YOU ARE CHAMPION MAN BRO!!!!!Originally posted by KamenRider:finally the conditions were right for me to do what i wanted to do long ago:
condition 1: entering JB thru second causeway
condition 2: ultra-safety-conscious nagging wife not around
condition 3: kids not around
condition 4: its day time, weather's good, visibility's good
condition 5: plenty of time to waste
after the causeway, and passing 2 overhead bridges (these are the places where their TP hide and laser speeding cars).
i turned off aircon, off radio, instrument check, brake check, steering check, windows closed, TP check....
coast's clear and i stepped on the accelerator....
at 120km/h: the rear left windows noise started, as expected
140km/h: engine noise started to get obvious, growling
160km/h: more engine growling but harder, heart also pumping faster
beyond 160km/h: engine struggling to try to go beyond, screaming, accelerator still not completely floored though. car beginning to feel not too steady, must be my tinee weeny thin wheels, or maybe i overly worried.
165km/h: road bend in front, had to stop.
ok next time will try harder.
wonder what will happen if the needle hit 180km/h? anything will drop off?

Hey tweety! so nice to hear from u again...finally! thot u M.I.A.-ed. glad to hear that u r enjoying ur new found toy just ilike i still do with mine! add a litle thing at a time to my toy was really fun...it's like dressing barbie...haha. or was it ken?Originally posted by tweety74:Hellooooo NYC_Micra and Everyone,
Sorry that I have not been writing to all during the past few weeks as I was too obssessed with my new found love, my bean green Tweety.... It was handed over to me two Fridays ago and I have been busy admiring it and playing with it. I think I should hit my 1st 1k this week so getting excited to send my car for servicing soon.... However, I think I will be receiving a letter from LTA this week as I beat the red light two days after collecting my car. Not my fault actually..... I was waiting at the junction to make a right turn but the traffic was heavy with a lot of incoming vehicles blocking my path. When it was my turn to make a right turn, I could not turn at all as my path was obstructed by the oncoming vehicles (they should not be in the junction box at all). When I was eventually able to make a right turn, I saw that the right turn traffic signal has been changed to yellow and subsequently red. When I travelled pass the traffic light, I saw the traffic camera flashing away and thats when I know that my fate has been sealed with a 12 points deduction and S$200 fine..... Will probably lodge a complaint to LTA as I was really caught in no man's land at that point of time. If I dun proceed to turn right and continue my journey (though the traffic signal has changed to yellow) after the incoming traffic has been cleared, I would have been obstructing the flow of traffic eventually by staying in the junction box. However, I understand that those bigwigs in LTA will be unlikely to give in to our appeals...Now I just have to wait for the letter to come before I made a trip to LTA and seek a redress.... Good luck to me..
Anyway, the next time if you people spot a Bean Green Marchie with some Tweety toys in it, thats my car for sure......
Have sent NYC_Micra an email with my email contact. I hope I can make it for the gathering on 12 March...Still waiting for my boss to return from his overseas trip to confirm my business trip. I hope it doesn't clash with the date of the gathering....
Cheers,
Tweety
I kindda agree to wat Tedz said... Just keep your fingers crossed and the authorities don't send you any summon...Originally posted by tweety74:Hellooooo NYC_Micra and Everyone,

Hi Tedz,Originally posted by tedz:Hey tweety! so nice to hear from u again...finally! thot u M.I.A.-ed. glad to hear that u r enjoying ur new found toy just ilike i still do with mine! add a litle thing at a time to my toy was really fun...it's like dressing barbie...haha. or was it ken?haha...
so sorry to hear about ur encounter...
let me see....u were already in the yellow box trying to make that right turn rite? was there any other car that zoomed pass u before or after u'd made the turn when the traffic turns red? chances are the flash was not on ur beanie tweety! from what i understand....once u r out of the 2 white stoplines, when the traffic turns red, the camera will not be activated. it will when the traffic turns red n the car still zoom passed the white lines, then the flash will be on to capture the car.
meet up with us soon...we'll analyse for u...but i seriously don't think u were being photographed!
really hope to see ya n ur cute beanie soon man! kingmariot needs company of BIG guys with small cute cars! rite king?!
hmmm...paul, think u'd better start typing ur explanation letter now. what i'm going to say might sound like a wet blanket.....Originally posted by tweety74:Hi Tedz,
My Beanie was still positioned inside the 2 whitelines when the traffic light was about to turn red and I was unable to turn because my car was blocked by the incoming traffic. Those cars should not be in the junction in the first place because they are preventing the other cars such as mine from making a legal right turn. There were no other car behind me when I made the right turn. I spotted the flash from the traffic camera when I made the turn and I realised that its my car that was being photographed.... I hope I can convince those LTA chaps cos its really not my fault....
Have been driving at 50-60km/h since I got my car....Thats real slow but I have seen dozen of cars beating the red light but yet they have not 'disturbed' by LTA. I think its down to my luck...Can't imagine it happens to me just two days after getting my car. Have to be extremely careful now. Can't be bothered even if the other big cars sound their horns at me.....Better be safe than to be sorry....
Thanks for your tips though... Oh! Yes! Would love to see how big King Mariot really is.....
Cheers,
Paul
