A slightly different view of a speed camera van.
A while back, whilst out in my Integrale enjoying let's call it a spirited potter along a sporting and twisty road I came round a particularly fun corner and realised that the white Transit type vehicle parked in the layby on the exit of the corner was indeed a camera van with its back doors and ominous black window pointing towards me. This was a bit of a surprise and did cause me a moment's apprehension followed by a degree of depression. This depression wasn't so much at being caught being a naughty boy more that when I came out of that corner I had the Integrale at that lovely point where most of the grip is in use, it's gently moving around just a little, it's in the power band, on full boost and I was still only doing about an indicated 55mph and don't think I could have got round that corner any quicker without it being on a track and with some nice run off areas. That road had a 60 limit. Just what did I have to do to get a speeding ticket from that van?
Of course the crew may well have been on doughnut eating duties at the time.
I suspect there may be some in this thread who consider this to be irresponsible behaviour...they're probably right! Damn good fun though.
