Worth going to jail for attempted murder?

I'd hardly classify street racers as "car enthusiasts"..... An enthusiast is someone who knows and respects the boundaries of their car, and is aware of the fact that public roads were created for travel purposes, and were never intended to be used as a racetrack. Don't stick entusiasts in the same basket as common hoons.

Any word on which direction the cruise is headed?

I have been trying to do some research on this topic, by asking people who have had their cars stolen about the types of security devices which were in place at the time. I've been asking this in every "stolen" thread i've been able to find over the last 6 months or so, and guess what? Not once have I had a response. This leads me to believe that when peoples cars are stolen, they are left with the doors open, and keys in the ignition. Doesn't it make sense that if your car was stolen, you'd want to try and stop the same thing happening to other people? Wouldn't it be logical to use what you have learned to help other people organise the best possible protection for their cars? Or does having your car stolen leave you so bitter and resentful that you actually WANT other people to have their cars stolen? If anyone who has had their car stolen can respond to this, i'd like to know the following: Which security systems were in place at the time of theft? Were the windows closed? Were the doors locked? Was the steering wheel locked? Was a club lock/pedal lock/shifter lock in place? Was an alarm in use? Was an immobiliser in use? GPS tracking? BFD? I'm also very interested in the point of entry, and method of entry. eg: smashed rear 1/4 window, smashed drivers window, forced door lock, entry via boot etc. I have always felt that alarms don't do anything apart from make noise, and i'm extremely interested in hearing from anyone who thinks that an alarm has saved their car from being stolen.

With cams, it's not just about whether or not you want to race your car. It's also public liability insurance for events/car shows etc. I think what SLYWPN is saying, is he wants to be a full member.... for free. and wtf? what opinion? when did i voice an opinion?

Snowman, this may be the case, but even if the people who have their cams licence through another club are able to attend these events, unless they have paid the full membership fee to this club, they still won't be able to find out about the cruises if they can't access the members forum to get the details. Hence the "levels/tiers" of membership question. and andrew, if you can't contribute something of value, stop wasting peoples valuable reading time.

good. another hoon and their skyline off the road. It all works towards making the roads a safer place for those who behave responsibly.

I asked this same question at one of the meetings.... I was told that "levels" of membership wasn't going to happen. I doubt anything has changed since then.

Well if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black....... Do you recall the tantrum you threw when some old posts were removed in another forum and your post count went down? We aren't just talking post counts here, this is a bit more involved... Without his account, he has lost access to his gallery, his trader rating, his PM's etc etc.

Purple Pig also has an outlet at: 180-184 McIntyre Road, North Sunshine ...and if you go to their site you can download .pdf catalogues with prices. http://www.purplepig.com.au/ AVO sells the stuff, (be prepared to get reamed) You can also buy it at Autobarn, if it's not in stock they can order it in... they have the pretty blue stuff, and the orange bandage covered sort. (yay for my technical terminology)

I see..... and what did you drive previously?

Abusing a long term member for telling it the way (edit)it is(/edit) they see things isn't very adult either. Edited.... because i know i'm going to cop abuse for posting.

Is this still going ahead? The Red Cross have stopped taking donations for this cause now. :headspin:

I think i need that purple thing.

inark is broken as well... has been since last year with multiple requests for someone to try fix him.

um... air-con on "hot"? Wouldn't that be the heater? ...anything vanilla, i'll buy it. My car smells like a cross between an ashtray and an ice-cream. I've tried the trees, other cardboard based air fresheners and they don't last very long. I also have issues with the fact that if they touch anything plastic, it kills the plastic. I have tried the little balls that you put in the ashtray, they smell great but don't last long. The little bottles of "perfume" stuff are just way too over powering, and cause me to dry reach. The clips that go onto the vents are the best ones i've found so far.

In the interest of research, and in an effort to help other people protect their cars from the same fate, I'd like to try and establish which security devices/systems were in place at the time it was stolen. (I've been asking this question for a couple of months now, and for some reason have not yet received a single answer, which leaves me to believe that people leave their cars unlocked with the keys inside) Please understand this has nothing to do with "you should have done this, you should have done that"..... It is simply to establish how far car theives are willing to go. So far it has been established that there was no alarm, but which (if any) other security devices were in use? Steering lock? Door locks? Immobiliser/kill switch? BFD? other? I guess there is no "point of entry" information until the car (hopefully) has been recovered.

Check the "welcome to vic" thread for links and info on workshops/ tuners / wreckers etc.

If I run optimax, the car struggles like a bitch and pings its nuts off. Synergy and Ultimate are both fine.

er...... i guess you meant to put the link in and kind of forgot?
