Remember guys RB25 isnt the bad guy here. He is helping us all understand so go easy.
The part i like is the word "safe" when clearing defects in RB25's post above.
My version of safe is it can handle the race track and road use, has been maintained etc.
But as some HWP officers show there version is much different.
My worst experience with an HWP officer is when he came to the window for an RBT i said "how are u today buddy" as i do to nearly every one,
his reply was "im not ur buddy",
i said "how are u sir?",
Replied " im not ur sir either, that doesnt justify my name or my rank".
to me that is un australian and rude on his behalf.
He went on to try and defect for a twin turbo silvia, which was single turbo and he was pointing to the inlet manifold.
Gave a defect and said it MUST b cleared by the rta heavy vehicle inspection station. Rang the rta up and they said he has no right to do that and it would be wasting there time. Rta said any blue slip place can inspect it.
That sort of thing makes me lose a little respect for certain officers.
Thanks mr Davies
