they're no different here in the switch to anywhere else mate.

I drove around for 12 months with a cf bonnet and never had an issue.

I did not hang out in the usual boy racer haunts tho. lappin the switch is a guaranteed way to get your arse caned on a regular basis.

You fita cf bonnet and ya takes ya chances. My mate from logan just got done and had to have it cleared but as he said, its no biggie.

Hook up with us some time and we'll show you the ropes in the switch.

It doesn't matter where you are, if a cop wants to bend you over he will.

I got done in Ippy (I don't live there) for beeping my horn. lol and the copper said I was hooning. I didn't realise hooning consisted of beeping a horn.

What was the fine for beeping? My brother got booked for that (and a plethora of other things, lol) many moons ago and it was something like "inappropriate use of an emergency device" if I recall? That was also in Ipswich incidentally.

Yeh drive around with the Carbon hood but I would be packing some lube. Its like swimming in a tank of sharks and thinking.....could I get bitten.......It might not happen overnight but it will happen.

The only bonnets they are letting go is the BLITS fibreglass bonnets as they are ADR approved.

Goodluck.....especially in Ippy

Cheers

It was really funny because it was a $60 fine and for the description on the fine he wrote "Toot toot toot toot, telling her friends she was here"

The lady at the Dept Trans when I paid for it lol'd.
