And thats what I'm doing mate. Fighting for something I believe in. I believe things can only get better if a relationship with SAPOL is established and a clearer understanding of what is an "unsafe mod" is communicated, before a defect is issued. I have just felt that some of your comments have come across with "good luck with the police" negativity. Its hard enough with the younger members talking rubbish about cops and defects, but when I read a comment from someone of your status in the community that is too broad a statement (illegal mods), I take it as negative and against what we are trying to establish.
I'm not apologising for being passionate and a car enthusiast. But I do apologise if you thought it was a personal attack ... it was not.
People like Nene, Kellie, Ben and myself have taken that step forward and comminucated with SAPOL to get an understanding between the two groups. Some people just don't believe it can happen ... and its not an easy job to do. Kudos to Nene for keeping it up.
Peace.
Add: thats why we also have these mini meets at Vilis and BP; so we can discuss these kind of topics across the table in a relaxed atmosphere, rather than on the forum where things get out of hand too easily.
Gee Andrew, I think Martin and I (and you?) would be about on par with each other!?! Don't know if I'm insulting myself or you guys now
