  Sorry if this has been covered (thread is intended reading for later on this evening!) but has anyone used Birch Polypore for medicinal purposes? If so what have you done with it? Dried it etc

  I like a MK3. Not really the GTi but can be made into a pretty sweet car. Post a few pics if you do go to see it

  Ok cheers. The rays look fab though! And I can get spokes at cost price so the extra cost isn't much. I'll check out the dt aero comp too cheers

  Slowly getting round to being able to afford all the bits to build up my wheels. I've got campag record (older silver) 28h hubs and kinlin xr31t rims. I'd like to run Sapim CX ray spokes front and rear. From a purely stiffness and practicality point of view will this setup work well or should I go with CX ray front and something else rear?

  None of that sounds very pleasant. Had a chat with a few different officers today, going to chat to the chap in question on the phone tomorrow. I'll definitely ask him why he booked me when he crossed the solid himself. Also managed to track down the driver of a vehicle waiting to pull onto main road from side road, see what they remember about where exactly I was. Only thing I don't understand is why he wanted 3-4 minutes to pull me over.

  That point was glaringly obvious to me at the time.... As well as the fact he pulled me over and none of the other cars in the queue. Not that raising the point would have helped me much! This is the spot in question, hardly windy!

  Two. They had a good nosy around to see what else they could find... Didn't find anything which is nice! It's not the white line I want to query, it's the conditions under which I was alleged to have crossed it.

  No he didn't. I was going to the beach with the family so didn't want to push too much. Thinking back I should have asked to see it. Definitely installing my own dashcam now. Went into the local station today, turns out he isn't from round here and staff at local station said it was excessive. Advised I write to the courts
