I did wonder about that, which led me to book the 225 instead. Same reason why I try to avoid Thameslink trains where possible. Or just end up standing instead. Also, do people actually realise they're in a quiet coach? Bloke behind (a Steven Smith from Grantham) is having a right old job taking out car insurance on the phone. I wonder if he's on a collection mission too? Either way just STFU plz. Shite Ron, egg, RoadworkUK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robt100 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Saw the thread title, then saw the usename.

It's also now too inside the ULEZ, but I can dodge the cameras around here for local trips and just pony up the rest of the time. I'd forgotten how bloody marvellous these things are, so it's worth every penny I end up coughing up to TfL.

RobT Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 180 miles completed. The only issue being some trim that wanted its freedom. That'll be why the traffic rozzer lingered next to me on the M25.

lisbon_road Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hi Rob thanks for sharing your trip. Takes a die hard autoshitter to buy a non ulez compliant car while living in the zone, hats off to you.

Thanks, it's a great car. Very much as described by @2316cc Can't say I've paid much attention to the camera situation, but I did see one that'd been cut down and dumped by the road side recently. Just 300 yards up the road from me. It's still possible to spot older non-compliant cars in London, but they certainly have got thinner on the ground. I've also noticed a few more historics when travelling around my manor, which is either just coincidence or some heroes have decided to do exemption properly and go 40+. lisbon_road 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
