When I got an XR2, I was targeted something rotten.  11 points in like no time at all.  I was driving like Miss Daisy for the next three years, but that didn't stop them pulling me over.  I got rid of the car and got the Peugeot GTi.  Never pulled over once in 11 years, even though it was a faster car.  Which happened to look exactly like a tame Pug 306, not a boy racer.

You were speeding simple. Take the punishment no need to make a fuss about it is there.

That bug is clever as Hell!!

How do I get one?  I wrote a book called Bedbugs!

11 points! I thought I was a typical naughty teenager in the early nineties!
My driving nowadays is so much more civilised!
Similar car history with me. Got a XR2i but dress up like a RS Turbo. My insurance gone crazy after culminating a few points and having my very first prang! So change to a 106 Rallye MK1 which got free insurance at that time---what a bargain £8700 for a brand new car with 12 months free insurance. In terms of driving pleasure (Not ownership), that little peugeot is still one of the most wicked car I ever own!

I got a speeding ticket in my red mk1 Golf Driver back in the 80s. I then sold it and bought the GTI  :grin:

I wasn't even a teenager!  The XR2 was by way of a 40th birthday present (long story).

If 41mph is "dangerously fast" then I'm going to be in all sorts of trouble.

Unlucky fella, as I know all too well, these things happen.
