Cheers for that

I got stopped on the A27 between Falmer and Lewes. Drove through there this morning and there was another car pulled over nearly the same spot, and more up by the Patcham roundabout. Guessing they're running a campaign targetting that area at the moment.....

Never mind, i've taken it on the chin - after all, i was in the wrong so nowt i can do about it!

Refreshing attitude steve, shame though for you as it's a bit of a lottery if you get caught. I was followed to laugh ton by a plain motorcycle but spotted it fairly early thank god as I was about to give it the beans!

What caused that shaped dent?
It looks like you aimed & succeeded in striking a local traffic warden

I'd have to agree with CJ and go hawk if your thinking of changing the wings as well. There seem to be less of them around than bugs/blobs - and we don't have a blue hawk in SES yet
