So Knox police putting a stop to SNL... no more BP Eastlink. theres talk of safety hazard backing up the freeway with people trying to get in. i kind of understand it... but its hardly co-operating with the organisers (though I guess its not technically a legal meet, especially when you got 500 cars showing up)

[Count Grantleyish]

And why is the meet point at BP Eastlink more to the point?

Why not somewhere safer like ex masters store or something?

Unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the meet point just can't get any worse. Sad

It would be interesting to see how they could legally enforce this, short of defecting everyone. Technically it's just a random bunch of cars parking in a car park that is private property (I imagine, owned or rented by the service station?). What's illegal about that? Maybe they should wait until something actually happens.

I mean, if they are worried about traffic banking up because of a meet...have they driven on the Monash in the last 15 years?

The better was at Daniels Donuts, which is a 24 hour Donut/Pie shop which is in a little "shopping centre" with a massive shared car park which is outdoors and open 24/7.

Apparently police came and shooed everyone away, when they were legitimately buying food from a place that is open 24 hours, none of the other shops in that area were open.
Telling them to move on from a legal parking spot trying to legally buy food from an open business serving them? Pretty lolsy.

[Odium]

Maybe they're trying to protect us.... Or alternatively, they could kill two birds with one stone

They mentioned theyd be turning cars away... But yeah i dont know how they could really really enforce it "im just washing my car, getting fuel, getting food then loitering"

[UNR33L]

I'd be keen to go down this saturday for shits and gigs to check it out.. see who still goes. Not like they can defect me except for foglights lel.

[Leroy Peterson]

Maybe go to the one on the otherside? lol id be surprised if they had staff at both approaching any car thats cleaner than most others.

BP eastlink doesnt sell kebabs so im happy to find somewhere else to stand around. Was standing around with VIP people at bottom of olivers hill jetty last weekend and had some dude in the wrangler drive passed slowly and call us gayflamin mongrels. (Mind you one of the guys had a drift RC car)

The jobless life, bored af i digged it out of the cupboard and did some repairs / recharging dat battery. 

[Down_Shift]

Same here Leigh!

And it's only been day 4 of unemployment.  

[emts]

So seems I'm about to become homeless.

looking like I'm going to have to move home with the folks.

 

not sure if I've worked out this adult thing yet.

[Leroy Peterson]

??

First week of unemployment is frustrating. Then cruise control kicks in and you could be in a slump for years.

[emts]

So got a notice to vacate current rental as they have decided to sell, and there be a couple months cross over from this place to the new house finished.

thinking finding a short term renal plus moving stuff multiple times is too much a PITA

 

So thinking put stuff in storage and use the rent money for new furniture.

Martin that sucks, worst timing for you - move stuff to your new property lock it up and stay at a cheap hotel for a few weeks?

Actually lets all stay at Pats place

I got a spare room but no room for storage.
