It's about as close as most people can get to doing a defensive driving course in their owns cars unfortunately Damn govt cardigans, give us back our skidpan!

I've sent a PM to the last person to issue a warning, should have an answer one way or the other shortly.

The box next to "Restrict posting indefinitely" is ticked on that account.

Lee - done. You owe me Danial - we can't change to an existing name without authorisation from the original account holder. If you can't log into the old account, the only way we can validate you as the account holder is by the email address the account was registered with. I've sent an email to your old account's address, as soon as I get a reply to it I'm happy to make the swap.

"This is an excellent car with very low k's" and "The vehicle is fully serviced and comes with dealer warranty." Slayer?If only the new owner was aware of its distinguished history.

Spotted 34-JET, while I was stopped at a set of lights. He was walking across the pedestrian crossing in front of me

Topic cleaned up and business names removed as per the forum guidelines. If you have to discuss names, keep them to PM.

Yes there is more than one type. The item for sale appears to be a bolt-in replacement for the factory dump (ie bolts onto the stock downpipe), hence the 2.5" outlet.

Used to live in North Ipswich, family still live out that way so I'm in town from time to time

And I bet a jet ski would be faster than both of them across water, a Landcruiser would tow a trailer better, and a Mazda 3 hatch would be better for the shops... He said it owed him that much. That'd include buying it, and the multitude of engines it's had in it over the years. But yeah, 100k (pounds!!) is a big chunk of cash. I think you're underestimating how much things cost

I voted for 500rwhp because I value performance over bling. My old 33 made a touch over 400rwhp but looked like a lowered stocker with cooler, tinted windows and 17s. As long as the car is tidy, give me stock body/interior over white leather, neons, stereo, massive wings and the like. My personal preference is for understated before an enormous body kit.

Sounds like a horrible ordeal. I'm not going to pass judgement on what you should or should not have done - it's been and gone, "could" and "should" mean 3/5 of bugger all after the fact. I'm just glad that you and your daughter are OK. Actually in a way it's lucky she's as young as she is, she's probably too young to properly understand the danger she was in. Life-long phobias have started from far less serious events than this. Best of luck getting your car repaired

No probs mate, I understand your frustration

Taken to PM...

Nice work, best of luck! Stories of cops raping people with ridiculous fines are very common, but it's not often you hear of anyone successfully fighting them... let's hope this one ends happily and fairly. Sounds like this cop should be permanently on desk duties in a department as far removed from traffic and vehicles as possible.

I am well aware of what a PDF/EPS file is, and that postscript, being a standardised PDL, is going to be consistent regardless of what kind of file it's embedded (or encapsulated, hence EPS) in. I'm also aware that in image terms, vector refers to an image storage method that uses point data (vectors) to store an image, rather than what coloured dot goes in what place. My point was that we sent a large number of formats, not how these formats compare to eachother. Some places demand files in specific formats, hence why we have the files saved in several already. I do understand what you're saying wrt colour matching too, the image was not created with a colour profile attached, but it was sent to them with a note of what we wanted and Mud got a proof back which looked the goods. It was approved and the plate did not match the proofs. Proof <> product = their fault, unfortunately they have a monopoly and we can't go anywhere else Given that they haven't been very helpful so far it might be a while before we get what we've asked/paid for...

Oooh cat fight! Anyway, remember that this *is* a sports car forum, any post about a Camry is going to be met with boring/bland/FWD/slow/boat comments - most people here will place styling, power, handling and driver involvement over and above boot space, seating capacity, fuel economy and NVH.

Can't believe we didn't check that :s *pimp hands self* Aah well glad to hear it's back up and running mate

Yes the original file was created from scratch in vector format, it was NOT converted from a raster format like jpeg or bitmap. Once the file was created, it was saved in various formats - EPS and AI (vector) and JPG, BMP and PDF. These file formats have all been provided, and PPQ were able to (eventually) give us a reasonably good pic for the plates, with only the colour needing adjusting. How they managed to stuff up a straight red is beyond me, but I thought that was the only problem with it? Quick note: EPS refers to a file format, not to whether the image is stored in a vector (infinitely-resizable) or bitmap (dots).

Saw 70YRB on Monday driving along the M1, nice 32

The original file was done in Adobe Illustrator, and converted ("save as" in Illustrator) to EPS, PDF, BMP and JPG formats. The AI and EPS docs were both in vector format, obviously BMP and JPG weren't, but either way PPQ should have been able to take the files we sent them, apply their standard red to the S, and it'd be sweet. I don't know why they have had so much of a problem doing this! AFAIK, they were supplied with both vector and raster versions of the file. I re-checked the original AI file earlier today and the colour code on the S is straight red.

I thought we already had a good logo, but PPQ kept stuffing up the colours?

There are still a few track days and things you can sign up for, but the govt is slowly cutting motorsport off at the knees. Get in, learn something and have some fun before they ban everything that doesn't require you to wear a cardigan. *cough* shameless plug *cough* But yeah agreed, SDT are the shiz
