Just got pulled over not 15 mins ago passing through CBD area.. Cop was a pretty nice bloke, popped my hood and saw the BOV and decided not to give me an EPA fine. Gave me $292 unroadworthy fine which is better than $500 fine + EPA inspection I guess. He also told me their doing a blitz tonight in the city so be careful if any of you guys are heading out tonight.

saw an impressive thing tonight. was waiting to turn onto flinders from swanston and heard shouting. in the time it took me to look, spot the fight, see blood and go "damn", there was an unmarked ford screeching to a halt with the rednblues going and two officers jumping in. very quick response indeed and my appreciation for the cops has increased from its recent low

LMAO Massa will be disappointed as he has been campaigning against unsafe driving ;)

Guess it drops a small bomb on the theory that if hoons tried legal racing they'd keep it off the street - if an F1 driver can't hold back in a Benz :)

Got a good chuckle out of the Hamilton news story. Nice to see they didn't let him go and treated him like anyone else. Is it possible they're blitzing due to the death of the owner of La Porchetta, or is it just because the GP is on and they expect a lot of hoon behaviour?

Reminds me of the time Valentino Rossi was caught at over 200kph on his way to Philip Island a few years ago.

its an election year gotta start getting money to cover all their ridiculous promises..be lots of blitzing

Don't think they give other hoon drivers a police escort home to protect their identity..

My dad was given a lift home by the police after being done at a booze bus 3 years ago. He asked nicely, they said yes and sent him home in the pursuit car. He was friendly and co-operative and they treated him in the same manner.

Don't have to drive anyone home. If they have been good to deal with and it's fairly local I will drive them home. I will always let them call friend to collect them or taxi for them. If they have been pain in the ass and heavily intoxicated I have then locked them up for drunk after dealing with the driving matters.

The city on weekends fri/sat night and public holidays have 50-100 extra members working safe streets (overtime shift) Double time to do pretty much stuff all. It's all stats driven the more arrests, fines, nou, epa etc means you will get more shifts in there earning big money. There is NO warnings for that reason as a warning isn't going to help you get another shift in there earning big money walking around the city.

I love the way your posts make yourself out the be the 'knight in shining armour' Police Officer. I'd be willing to put money on it that you don't do half the things you claim you do, just like the rest of your 'esteemed' colleagues. :O

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
