviously.

http://www.onlinegamesector.com/hra.aspx?p...k&game=4140 I got to level 13, who can get further?

I found out the guy who gave me the fine today also works as a dog listener. (Yes, he "listens" to dogs.) Snippet from the site: Dog Listeners are a group of dog lovers who have all been personally trained. We are all very proud to have completed the Advanced Course of Canine Communication and are all Associate Dog Listeners. Maybe he has got keen ears after all, because I didn't think they were capable of saying anything?

Did you really have to make my thread look worthless Geo? (Kidding ) Seriously though, that's mad.

Do it guys, the more the merrier, if I lived anywhere near I for sure wouldn't even think before helping the guy out.

What a prick, give him what he deserves mate. That site doesn't exist though?

I've never once been spoken to by an Officer other than when I was 19 carrying a crate of beer to a mates Birthday which they tried to confiscate. I don't drive like a twat, and I have driven past numerous Police cars lately and not one has batted an eyelid at me.

Well I guess it's looking like the dirty pig might win this time. I can't find any solid evidence supporting the 101dB limit, as Dave and Rubix have said it seems to be at the Officer's discretion. An absolute joke that he can fine me for something that could pretty much be a figment of his imagination for what anyone else knows. I didn't even have the engine running when he got out of the car, it was purely what he must of heard in his car, which couldn't of been a lot, if anything. Really pissed off at the moment, as I was hoping there would be some solid laws regarding it, but it looks like I'm going to just have to take it this time. My next problem is that I can't afford to get a different exhaust at the moment, so if he see's me again then I could be pretty much screwed.

We need a swear filter on this site, purely for the word 'pie'.. Nothing else.

I take it that was just a verbal warning and they let you go? I didn't really think of that at the time, and I didn't really want to hang around potentially getting myself more than the £30 fine I've already had. It's definitely not loud, I wouldn't say quiet but comparing mine to Rick's when he had the Glanza it was nothing. And nope, the engine wasn't cold, I'd been driving for 25-30 minutes by the time he pulled me.

That's brutal mate, first time I've ever been stopped as it goes I guess I've been quite lucky in that respect. It's a bugger they got you for the plate though, what are you going to do about that?

I contacted my local police station for advice today, they were actually quite helpful. They said that the excessive noise level is at the Officers discretion, and basically said that it was the worst he could've given me. They asked for his name and they kind of knew that it was going to be him or someone like that by the sounds of things. Clearly just a jobsworth out to waste my time and money. I was told to get myself to a MOT Testing Station that will do a dB check or the Environmental Health Agency. Then to get the dB reading in written proof and attach that to a written letter of appeal. I was told this rather late in the evening so I only managed to ring 2 MOT testing stations. It doesn't seem they even normally check the dB on cars to see if they're too loud or not, and neither of them had a dB reading machine. I can see this being a complete pain in the arse now trying to find a garage that knows the rules around this and that also has a dB machine.

To be honest judging by his attitude/general grumpiness and the fact he was a complete cunt, I'll take a stab at every night being a bad night for him.

I think there may be a point there with regards to the whole you'll never win against the Police situation. Right now I'm thinking of just paying the fine, adding a silencer to the exhaust and a Nur Spec Baffle Bung to the tip: http://www.temple-tuning.co.uk/blitz-nur-s...bung-3179-p.asp A part of me really wants to win this battle though, purely because I actually tried being decent to the copper at first but he just treated me like a rapist or something.

Yup it was a dual carrigeway. I think it may be at the officers discretion whether he decides to do me for the excessive noise or not?

Centre section has been removed though, it's just a straight pipe.
