I doubt anybody will see me at any meets as my car will be off the road from Jan 5th. Amount of time it will be off is dependant on the Judge. Let's just leave it at that :(

4 years! I'm looking at 12months according to the copper. Possible that I can take a "course" to have it reduced by three months. Am gonna plead the need car for work case and see if I can get it reduced even more but I doubt it. And they won't take kindly the outstanding speeding ticket (hence I'm unable to produce my driving licence).

Not sure if I'm gonna keep car for project or sell up and save for a decent sport (325). Have to see how things go.

im guessing that if your expecting a years ban hoshy,but reckon it can be reduced by 3 months if you attend a "course" then it sounds like either dangerous/careless driving or the dreaded drink driving.....correct me if im wrong...... winkeye

fuzzy has hit the nail on the head. it was the dreaded drink. I'm *so * ashamed!

Dan, I'm thinking you're car might make a good lab-rat for the MAF project if you're up for it? I'm gonna be leaving the car in Shrewsbury whilst I'm not driving it so I need somebody else's e30 to play with :D

Im on a dangerous driving ban
There aint a course you can do to reduce the ban length :evil:
And you can only appeal to the courts (about Ԛ£500 to get it that far) for a ban reduction if you got 3 years or more. I got 2 :roll:
If you do get it back into the courts it could also be made longer :eek:
I wish id have been pissed :roll: I think :roll:

Leaving it at home in Shrewsbury where my dad works. He'll keep drive her every now and again.

May book up some regular train tickets to do work on the car once every two weeks or so. would be nice to make her sweet :)
