My ex lost his 9 times - he went to the main station one time to get a print out and hand it in again ...... the print out of his driving record was 5 pages and while we were there i was just staring out the window at the police cars and multinovas etc there and this cop comes up behind me and goes "Nothing worth stealing out there luv" i mean what tha?? that was rude!!

Anyway when it comes to my license - i shouldve lost it twice by now if it wasnt for some friendly forgiving cops so i cant bag them :D I am currently surviving on 3 points. I had a cop ask me the other day how many points i had left and i go "only three" and he raises his eyebrow at me and i go "Well i drive a fast car ok?" and he just cracked up laughing .... so most of the time i find them pretty cool.

Count me in for twice.

1st time was very much the same situation as Docile. I took it to court - wasted lots of time and basically was told by the Judge "these little cars are pretty zippy these days" and had 6 points taken off me for doing 10 over the limit. Byegones.

2nd time was a silly me on my motorbike. A run of bad luck with small fines and one decent one on the bike and it was game over. This time it was fair. Lesson learnt.

If you really want to string out the time before you hand in the license, just don't pay the fine. You'll get a blue "reminder" notice with $10 added. Wait longer and you'll get a friendly court notice to pay, adding about $30. Timewise this process takes about 3-4 months and you get 1 month to pay the court notice - so there's an extra 5 months possibly which could come in handy depending on your situation. :D

Yeh i was thinking about that Cam. I have two fines which i want to pay asap, so i can get back on the road by Christmas

Theres only 3 good points to all this.

1) car racks up less k's, so better resale

2) i save money AND the biggest thing

3) car stays in the garage and gets the full treatment in "secret".... :D

Yeh Erik, i have to agree with Rob . You really gotta quit these rediculous posts.

I used to be in that club... really treadin' on egg shells innit. I'm in the six point club at present.

I long for the old days when the cops had to chase you and it was a fair fight!! Now they're trialing spy satelite technology in Pommieland.

Does everyone agree that the general duty cops are fair enough and that all those in Traffic Branch have various degrees of 'personality disorder'?

actually my experience is the other way around.

the guys in traffic are much better educated and informed, and are generally less cowboyish..

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
