:wink:
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

I read somewhere that the newer specs cameras can do multi-lane & are fully automated. Older ones are a little dumb. How you tell the diff... I dont know :S

And in the roadworks on the A1(M) near Stevenage they have erected huge sets of floodlamps before the cameras...so those that don't know will not see the cameras because they are blinded by the light (wasn't that a Manfred Mann's Earthband song?).

So nothing to do with safety at all - just designed to cash in..and if the cameras cost ½ million a pair they've got to go some to recover the money.
