    Yeah I thought the 14 day rule was just time limit to notify the owner/hirer although at this point we don't know if they did that as my brother doesn't have the original letter, the only one he has had been forwarded by his ex sister 5 months after it happened so we're not even sure when they contacted hire company. As of yet there doesn't seem to be any photos im aware he could request them as there were multiple drivers but obviously that means making contact and if he can't prove he wasn't driving then they might just penalise him. Thought if there's a time limit he could go down that route as its not his fault it's taken five months to find him, and to there knowledge they still havnt, I imagine if they do take the next step it would be to issue court proceedings via recorded letter. Strange they have not tried to double check they have right address with dvla. That website did pop up on a Google search so might have a look in there or even post something.

    Yeah brother said he is pretty sure the other guys had to show the hire company there driver license so they must have a record of them somewhere.

    After some advice for my brother,he has just been contacted by ex girlfriends sister that there is a letter arrived with a speeding fine at there flat he used to share (hasn't lived there for nearly 2years) The speeding offence was dated to have happened in May this year and was in a hire car that he was given by the company he was working for, he's an actor and was touring England for about 4 months in a theatre play. Now he's not disputing the offence but he was with 4 other people and they all took turns in driving (agreed by hire company) now he can't be sure who was driving as they sometimes visited 5 different places each week and all took turns, and it was about 5 months ago. Problem is they have chased him as it was booked out in his name, he is currently not in contact with the other guys as the tour is finished. Now looks as though the reason it has taken so long to reach him is the police have had to go through the hire company to track him down but for some reason they have used his old address despite him giving them his new one it's also his new address on his drivers licence which they had a copy of so god only knows why they still had address he hasn't used for 2 years on there files. He is now stuck on how to play it as there only chasing him he doesn't want to take blame for something that might not be him. Also it hasn't actually reached his registered address only reason he knows is ex sister has told him and it's not his fault hire company gave wrong details his licence was up to date and the hire company have sent stuff to his new address. He could probably track down the other guys but you can pretty much guarantee what there all gonna say. Anyone know if there is a time limit on a speeding conviction, I know the original letter is ment to be 14 days but I believe that's different with hire cars or newly purchased/registered cars? Any advice would be appreciated

    I just bought the trophy truggy after wanting a truggy for a while and it was between the hyper st and the trophy, this came up at a good price so i went for it,but if I had to choose between them I think I would go with the hyper, nothing wrong with trophy but if the St is anything like it's buggy version which I have one of then it's a solid basher and has plenty of available spares and upgrades.

    Ok cheers guys il have a look on the form, if I can get a decent pic of the lipos showing any swelling il post up and see what people think as it might just be normal as there both the same. And don't worry Jordan bench10 it's not the lipo I sold you mate[emoji16]
  6. Veed79
    Just wondering if anyone's claimed a part refund through PayPal? I bought a trophy truggy and 3 lipos of ebay and there's a possibility 2 of the lipos are puffed (it's very slight) but as there hard case I thought could be worse in side the case? I've messaged seller but not heard anything and was wondering if I can part claim through PayPal and if so how do they value the lipos? They were loose inside the box so I'm guessing they had been rolling about in there during delivery and there was no bubble wrap or anything.

    Finally got it! Not had a chance to test though pretty gutted hopefully tomorrow! Then it will be strip down clean re oil diffs, is there good starting point for diff oil on these? I've got 10k 7k 3k in my hyper but not sure to do same in this or start with something different?

    My hpi trophy truggy I won on eBay! Although I've not seen it yet as on my way home from working nights, won't be sleeping today that's for sure!!
  9. Veed79
    Mine arrived this morning!! Been on nights so not home yet but when I do il get some pics up, seller also said the parts for hardened diff gears are in there as well so that's one mod out the way!
  10. Veed79
    Might have a couple of 3s I won't be using now mate as I sold the buggy they were used in, only problem is postage do you know any couriers that will accept them?
  11. Veed79
    Cool cheers guys, I don't bash the cars too hard but I'm not the best driver LOL!! so I will break stuff but I will be jumping it a lot so I will look into all them mods and see how I get on cheers.
  12. Veed79
    Right finally got round to finishing this, it got put back in the cupboard again and forgot about as work and kids just took up all my time but finally finished it last week... Servo fitted and connected just needs a test run now and hoping to do that at the weekend, although I've just won a trophy truggy on eBay so if that turns up by the weekend that might get first run!
  13. Veed79
    New owner here!! Just won trophy truggy on eBay been looking for ages and think I got a good one, il put the pics up when it arrives, its standard leccy model so no mods yet, is it worth doing any straight away or is it better to just do them as it breaks?
  14. Veed79
    Got the exact same model as bez mentioned also wired through optical cable and can't fault it so far, (especially for the price) I previously had samsung surround sound which was good but it was getting on a bit and took up lots of space with all the speakers, so wanted something smaller and this was on offer for 180 in currys about a month back. Also has Bluetooth which my old one didn't, although I imagine most decent surround sounds do now. Might just be sales talk but the guy in currys said for the price its probably the best one they stock unless your spending 350+
  15. Veed79
    I'm off to selsey for a week at the end of the month and if my buggys fixed me and the boy will be taking our cars with us, (as long as the mrs hasn't filled boot up with girls stuff) just wondered if there was any good sites local just off rd for bashing and jumping, bmx track would be ideal! Thought you Sussex guys would be best people to ask.
  16. Veed79
    Now sold can close the thread now cheers

    Last price drop before I put on eBay Sunday night,
  20. Veed79
    Gonna have a go at it this weekend so fingers crossed!! Thanks for all the tips guys really appreciated.
  21. Veed79
    You make it sound so easy! [emoji16] I've got some ready mix plaster so I can give it a go might not have the super smooth finish though!
  22. Veed79
    Yeah tried google didn't use that website though might give it a try mate cheers.
  23. Veed79
    Have you got the name of it mate? I was in homebase the other day looking for something and the guy have me all they had but from what it said on the tub it needs to be going on top of plaster to work? And the patch I've got isn't quite down to the plaster its the top layer that has been peeled off, like when you take Sellotape off cardboard it peels a layer off, so I'm left with a thin layer of what's like rough cardboard. Been told most things I put on there will have all the moisture absorbed so it won't stick or set properly. I've tried peeling the rest of the cardboard off to try get back to the plaster but its gonna take ages as it just comes off in tiny pieces. Gonna see if I can get some car filler off my dad and try that trick mentioned earlier. Someone I spoke to mentioned pva glue should seal it but not tried that?
  24. Veed79
    To the top again
  25. Veed79
    Cheers guys massive help might go down the car filla route as wanted it done today as back at work tomorrow, my dad might have some I could pinch.
