First Of All GTS-t Vspec,

Don't you thinkn that it is time to start toning down on the abuse of hicks. what he did was an act of peer pressure. im sure that when u were 19 you did a few silly things that resulted in bad happenings because of Peer Pressure. and yes i was on of those that said "Go on Ben U can do it mate!"

So really enuff is enuff. Also to bag someones family like that its just asking for a beating. (u have no right to call his father stu[id when u dont know him) which would look real good if u went to teach at uni with a couple of black eyes. So please just let sleeping dogs lie. his clutch is fixed its all over god dammit.

on a lighter note.

did ne one hear bout the guys in the commy who stole the number plate of a radar camera guys car and the procceded to do bog laps past the camera at 110 in a 70 zone.

lol commy drivers are good for something!

Psiker,

Chill out man, Hicks and I are friends, therefore all my jokes are in fun and he takes them as such, and so should you. I have no problem with Hick's youthful displays of driving, i.e. burnout comps, but it does provide ample opportunity to get in a free dig.

Guys,

I was watching the news last night, and in NSW they have taken money away from the Special Crimes division and given it to the traffic cops. Don't know about you but I think it is bullshit, I'd rather they were arresting real criminals, not those of us who are a little heavy on the accelerator.

See'ya :burnout:

Paul,

What i think Psiker's on about is the general bagging that goes on hey. It just looks like your constantly at hicks.... friends or not, this is a public/anonymous forum and if people dont know the full story (if your mates from way back when) how are they to know ?

I don't blame Psiker for trying to stick up for someone.

-Kym.

Strich9ine,

I can understand that fully Kym, and I have no beef with Psiker, but Hicks gives as good as he gets, and he's big enough to look after himself. I'm sorry if my bagging has offended anyone, but it's usually tit-for-tat and all in jest.

P.S. I love you Hicks:cheers:

See'ya:burnout:

I know something u dont know:rolleyes: :D

Lets just say this: Speed cams are illegal on freeway now but handheld from overpasses are not and a radar detector wont pick them up (proven theory) i saw 3 ppl pulled over at the same time on mt henry plus 2 more by plain cars in south perth freeway.

Cracking down gets the point across so u cant blame em. 250 ppl in 30mins on the Polly pipe has gotta tell u sumfin.(police christmas party paid for)

Here's a review of some of the radar jammer products availible.

don't know how true this is.

Western Australia set for big changes

The West Australian Nov 9 2002.

Device ban to net speed trap evaders

RADAR detectors used by motorists to warn of nearby speed cameras and hand-held radars may soon be banned in WA, with a report on the issue being prepared for the State Government.

WA Office of Road Safety executive director Iain Cameron said yesterday research on the effect of bans in other States was being compiled and would soon be reviewed by the WA Road Safety Council. The council is the advisory body to the Government on road safety issues.

WA is the only Australian jurisdiction which has not banned the use of the detectors while driving.

Mr Cameron denied WA was dragging the chain on the issue, saying all road safety issues had to be assessed and prioritised, depending on their potential to reduce the road toll. Information on the effect of the bans in other States was not readily available and had to be tracked down.

The devices were outlawed in other States as part of the national road rules introduced in 2000 but the then-WA government was granted an exemption on the basis that it would carry out a policy review on the issue.

Moves are underway to reopen the issue and it appears it will only be a matter of time before these devices are banned following uniformity in all states!

I didn't think they could be placed actually in the tunnel. I thought they needed a certain type of background to calculate the speed, and the tunnel didn't work cause its all the same in there.

p.s. I love you too, v spec. :D :whackit:

I know that in the tunnel that goes under Sydney Harbour they can record your speed. It gets displayed on one of those overhead displays if u r going over the limit. They can also cut into your car radio and let you know if your speeding or of breakdowns etc. They send this info to the NSW Road Taffic Authority so if they can issue infringements. So if it can be done there they can do it here both tunnels look to be similiar (internally anyhow)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
