  4. I have to write this thing on "whether speed cameras are effective?" what do you think? Are they completely unnecessary? Are they completely revenue-raising or do you think there is some need for them on a partial level? Just some things to think about Apparently "when travelling between 60 and 80 km/h, the vehicle occupants' risk of a fatality or serious injury crash doubled for each 5 km/h increase in travelling speed." According to a study from University of Queensland: "speed cameras cut the average speed by 1-15 percent and the percentage of vehicles that exceeded local speed limits between 14 percent and 65 percent" On the flip side it's said that as speeding tickets take so long to come in the mail, there's nothing to indicate to the driver that s/he should modify his driving habits and in this space between him/her getting booked they could continue to drive at excessive speeds and may injure people. As Victoria is the only state that doesn't have signs notifying people they are approaching a fixed speeding camera, to what extent do you think they are (or are not) revenue raisers. So please share your opinion or any stories you might have. I read on somewhere on SAU a while ago that someone saw a cop with a speed trap planting himself outside of a Queensland town when they were evacuating from the floods.
  5. anyone know what the deal is with that empty office building on kings way/kings street. near where the mercedes dealer used to be. looks like it used to be an importer or something. The building looks empty but on the bottom floor you can see some cars still parked by the window. They're all japanese cars but not sure exactly whats in there. The car closest to the window is an FTO with a 90's kind of veilside-ish bodykit.
  6. i was told it was 2 guys trying to catch up with the group of a cruise after a meet. One was an R35 (assumedly one with the 55km odo) and the other car was an R34 V spec II. were caught 45km over the 70k limit. was told by a guy that was at the meet but not at the cruise when this happened so this is just hearsay again but.
  7. thats what i thought. the only time i'd personally go for it is if its parts that cant actually be removed and replaced by real carbon. ie, the Rocky Auto S30 where all parts have been removed and replaced with carbon parts except the rear-quarters and roof which is wrapped only to match the other carbon parts.

    as far as i know, down here they can approach you if for instance you've got a freely accessible driveway or you are standing on your front lawn. if they have to actively enter your resident (like opening a gate or something) then they cant approach you. i read that on here somewhere a while ago so im not sure if its right or not.
  24. <br><br>on the contrary me thinks. i think most of the time older cars are a lot easier to steal so a small number of d!ckheads steal them and just bum around in them for a week as a means of transport then dump them somewhere. one of my friends dad's had his commodore (was a VT so thats 10-13 years old) broken into just to have the contents of his glove box emptied on the driveway (what does that achieve?). a lot of people might think "my cars old/cheap, it's not worth stealing" but on the flip side, its probably an easier target.<br><br>anyway, sorry to hear man and i hope its still in good condition when you get it back.
  25. does the gts actually have an "oversteer-o-meter" as described on the 2nd page of the pdf? that is rather humerous. anywhoo, gotta agree with the aboves, dont think the hsv's in the same league as the gtr. but im just basing that off dad's r8.
