Just wanting to get an idea of where I stand from peoples experiences I have just got my summons for when I got impounded and I have been charged with Careless Driving and Intentional loss of traction which to none I have admitted just wondering whats the possiblites I could be facing and also take into account I am at the moment serving out a 6 month suspension for speeding.

well if you were impounded - and if the reasons for the impound was similar to charges...

Not going to get very far I'm afraid as impounding isn't exactly taken lightly, nor does it sit well.

Lawyer up etc etc, but prepare for 6 months of walking.

I've been told from some mates that if your just honest, and be nice and open to the judge u can get out of alot...

a friend of mine got out of a 12 month suspension with a slap on the wrist..

then again i copt a 12 month suspension but he didn't send me to court... so i gota ware that one =(

also depends what u were doing and if u can justify...

i wish u luck mate.. if it makes u feel any better a mate of mine has 5 court summons... and their all for driving whilst suspended and not attending summons.. so imagine the penalty!

Were you already on suspension when you got the car impounded?

Should be banned forever. But then, obviously a lack of a licence hasn't stopped him, so maybe he deserves some hard time instead.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
