lol, you read it wrong man. trust me it says "timing belt changed at 50,000kms". nothing to worry about, just chuck it in the bin.

[dodgybrooks]

My Japanese is not great but I translated it as 'Bank error in your favour, collect 50万円'

[insanity]

If you pass go, collect 50万円

sorry to hear about it Laurence... hope it doesn't stop you drifting

I hope the police force doesn't use google translate... Otherwise you're screwed. Tough break there. Though did they use your video as evidence too? Or just theirs?

[Laurence]

Thanks for the hopeful translations but I guess I can't really complain considering how often I "used to" go

The fine I got was for July 8th 2006!!!

I knew other people had been caught, but I thought I had gotten away with it because I stopped going around September. But unfortunately not.

The best thing about it is that it has finally put enough of a cash problem my way that I need to get out of Nova which everyone thinks is a good thing. But yes, insanity, unfortunately it will stop me drifting, but only for a few months and I think my bosouzoku career has reached its end. But I will be back and heading to the track as soon as the wallet recovers.

Thanks for the nice replies guys, they cheered me up a bit

thats a hard hit isnt it mate? just think..it couldve been worse. That couldve been a pink slip in the mail instead..

personally, i had thousands of dollars in fines back in oz and ive only just managed to clear it up after 3 years of payments..!!

just think... in ozzie dollars $5k is quite a chunk of change but when you think of it in yen, it desnt seem to feel so bad..its only yen after all.

what i dont understand is how they managed to get you..

was it through the vid? i mean was that you filming? i didnt see any plates and if that was you who ghosted them on the other side of the road, there shouldnt have been any problem..

[Kaido_RR]

f*k me 500,000yen

maybe its time to start helping jessing and sell sell sell parts to people in australia!

[Hungryhippo]

I feel for you man.how many people is it now that have been caught from the forum?

[m3gtr]

they are notorious here for their fines..

they dont mind you having a slammed, chopped, blown, lit up, flame throwing, defectable, nos injected rice burner but if they catch you speeding in it..

whoa momma, look out.

If you get done it's harsh, but there are hardly any cops out and about, the fixed speed cameras are turned off more than half of time and paddy cars can't get you for doing anything unless they have their flashy red lights turned on (seriously they drive around with them turned on, no sound just the lights. Pretty disconcerting the first time you see it). So to get done is pretty unlucky.

Although it's probably a different story in the cities around the drift spots. They just don't seem to care much about us country kids.

50万円would have bought some nice bits for the s14, a trip home and still have plenty left for some soapland/health time. I feel for you Laurence.

[m3gtr]

i know what you mean steve. i say he was damn unlucky, considering what we know about this place. Yeah the cops dont drive fast cars unless its on the wangan or other stretcher of long straight road. thats where their gtrs and nsxs come into play. still..the fines are outfeckinrageously expensive. imagine what wouldve happened if he was caught in oz doing that... books would be getting thrown around.

btw, you manage to sell your 3 yet? ill be an evo owner too very soon. wifey and i have about a mil up our sleeves. that should net us a nice 5 or 6.

cant wait to hit the twisty stuff.

again, laurence, you have my commiserations. you might actually hve to cut back on your chu-hi consumption for a while..

[Blitz]

That sucks Laurence, I know of a few people who have been shafted drifting at Nanko recently.

500,000 Yen fine seems to be the norm

[d0p3y]

Holy shitballs!!

Thats one hell of a fine!

Nice video though, I enjoyed

[ebola]
