Well you could have knocked me down with a feather when I realised I had been running this bit of the site for a year today!

So what has the last 12 months seen?

420 items - so over one item of news per day, which isn't shabby - there are sites out there with teams of people working for them that don't manage that rate of news reporting.

So... what got you guys most interested over the last year?

ACC's NEW WEBSITE

So it looks like we're interested in speeding, parking, theft, Britney Spears and Valentino Rossi... so pretty much like everyone else really...

Anyway, thanks to all of you who dip their toes in here - and especially to those of you who have taken the time to find an article, abide by "House Rules" and not just copy it but write it up.

And now looking forward to the next year!

Hmmm, the statistics also seem to show that we have this pre-occupation with motorcycles.

Wonder if it's healthy?
