M3/M27 warning - Smile! You could be on TV!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a tip off about some filming that Hants Police are doing for a television programme series from tomorrow (26th September) for seven weeks.
If you use the M27 or the M3 this potentially affects you so please proceed with caution and pass onto anyone who you feel might just need to know. The program a BBC South commission called "Traffic Cops" will be filmed covering the area from Ringwood concentrating on Ringwood M27 up to M3 J9 and a team working the ringroad around Southampton (Totton will have a unit working it alone), Cosham M27 stretch to J5 of the M27 Southampton
Airport turn-off). The fourth concentration is working from Winchester Services covering M3 to J10 M3 (Winchester South) using five unmarked cars, two Black Skoda 03 registration Octavias, an 05 plate dark red Mondeo and two Volvo saloon cars.
The BBC unit are going to be based out of a unit in Millbrook Road in Southampton and will also be covering the armed police response unit and the Southampton Airport Police Security / British Transport Police team.
The BBC team are in Citreon Picasso MPVs leased from Arriva.
To make it even more effective the Traffic police have authority from Chief Constable to "work to rule" So instead of the laid back approach to the usual Hants traffic police this will be a lot more concentrated to make it effective filming.
You have been warned!

Picking up the Olds V8 and various other bits from the editor of Custom Car down near Southampton. Was going to ask Manky if he wanted to come, but doubt he'd want to.

SORRY! Switching between several forums, got distracted by the phone and posted wrong message on wrong thread.

I'm not sure that I want to share that information with a stranger.
I can only appologies, and offer cake, in the hope that no offence was taken.

Let's just say that they won't make rude comments about my red leather thong again in a hurry.

Red leather thong? Be careful - you'll have Yoda and Manky raiding your wardrobe! |

I am sure Yoda can oblige. Might be worth suggesting that Manky adds a monogrammed leather thong to the newly-burgeoning range of MMM merchandise... |
