I couldn't convince the policeman that my car couldn't possibly do the speed he was suggesting... lol

well in regards to this topic i read in the daily telegraph yesterday or the day before that the Cessna hasn't even left the ground. Because of the bad weather its been grounded meaning it hasn't even made the government any money yet :P

I know I am necro-ing an old post, but I saw the plane in action on Jan 2nd or whatever day it is that everyone heads from Sydney to Can'tberra for Summernats... flying low above the Hume near Cambotown...

The used to have the lines on the road, but in the news reports when they announced they were re-starting the P!gs in Space force they mentioned new technology, so I assumed they were now using laser or radar...

It is actually a good deterent to speeding, because you never know if you are safe... lots of drivers just slow down for the permanent cameras and then speed up (like I do :banana: ) or rely on their 'lightning quick reactions' to see and slow down for a car with a hair dryer... at least P!gs in Space actually slow down drivers all the time...

My old Scout Leader used to fly the original plane (he is a cop and a pilot), and actually not a bad bloke... he was Air Wing, not Highway Patrol, so that might explaing why he wasn't a tnuc... and he never tried to penetrate my arse or anyone I know either (just getting in before some other smart arse does :()...

OK they're operating now on the M4.

The flight path is such that whatever direction you're taking E or W, the little plane is slightly to your left when going the same direction as yourself.

I just sit in lane #2 now and watch 2/3 of the world go by.

Q. So how many speed violaters has this plane caught in 4 months?

A. 16 and counting...

Some of you far-sighted SAUers can now say, "I told you so"

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
