Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

Pretty sure you can't have anything that you could possibly hit your head on during a crash, thats why it needs to be registered as a 2 seater... I'd imagine that a full cage might also be an issue on modern airbag cars as they alter the way that the car is designed to crumple in an accident.

Cage + 1 inch thick padding foam would probably get you pulled over and done for restricted visibility even if it does get fully engineered as safe.

Exactly!

I think you'll also notice he's got Apple headphones in the 2nd picture, which I think says volumes about iPhone users and their racist tendancies

We unfortunately live in a priveleged age where some people have no significant issues in their lives to worry about, so instead make them up or get offended on behalf of others to fill the void. This priveleged age also affords people the luxury to challenge said problems in the cheapest, laziest and least effective way possible: social media activism...

Protip: if it can be resolved with social media activism it's probably not a real problem lol

Just umm... keep an eye on Leesh's fashion choices... if she says it's just a 'splash of colour', don't believe her.

I think Vic Pol are back on the defect train. Guy in Vic picked up his new S180 Toyota crown from the transport company (previous owner in QLD), 20mins after picking it up gets pulled over. Defected for low height (didnt test it, just put it on the fine), loud exhaust (stock exhaust, again didnt test it. and everyone knows toyota V6's are quiet as fuark) but also done for mexican poke (because large wheels and car not lowered or any camber, cop it sweet).

Maybe he was driving like a tool, i dunno. but this is pointy-spoiler-stays worthy. f**k this gay earth.

[UNR33L]

probably cos he was driving a gay car like a tool with Mexican wheels and the cops saw it

[Odium]

Owned the car for 20 minutes means he was definitely giving it some stick, testing its 0-60 in 9 seconds flat claim... Most likely gave the officer some lip if he got a full book of vague defects thrown at him.

OT: I pretty much bought a car today, getting RWC on Friday and most likely Paying/Picking up on Saturday or Sunday

Someone sent me this recently or posted it on here a couple months ago...they are back on it.

[Odium]

Wait was there an assumption that Vicpol stopped handing out defects?

[Birds]

It's more that hardly anyone in VWL owns an import anymore so the exposure is low

But they did seem to settle down for a bit and Tony(?) said something about EPAs not being given out anymore...

[TiTAN]

Oddly enough my completely stock standard ford hasn't had any issues with defects despite its complete lack of mods.

[UNR33L]

Even my ford hasn't really had much cop attention apart from being on princes hwy a few years back for fog lights.. Was happy to pay the fine based on what I was doing 5 mins before that.

Cops were one of the main reasons I sold my 33 GTR.. would get random EPAs in the mail etc

Get pulled over often on my dirt bike, almost 50% of the time I'm out on it (in the bush)

There was a 2 door 4WD thing on the the freeway passed moe yesterday, it's been really smokey and hazy in the valley but this 4WD had more smoke coming out of it than an old big rig with an escort of 4 Mitsubishi magnas.

Drive up beside it and saw a massive Chequered Tuning sticker on the back...

What did you do to get that kind of letter?

[emts]

guessing noise as it does not sound like a full test.

which if you have the stock exhaust you just swap for the test and be done, at lest that's what I did.

 

 

Is your bike full reg or rec?

Where do you get pulled over?

50% would piss me off!

yeah noise, i went to my 'exhaust guy' got him to put some quiet system on ghetto mounted it basically, got test done then went back to him to swap exhaust back on.. cost me like ~$200 all up including the test roughly i think.. still a pain in the ass with the time it takes to do it etc. 

My bike is full reg, been pulled over at Neerim South, and at Lake Eildon. Didn't see any police at the Anglesea tracks over the weekend. 

50% of like the not many times I ride dirt, but yeh they're definitely out and about on the weekends on their KTMs

This is often because so many of them are stolen

[emts]

they run the chassis numbers on the spot?

think will stick with getting a jetski

[UNR33L]

Just ran rego plate, all good, cya later 

They're more looking to book the unregoed motox bikes 

[Birds]

Mate's dirt bike got nicked from his shed in Warrandyte...18 months later he got a call from cops saying they want to get it out of their evidence locker cause it's taking up space. Apparently they seized it after doing chassis checks on some guys riding dirt bikes in the hills somewhere and no one ever bothered to try calling the actual owner after it went into the lockup. Wasn't too badly molested when he got it back but had already replaced with a newer one lol

[emts]

fair enough.

know lots of farm quads and similar get nicked and resold but as they don't get rego in most cases it's hard to track.

(ours being one of them) 

but yeah checking unrego'ed ones out bush makes sense.
