haha not quite. One was my pulled over 3 times from stafford to eagle farm adventure - so that in itself is an epic encounter. The other was because I turned off when you went straight ahead, and according to Mr Plod I didn't indicate. That was would have been normal if they didn't hunt me down and try to trap me in a housing estate. I swear he thought I was trying to do a Gone In Sixty Seconds. I'm pretty sure they're the only two times I've been pulled over since your high beam thing. Apart from RBTs, but they don't count.

I know! It took a long time for my sphincter to get back to it's regular tension

All of mine are like that. It's frigging ridiculous. I don't get pulled over often... but when I do it's always something epic like that.

also <3 much of the boxness I'd love to JUST ONCE have a normal police encounter!

I had an unmarked car following me... for AGES. I didn't know if he was waiting for me to stuff up or what, so I just made sure to be extra careful, no zingenator carry on and all that sort of business. Anyway, I hit Grandard Rd, and at the same time I'm going through the speed van spot, so does a BMW who is absolutely fanging it. Must have been doing at least 90 in a 60 zone... and I'm thinking "oh come on! quit following me and go get him"... but then I thought, maybe because the speed camera flashed there's nothing more he can do about it now. Well, out of the side street comes ANOTHER cop car, and pulls ME over. The D car pulls up too, I'm assuming to join in on the defect fun. The uniform cop comes up to my window and asks for my licence and is it my car and all that, and I handed it over, yes sir, no sir, etc. THEN the uni tells me "we just clocked you doing 87 through a 60 zone. "BULLSHIT! That was the Beemer!" "Yeah, yeah, like we never hear that it was someone else from you import hoons" "Huh?! Are you blind? I mean shit, that BMW was flying, but it wasn't going faster than the speed of light! AND IT WAS BLACK!! MY CAR IS NOT BLACK! How can you not tell the difference between a black car and a red car and see which is going faster?!" The plain clothes boy gets out of his car at this stage obviously wondering what all the screaming and fuck yous are about. And asks the Uni what's going on. "We just clocked this guy doing 87 in a 60 zone, and he's trying to blame it on someone else" "Oh? Really? Who's he trying to blame it on? The guy in the BMW that I was about to pull up who was doing 87? Or someone else? "What?" "The BMW was the one speeding, this guy was doing the speed limit. I've been following him since Mt Ommaney and he hasn't set a foot wrong." "..but... the radar... and..." "The van over there even flashed when the BMW went past and overtook the two of us... how did you miss it?" At this point the plain clothes takes my licence from the other bloke, hands it to me, and says "Off ya go mate. I'll sort this one out." I'm just like and GTF outta there! I wonder if uni boy is gonna wind up back in basic training?

And who wants to hear today's police story?

because they're having a cry about something that can obviously be done The wheels fit in the guards just fine. The problem was scrubbing before the guards were rolled. So I bought tyres that would fit, and not scrub every time I looked at the car. Now I have the 225s until I wear them out, and then will be replacing with something slightly larger now that the guards are rolled. Remember I had to get tyres STRAIGHT away according to My. Policeyman who pulled me over and let me off. So I didn't have time to wait for the guards to get rolled. big <3 They DO fit... as long as people actually TRY it instead of just crying about it

anyway - off to Archerfield. Back later mangs!

Direct quotes: Jax "225 on a nine and a half? you're joking? we can't do that!" Bob Jane "That tyre size is completely wrong. It's illegal. I won't do it. I don't even want it near my workshop!" Goodyear "...our machine is too old for that" K-mart Tyre/Auto "how did they even get that on there in the first place?"

mmm I called Roy at Bossman, he said he can do it. Was hoping not to have to drive that far on a dodgy tyre... but everyone else is scared of touching it

none of the "name" places will put the tyre back on the rim

Anyone know any good tyre puncture repair places that don't charge as much as a new tyre would cost?

Scott, JB is the only reason Martin and I get out of bed in the morning

hahahahahahh with the exception of being an hero, I want his job!

DR30? Is that the one that look like a Mustang?

keen

Ravbat, what's crackin'?

I've only ever seen ONE gunmetal 32GTR, and it's the GABNR. The only other gunmetal 32s I see are GTSTs

It's Gir! He's singing the Doom Song!!!

of course not!

well look who crawled out of his cave

Great news

I really do think that's the only reason people keep coming back to our meet. They say otherwise... but I know the truth
