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

    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
