    who does not speed

    would't worry too much about it. The risk of getting caught is the same. I speed, everyone does. 20 years driving and caught twice. What I don't do though is constant high speeds on motorways (anymore- that was nearly a ban :lol: , ignore static speed cameras or thrash about in town...

    How long do you guys have your heating on for?

    I use a timer which is why my house is warm when I get home without the heating being on all day. You have summed up the situation very concisely and correctly in your last two sentences - well done!

    Car disguising
