WTF? Whats that got to do with blubber? Don't underestimate the unknown.

Wow, I can't beleive that story. ACA has been making up, sensationalising and exagerating stories for years. Its what they do, usually it'll be a battler that people can relate to having a hard time from some heartless government department. I work for a govt department that has been the subject of one of these "reports" and can tell you the way the stories are shown, and what really happens while they are reasearching is different. I was asked to be interviewed (via phone). I told them no, no comment, they would need to ask the right people (media branch). Then they ambushed me out the front of my office while going home. Then they found where I lived and sent a different person (attractive lady) over to try again. So ACA is not innocent at all. HOWEVER... Stereotypes exist because your brain, like the rest of you, wants to be lazy. Its easier to label a person as soon as you see them (looser, nerd or a racist term) rather than getting to know them and making an evaluation on a case by case basis. It would be safe to beleive that if a police person has had a lot of bad experiances with a certain group, his/her attitude will extend to all members of the group. So, by going off, yelling or showing disrespect to the police you are making the label for the group you represent worse. (be it hoon, male, female, black white or whatever) It unfortunate, but "yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir" is the only way to deal with police, you may not feel that you should have to, and you may resent them for pulling you over and carrying on.... but they can. Its the law, and its just that simple. If you don't like it, don't drive anymore. I've been walking to work for the last few months and have not been pulled over once on my way. If you think its not fair, or you really are direspected take thier number, follow the right course like you'd want someone to do for you. Our system is not perfect, but who are we to decide when justice should be issued. If everyone did that, there would be chaos.. I'm not suggesting all the police do a great job, but there are some who do, I think the odd a#$hole policeman has ruined their reputation just like the behavious of a few d$%khead modded car owers ruin ours.

People will go whereever is easy, or they'll drive around getting the cheapest price, either way I don't think they'll be bypassing the two biggest companies. Besides, some of us need the higher octane and stuff, or ju7st find their car runs a bit better on the ol' ultimate I'd love to put pressure on the companies - but its a sad fact the prices are going to rise. That said, I've been paying over 1.15 for well over 6 months now.

Hey Mick, You'll be pleased to know "Squeely" himself will be there... I however will be out for a few weeks - at least until I can get past a whale

When I was younger I used to modify peoples cars when they were parked in the disabled zone, and the person getting out clearly wasn't... usually with a key. Of course I have a bit better of an understanding of how much this (keys) sucks now, and would never do it again... however having worked in disabilities for 2 years I got pretty pissed with it. But if I ever see a line in one of those spots, get ready for a flaming.

I think a neo would pull fine in a GTR while a 26 slowly gets put together.... Really, they are all just whale hearts. Hey Richard, answer your PMS damnit!

Good call on the toy car Actually, I just found the thread in the wastland to this topic, he he he. *sigh* another whale to spear Anyhow, back to karts :burnout:

Yeah, this is a seriously nice car, and if I could afford to I would buy it without thinking. If anyone has the money and is looking for a hot R32 GTR, this car takes the cake.

No wonder.... Whales are so big and take up so much track no one could get past!

Hey, what about Skylines in the snowys on the 27th and 28th, huh, its pretty up there you know!!

Frink is so used to making a whale handle karts are like a dream

As long as you take your squeeli's like a f%^#king man.....

Lol @ sin.... Can anyone fill me in on whats going on?? Did your car get pounded?

I'll come with Mick, lets do it!

Well, the queebo royal family is growing....

I spotted heaps of lines on Friday night

Come for a cruise to the mountains for the rural liners meet guys. Geez!

If you'd asked on friday you could have had one

Hey guys, it was great to catch up again... next time hopefully I can use all of the throtle Sorry about my buddy :burnout: there, I had a word with him. I'm pretty sure police can't just do that, I mean I can't just walk up to people on the street and say stuff like "take it like f$%^ing man" to them, however given that you didn't get a fine I'm not sure I'd be making waves. Feel free however to punch the offender next time you see him

I wouldn't gather stats like that....

Wow, thats pretty nasty. Good luck with getting it back on the road. IF you decide to wreck it, that motor would look sweet in the 32

Sweet guys. I'm trying to get onto the exec and see what the call is. Its going to be tight to have enough to clear the costs.....

Mate, I'll come around, pick it up and tow it with us all night, just so it doesn't miss out

Those new snap off steering wheel kits, any one know much about them??? It is, silly as it sounds a boss kit that you can snap off and take the wheel with you, thus making the car hard to steer for would be joyriders. I saw them in speed last month I think.

Yeah, cheers to camera!!! My car is running, so I'll see you there.
