As the subject suggests, I hope everyone had a great new years eve !!

I had a great little encounter on New Years eve and I hope its a sign of things to come.

Anyway I was stopped by a "highway patrol" car (one of the new brightly painted Fords) on my way home after work in North Melbourne.

I thought here we go, they are going to bust me for being too loud or too low.

The cop asked me for my license and told me he was going to do a random breath test. While the cop checked my license his partner started walking around my car, and even crouched down to look underneath. At this point I thought he was going to start asking me what mods I have.

To my complete surprise he said "great car" he told me to take it easy and to have a safe new years eve.

I was totally shocked, my last few encounters with cops have been painfull.

Anyway just thought it would be nice to post about a pleasent encounter with the cops, and I hope we can all be this fortunate this year.

Cheers :P

ba denham! I got pulled over quite a few times in melb for various things (the most notable being the 3 days before I left) and in every instance (where i was driving!) they've let me go without incident. Once you get older the hassle gets smaller, you're not a "target" anymore for them..

I spent new years on broadbeach which was great. See the photo in my thread, that is basically where i spent NYE, drinking on the beach (which is fully legal, unlike police state VIC), and there were fireworks there. So yeah, good :P

    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
    • I think depending how much left over cash I have after all the kids and wife (daycare, extra curriculum activities, toys, and whatever they drain from my account, wife's spending, etc.) I might go for the Advan A052 OR if the bank account says no, then Nankang CR-S.
