Yes, me!

Those plates do look familiar actually....I've seen this car before.

oh noes

I'll take that swap if it's not already taken

As long as your car would pull up they would be fine, in my opinion if you would drive it on the street you could drive it on the skidpan From memory once or twice I hit about 110 (maybe a bit more) last time out before I thought it would be a better idea to get on the brakes rather than try to clear the grass onto the v8 track That's a great thing about it with the instructors, you find out so much more about good braking points & turning lines

Spectators are welcome Yeah he is, simor32

Brad can you put down Simon (white 32 gtst) for a spot in the morning please, he just hasn't got internet at the moment so i will sort it out for him Cheers

Usually I get sick about once, maybe twice a year. This year I've lost count... Had my usual sickness near the start of winter, then was getting over it. My boss went on holiday to Mauritius, came back to work sick (thanx boss), and I picked it up off him. No-one else did, and I think that was cos my immune system was still a bit low. That made me sick for a few weeks, but thankfully got better just before my holiday to Broome. In Broome, we sunk bulk piss. Was f**king ace actually. But anyway, I didn't get sick like I did last time I did that & came home, but a few weeks after going back to work I was sick again. Since then I've just got over it (literally a day or 2 feeling 100%), then I've been knocked back down again. I'm at the end of another one now, sinus stuff annoys me sometimes & I cough every now & then but fine apart from that. I'm hoping now it's warming up that will be the end of it. But if not, then I'm gonna have to go to the docs & see if anything to do with work is affecting me, all flour n things like that....

one handed typing ftw

Have you called them & spoken to them before you put this thread up?

Drink more & you won't feel it?

Yeah like I mentioned to you I had to miss this one but I'd be keen if you do it again... Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, it's about buttsecks. They are serious though.

f**king lol at the state of inside the car she best have been good looking to manage what she's done there

Even if you did pull slightly left to turn right, he should have been far enough back to see that you were slowing down, which means having enough time to brake until your car was off the road. Even so you said this road is pretty wide, so why did you even have to go left before right?? You could have just gone onto the other side of the road to the driveway, but it looks like you were trying to get on the driveway more the other way around

Imagine if your dad was there too, that would have been like omg wtf.....

Haha nice pic! *instant wallpaper* I've only been down there a few times but lets just say that was one of the more interesting runs...pretty sure everyone was in shock at where that commodore had parked, but safe to say they didn't get greeted by it at *insert speed* around a blind corner o_O Some awesome pics from the day, next one with better weather will be awesome

Like they would send the car from Qld to WA without completing compliance As long as it's not too loud, you shouldn't have a problem with it on as long as it's secured.

There was plenty more than that, I counted almost 30 cars at the end & that was only about half of what we had at the start & at gateways. It was a very good turnout by both clubs

Run them over, and then gate them for like 7 minutes. The bastards.

Sorry to hear about the accident in the city Only when we got to Gateways I heard about it, and one guy mentioned a gunmetal gtr was one, a wine red 33 was another (some people thought it was me). Then I noticed Tom wasn't there & had a feeling it was him. That must have happened just behind me, I'd overtaken Tom in the tunnel & you wouldn't have been that far back. Again sorry to hear and hopefully they get fixed quickly. That aside....it was a long day & after a wet start the weather turned good so even though we lost a lot of cars throughout we still had about 30 at the end. A long cruise, with the exception of the above & the dumbarse who decided it would be a good idea to park their car just around a blind corner on zig zag rd instead of pulling off to the side 5m away, was pretty event free! Thanks to everyone who came out from both clubs

It will go on regardless....probably rain in parts but "shouldn't" be too heavy, doesn't look as bad in the sky as it did last week. Thanks, more from Jeff Newman tomorrow.

Actually...4 came before 3. But I'm still dirty about that yellow sticker!

1 - "Too fast" through a roundabout. At night in a residential area, went through it at 50 but wasn't over the limit. The cop was pretty cool & just warned me to slow down in case some idiot was coming the other way too quickly & then I wouldn't have time to stop, and it would be a hassle for damaging the car. This was about a week after I got my first set of mods, thought I'd get stickered but it was fine. 2 - "Randomly" through Northbridge on a Tuesday night. Was coming from SOR, and at the time where the Kwinana Fwy becomes the Mitchell Fwy there was roadworks, so to get onto the Mitchell you had to go through the tunnel & back the other way. Having never been that way I missed the exit so went through Northbridge. Get to some lights & in the lane to turn right there is about 3/4 cars & a cop car at the back. I was going straight to get to the line at the front, then the lights go green. Take off normally....then I notice the cop car has decided to not turn right & follows me for about 500m before he puts his lights on. Pulled off to the side & they come in behind me. Get out of the car & this short arrogant cop tells me I don't need to, while his partner who looked about 6"6 & 120kg did a couple of laps around my car. They let me go because a few cars had come up behind their car which was still a bit on the road. But chances are if I had of turned into a side street first I would have been stickers because I got nothing but attitude from this first cop, despite me not doing anything wrong or dis-respecting him. I would say this is a typical situation where they love to abuse their powers 3- Going down to the local shops to buy some fricking potatoes, about 5:30 in the afternoon. Cops doing speed checks on a road literally 100m from my house, seen them before I'd even turned onto the street & drove on towards them. Obviously not speeding but one of the cops heard some flutter & just as I was passing them he was trying to get my attention to pull over. I'd expecting them to hold up a sign or something so wasn't sure if they wanted me to or not, but I pulled up on someone's lawn & the cop walked down about 50m. Mentions he just heard my bov (which it wasnt), then asks to have a bit of a look around. Tells me he's giving me a work order for the sound on gear changes, my tyres (which were fine but he said the pits would tell me for sure) & the best of all, my front mount as he said he thinks the suspension springs were cut to fit the piping Had to drive back to where his bike was (he had a bike & there were 2 cars just off the street), and they all heard my locked diff but he didn't add that. Gave me 2 weeks to get an inspection...it was that which led to me having to go through the permits process & I had a yellow sticker for 5 months, got it off on my final attempt at about 4pm on a Friday afternoon. I'd always said if I did something wrong, got pulled over & ended up with a yellow sticker I would take it & deal with it, but to get one just for going to buy some potatoes....for f**ks sake..... 4 - Over in Queensland about 15mins after I'd picked up my car from TNT. Noticed a bit of backfiring going on, took off at some lights in a 60 zone & gave it some shit to about 100 too see if it would do it under full boost & backed off & cruised down. Noticed a black ford behind me & to the right at the lights, but didn't expect it to be an unmarked cop car. It was, and I was expecting to get nailed. Constable in uniform comes up & asks for my license & why I was just pulled over, gave it to him & can't remember what I said...but probably admitted for taking off a bit quick from the lights. Just then his partner, suit & tie spec detective comes up & goes on about how I must have been doing a lot more than the 70 I said I was doing as they got up to 100 to pull me over, that the road was 60 & talks about how much the fines are for 40k's over in Qld. Pulling out some magic, I mentioned I'd just moved from WA (true), and that a 4-lane road in a non-residential area on the city outskirts would be at least 70 or 80 there so that's why I mentioned I said I was doing about 70. Didn't admit any wrong, and considering I was living in staff accomodation in Qld I didn't really have an address for managed to get away with a quite stern warning. Was talking to them about getting Qld rego & things like that as he was talking about the fines & where I can find info on getting it, which might have distracted them a bit on what I just did But yeah just showed them respect, stayed calm, stuck to my story & was honest with them. That experience I feel evens out my previous 2 police encounters, got f**ked over when I did nothing at all wrong in either situation & got away with something I deserved punishment for (wouldn't have deserved as much as it would have been, that road should have been 80 minimum which would have put me about 20 over). That's it, and I've had my car for about 3 1/2 years.

Dude. What the f**k.
