huh? Mitchy's car was running?
Let me guess...the smoke was from the heat off his feet losing traction on the track trying to launch it...a-la flinstone style haha
"Where are we?"
"corner of bum f*%k and you got a pretty mouth!"
or
"I think we'll be ok...I used to be a boy scout, Tom you were a boy scout weren't you?"
"No...but I ate a brownie once"
both from same movie
nah...think older...from 1980...
another clue -
"You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."
"A hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients but that's not important right now."
"There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"
This is the reason I didn't go...although I thought the problems would be as people left the event.
The problem I see with what the police have done here is (although they might have been within their legal right to do it) to deter enthusiests going to organized events. Imagine if they decided to put this sort of presence at an organized drag night at a drag facility. People would not end up going to those and instead move more to the illegal street drags which the event is put on to prevent. I thought the idea of these organized events are to give enthusiests a legal outlet for something they are passionate about.
beware parked wagons on the side of the road!!!! hehe
Walked past a multinova this afternoon (ok its victoria, but I dont think it will be long before they hit Perth...if not already)
this multinova was a little different that usual, as it had a falcon wagon attached to it
it went a little something like this...
the wagon is parked on the side of the road and appears totally innocent from behind. The camera operator is sitting in the passenger seat with a camera mounted on the dash in front of him. The radar is situated on the top of the front bumper between the nudge bar uprights. Then there is a set of spotties attached to the nudge bar, with the passenger side spottie angled to the road as it is actually the flash for the camera.
Sneaky little devils lol
It depends whether you have a soft cap or a hard cap. A soft cap will allow you to go over the cap limit and you then pay for each call as per the call rate charges of the cap plan. A hard cap will allow a certain amount over the cap limit and then calling out will be barred. If you are going for a cap plan, make sure it is a soft cap (most of them are)
I am on a $59 optus cap which gives me $350 of credit...and a dopod 838 (which is same as the i-mate jasjam)
Yeah Sammie...be careful!!! I know what it is like getting it back with a big jumpo in power...take extra care on corners...dont want that boost coming on strong mid corner. You will end up facing the wrong way very fast
Have fun...but take care

Have been to the Perth big boys toys before, but they covered everything really. Cars, bikes, boats, gadgets, and even things like spas This sounds good...might have to have a look at it
I don't need to get over it...I dont have a problem with it. I have altered my car because I wanted to, and accept any issues I get because of it. I was trying to get across the same point that you are To accept the possibility of being stopped by police because of the cars we drive and having it looked over...and possibly defected.
A bit off topic, but if you get pulled over in Vic, can you get out of the car? or do the police see that as a threat? In WA I normally get out of the car and meet them at the back of the car and start talking. If I ever get pulled over here I dont want to get out of the car and the cops thinking I am going to do something and they pull a gun on me or something
whether you agree with what the defect was given for or not, or the attention import drivers receive is justified or not, the fact that it does exist at the moment and we all have to live with our choice of car. There are a lot of idiots out there in all kinds of cars, imports and locals...imports are easier to spot in a crowd so they are targeted more...right or wrong its happening.
I am lucky at the moment (touch wood) as with WA plates on it I have not been looked by the police...they just keep driving. The thing that annoys me the most is with cars that you see driving around bellowing smoke. We take good care of our cars and they run a lot cleaner than a lot of cars that seem to go by unchecked.
