Not worth the $$$$. They eye up big 4X4's too now instead of the rice rockets. Easier to aim up a big rig than a little 2 seater.

$161 fine this morning for 2km over the limit! Total crap!!

All they want is your license, no registration or insurance even asked for or looked at. The ticket just has your name and info and the infraction, no vehicle or anything else.

I told him this is BS, unless your vehicle has a certified speedometer, grace is a 10% allowance. He looked right at me and said, "Tell someone who cares"

I said no problem and took a picture of his cruiser with the broken passenger headlight. I'll have the ticket tossed as his cruiser should have been out of service. Been down this road before and it works.

Chris I saw the new truck yesterday buddy. Nice looking truck, saw if from the +15. I think that its gold in colour?

I was going to stop in to say hi yesterday. I had a job interview to go to, so I couldn't stop-in.

Ya those pretend patrol cops were out everywhere yesterday. Those guys are give tickets out to anything that moved.

We usually just stop at the ESSO/Timmies/ Humpty's stop on the highway just before the ramp to Crossfield.
Yup that's it Mike, hopefully i will get a chance to wash it before i go Sataurday.
I've got my TST box to install in it as well when i get the time.
