LOL! Wanqs, sweet paint job,and the Porsche rims just make it look even more realistic 
LMAO Hobbs, the joys of owning a smartphone lol, glad you were able to sort it all out, hows 026 so far for you?
Eish, Wanqs, im disappointed at those 3 new Nokias, apparently all 3 lack autofocus despite rocking 8mp units,im not sure how true that is though,give it a few days til the dust settles and all the info is clear. That E7 has a huge 4inch like the X10,but with just 640x360 res, and has a tiny 1200mAh battery, and again an old ARM11 CPU only saved by the GPU being good, Nokia realy are slacking, they put awesome features like USB-OTG and HDMI that you wont use daily and then they go el cheapo on the ones that matter like the screen res, and battery, and to make it worse charge over 495euro before tax,pure madness.

im just hoping us here in South Africa with Vodacom dont get a 2-3 week delay with the rollout which is ysually the case.That would be very painful.
Wangs How did the back of that vechicle look? Or was it only the sides?

@ tsepz n' other Gautengers out there, check this out, taken from The Register today  :
'South African police hunt Twittering speedcam spy'
Posted in Mobile, 16th September 2010 11:35 GMT
Police in Johannesburg are investigating a man who's been using Twitter to warn motorists about speed traps and other police activity.
PigSpotter, as he calls himself, has now agreed to stop tweeting the location of road blocks but vowed to continue posting speed trap information. He also posts traffic congestion reports, and info about out of action traffic lights and accidents.
Police spokesman Wayne Minnaar told News24 that PigSpotter, or Cliff, was definitely acting illegally. He said: "He will be arrested even if he stops tweeting now. He can be charged with obstructing or defeating justice."
Cliff's Twitter account now has 10,500 followers
PigSpotter told a talk radio station that his name was meant as a joke and that speed traps were supposed to be visible, so they could not be considered secret. He agreed to stop tweeting after six o'clock and stop revealing the location of road blocks.
He said his main beef with the police was hidden speed traps and corrupt police demanding bribes. The station offered him a weekly spot to discuss police corruption.
The police claim they can nick him for obstruction of justice and that they're on his trail.
The relevant page - but be warned, it includes a picture of a lady in her undercrackers - is here:

Been following Gareth Cliff on Twitter,he's a 5FM radio DJ but you already knew that lol PigSpotter is one of his followers.After reading that article I think the pigs have some valid points but hey it works both ways in this country with corruption so rife.Lets hope PigSpotter isnt caught by the pigs and put in a pen.lol
Tsepz
He posted more screenshots.So far its looking good.Love the new background.

While I agre and share his anger and frustrations on corrupt police officers I do not condone his actions, in fact, I find them dangerous and wrong!
There are a lot of reckless drivers that he is helping here. Speeding and reckless driving are killing innocent people on our roads and we don't need this sort of behaviour from citizens and it should not be encouraged.

Dups They had a segment on 3Talk with Jolene about Pigspotter.They spoke to Cliff aka Pispotter and he sounds genuinely sorry and remorseful for his wrongdoings.They also spoke to the Traffic Chief and that guy wont budge and wants this to go to trial.The pig,bacon ect reference were not taken lightly on top of all the other things you mentioned.Lets hope they come to a diplomatic solution because the guy doesnt sound like he needs to go through the criminal justice system.It started off as fun thing and he just got carried away the more popular he got.Its understandable.The web is a crazy place for an unsettled ego.The man now has like 13000 followers and I suppose that number is going to just increase with him now getting all this attention.He sounds generally scared so who knows how much longer he will be around.

If he is sorry and repentant then I think a light sentence like a fine would do.
Good ponits on the web and ego.
