Well if I was making plans for a meet and then a bit of speeding I certainly wouldn't be giving out details of the time and place on a public forum. You never know who is watching lol

yehh 630 sounds good!

Metblackrat - no

Tiger - who said anything about speeding, we are merely meeting so that i am able to show venom the difference in drivability that a remapped car has and i can also legally show him the difference in acceleration when joining a motorway and or dual carraige way up to the speed limit - which is very noticable..

Just because you have no friends you can join us if you like lol.

If I'm honest about posting things like that it’s all ball**** if you ask me. Current hard times I very much doubt they can afford to have someone watching the many millions of forums for such 'speeding' meets... let alone take the chance it’s going to take place and set up a bobby to keep an eye out and try and police this kind of thing.

I was speeding tonight doing 100 in a 70 - oops did I just say that please lock me up and throw away the key. (By the way this didn’t happen before I get the shouting from the rafters at me) but if it did and posted it on here it’s impossible to prove it ever took place. Same goes for Sunday, who’s to say, were not just here out to waist PC plods time by going around setting phantom meets to go speeding up and down roads?

----------------------

Ok so 630 at sainsburys yeah? By the way this is in Birmingham for any police watching this

I think you pair are spot on, As one of you has their car remapped and the other is looking into getting theirs mapped so why not share a little bit of experience of what the map does. What better way than to sit in the passenger seat...

No-one said they were speeding and you don't need to speed to show the map, you will just notice the complete difference from the standard car compared to sitting in the mapped car.

Hope you both get something out of tomorrow. I would love to come along and meet you pair but unfortunately I'm at the Bike Show.

Out of interest Venom where did you get your exhaust from?

Secondly, where is the new showroom picture of your new alloys. :-)
