Saving will be from not hiring the track from MSW

That may be the case. However, it was not what I was quoting and referring to. The spokesperson said savings would be made because they did not have to travel to and from collie. Nothing mentioned about the costs in hiring the track.

Guess it depends on the finer details.

Cant see them doing this on the freeway etc....it will be closed off roads somewhere away from the public etc.

Hope so. :thumbsup: However original article was published some time ago, no more details so far.

I recall few years ago guy in Excel managed to get away from at least two police cars.

Maybe its been decided to not go any further?

Police will abort a pursuit the moment it gets too dangerous/deadly to anyone (themself, public or suspected criminal) and this can be deemed several ways....so again, with out knowing the complete story of that certain pursuit, it would be hard to comment much further on why or how the Excel driver got away from 2 police vehicles. My guess is it was not due to the driving skill of the police involved IF that is what you were implying.

And, have you spoken to anyone about your concerns on this matter? Be it politians at any levels or the Police dept/commisioners office etc??

Maybe. Don't know. I don't work for the police or for the media.

I don't have enough information, only what media has provided at that point of time. If my memory serves me correctly, I also recall that at least one police vehicle was crashed during that pursuit and a dog (?) was injured and taken to the vet. I would like to think that if someone wants to know more and he or she approaches Department of Police, they would gladly provide all the details to that individual.

And no, I wasn't talking about driving skills of the police officers involved in that particular chasing. However, better training would not hurt any of us.

And, have you spoken to anyone about your concerns on this matter? Be it politians at any levels or the Police dept/commisioners office etc??

No, I have not. Current version of so called "Anti hoon law" is more important for me at this stage. But thank you for the idea, I might approach them in the near future.

Be careful - you wishes may come true. I read in the magazine that some bikie clubs aren't accepting the applications from pedophiles and people who were in police force (interesting point of view at least), so you may close that opportunity for yourself forever :-P

Why do certain people on this forum have such an anti-cop attitude, they serve a job, some are dicks, some arent we don't need to bitch about it all day every day.

At least dan is keeping a somewhat unbiased mind to this conversation.

Oh and Bard.

Seriously.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
