I think he replied to the forum user "whatever".

Used the E01 several times over the past few weeks. Pretty easy to spot the speed traps as there is a cop car or bike always around the vicinity. On one occasion the cop car was parked on the other side of the road while the 2 cops had evidently crossed over. They seem to radio in the number of the vehicle to the exit points after checking the speed gun. When I reached Pinnaduwa a cop with a paper came and checked my number while the toll booth was processing the fee. Saw a cop car crawling at a snails pace around the 21st km marker. When I reached Pinnaduwa I told one of them traffic cops about this and he said "one of our patrol cars". Not sure why they were going so slow :S

Fuzzo, Were you there at the colombo event? I only could make it on sunday evening just in time to watch the DOTA/CS finals. But hung around until the presentation was over though.

I bought the shocks at 5.6k or so but this was months back. The day i was buying, they mentioned that the price was increased to 6k+

Hmm .. I more or less agree as i refitted all 4 shocks in my EK3 with KYB but still the ride seems stiff. Maybe next time I'll save up and go with the agents for originals.

Ah ok .. Looking forward to meeting you at this event.

I'll be there at the Colombo event for sure machang. Do u play DOTA or CS for any clan btw?

Your talking about the WCG local qualifiers? I think it will be a 5 member Counter Strike team which will be sent to China. But good fun for others also to get into the scene and play some competitive CS / DOTA.

I have a 96 EXI (Manual) which does about 9-10 in moderate driving conditions.

Tai Hoe is highly recommended as my parents stay there during their twice a year trips to Singapore. Now the rate for double i think is 90S$+ ...

i dont think we can expect much quality from the work done ... short term planning seems the default mode of governance same here bro ... we have full scale political discussions at office as well .... gets quite interesting at times

this is on until an election comes up ... then everybody becomes down to earth public servants and the common mans interests are shown to be the priority. It's pathetic that general population outside colombo falls for these lies. On the SAARC summit, its disgusting that the roads can be mended in a hurry to impress foreign leaders while the same repairs could have been planned and done to benefit the SL motorists.

I'm not sure if digi cam evidence is admissable in court in case push comes to shove. But if it helps the police officer to get a better understanding and act accordingly, its a bloody good idea.

"Therefore there should be some 70kmph speed distances on the way too. But if you concentrate on the 50kmph speed limits shown throughout, it is logically correct to assume the overall speed limit for the whole way from Colombo to Negombo is just 50kmph, as there are no 70kmph signs. " look out for the 50 sign with a line crossing it indicating that you are now no longer required to maintain 50 but can go upto 72. I have heard cops having speed traps just before this sign so that any argument the motorist brings can be promptly shot down by just pointing at the sign

Yes this happened to me as well ... the bill doubled and the amount of units are almost same on average ... we have called and asked clarification and the explanation was that there was a 30% surcharge according to the consumption bracket we are in etc etc ...
