Forgive me if this was raised, but effectively arn't they saying "When you don't know better, you get no chances but once you know the rules and the consequences you can have a few chances" It makes no sense. P-Platers are learning. Opens still are but have more experience... So they get more chances than the learners do??? That makes no f**king sense at all.

You wouldn't even have compulsary 3rd party would you? (I don't know insurance.) That means if you hit me and injure me you'll be broke for life??? Not a smart idea.

Houses still arn't that expensive - in the rural areas :>

phatboi2010: I just paid. Sort of, it was for $800 and I paid $300 of it and never heard from them. Even if I paid $800 I'd rather pay that than a day in court.

I knew that, hence why I said the 100% illegal part... I wouldn't mix it with my fuel. And I don't use sugarcane, too much effort. I just buy sugar at like $1.50/kg.

It's something to do

If 7 letters become standard I am going to buy alot of plates as soon as they come out :> PPs are awesome investments if you get a good combination.

When I ran up the arse of someone (slammed brakes on at a green light, I was too close, I take the blame) I phoned a lawyer to see if I had any chance of winning. He told me the courts no longer automatically assume that you are in the wrong and if someone slams brakes on for no reason they'll usually be liable for the damage. Just interesting info, as my mates do the brakes trick as well. Personally, I just slow down even more as I don't have alot of money to blow around so I'd rather not risk it.

Apart from it being 100% illegal if I am ever at a SAU meet I can bring in a case of it (12 wine bottles/80%).

Ethanol won't make you blind. Sucks if it does as I've been making the stuff for 2 years now and drinking it regulary. Damn. 100% ethanol (96.4% - can't get 100% unless you use special expensive technology) won't make you blind. Just really drunk and make your throat really sore.

There are 7 wildcards which mean you get to make them whatever you want. Only 17 of the 7 letter/number plates are going up for auction - 7 are wildcards and will go for ALOT.

You could sue for the $10 of petrol I guess. You can only sue for damages if damage was caused. Even then, you can only be put back in the position you were BEFORE he did it. Not worth it.

The irony here is funny. Everyone hates being branded as hoons - yet we all brand 4wd owners as shitty. And to the guy who said why 4x4s in the city... Why performance cars? They want to drive them. It is that simple.

Only ones I'd want are the wildcards. They'll go for heaps though.

Wanna know whats really cool? A few weeks ago I had a bit of a burst of anger on here and everyone said the cops won't patrol here more often. Since Saturday night when some tossers (see sunshine coast daily, p7) were doing burnouts everyone in the area received letters informing us frequent patrols will be conducted and to immediatly phone the station if we notice cars acting irresponsibly and to take down plates. Guess community pressure works. I have been a dickhead, but I go to big open fields to do it. There are alot around me, industrial areas in Kunda Park are awesome for it. Granted it is government property but no one is in there as it is a construction site. Up in Gympie there are HUGE paddocks used for the Gympie Muster which remain open 24/7 which you can go to and lastly I just do it on our property. I know most people don't have these resources close by and I am not going to comdemn a man to jail or something for doing the odd burnout or loosing it once or twice in the wet! Be loud, drive safely and that doesn't mean follow the speed limits - just drive safely I noticed something I've never noticed before on my road and thats a horse riding sign, it's taken me 2 months to notice it so what are the chances of a random guy going through noticing it???? Only reason I knew of horses is because I live here. It is the purely irresponsible drivers who do it all the time and in areas that are just too dangerous - I am sure you can understand that! (The area they were doing it in on saturday was the place that 4wd went off the side of a 50m embankment and luckily survived. Was all over the news.)

Lol, that one only works if you are religous Either way, I don't really care. But when it happens to me I get pissed off, probably because I have a short temper haha. The guy who started the thread was obviously pissed off and just wanted to vent somewhere. Better here than on Today Tonight.

I know what you mean, people think I am a dickhead for driving with loud music and I am sure I have speed (Guess now is the time to admit I am rarely not speeding on a highway. I usually sit on 120 - how naughty of me.) But this wasn't subjective - he was being a dickhead. Swerving over the road, tailgating, failure to indicate... Ohhh, and if you believe we shouldn't punish those for doing things we once did then we'd live in a pretty shitty society. Who was it that said insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? I think it was Einstein, but this applies here - people do it over and over, they break the law and endager peoples lives. Insanity is doing nothing about it. If you are not endangering peoples lives (ie, deserted roads) then I really don't give a toss. Ohh, and someoone said more crashes happen at low speeds the other day when I was reading NSW fatality stats the large majority of fatalities happen at 60kph and more happen at 40kph than 110kph. I found that interesting. The government needs to get over focusing on 'speeding' and defects for performance cars (how about defect those shit boxes falling apart) and tackle the real problem of driver education.

I care if someone is driving dangerously around me - it isn't just their life at stake! Drive however you want - when you kill the family 'driving how you want' I'll be laughing when you are being sentanced to gaol :> Ben aka LightAssassin, these guys fail to realise that. Probably don't know anyone killed in car accidents before. I mean, according to Vance we should be allowed to drive however we please! If we want to cause accidents and kill people so be it! It's all in the name of spirited driving! Yeeehaa! Anyway, I can see the good intentions in this post. If the guy was a member of the forum he'd be shamed. Everyone would know he is a tosser. He might drive safer. Then it is worth it.

In all honesty it doesn't matter what we want to call it. It is a S2 and will remain an S2 because thats what Nissan called it (assuming they did. I actually have no idea what we are discussing ). For example; a company releases a car called a dickadid, then they put a new kit on it, changed one or two other minor details and released a dickadid s2. It might be stupid and idiodic because little changed but its still a dickadid s2.

Grrr, I hate it when dickheads do this. It's plain disrespectful. The courts need to grow some balls and start punishing people. When we used to manage a complex in maroochydore someone did that to someones car. Dickhead forget there were cameras. I went through, showed the guy and told him what unit he was in and which cars were his. Last I saw was his mates rocking up saying thanks. Guys checked out by sliding their keys under the door at night so we have no idea what happened the fella just said they won't do it again.

What'd you end up getting?

Anyway you can rewire it so the head unit isn't used? Might be cheaper and easier?

Stinger battery terminals are my choice. Expensive, but look good and do the job damn well.

When our lawyer is over next I'll ask him and get back to you guys, for now though I'll just post on aussielegal asking.

Bet you it'll stop tomorrow.
