Yep, I too remember the days when hot street cars cruised the streets of Adelaide without a worry in the world. But we're now recognised as wallets on wheel unfortunately, and times have changed. Any car can be defected if the police want to ruin your day.
I got pulled over last night for the first time in the Stagea. It was a random breath testing station outside the entertainment centre. I was in the far right hand lane, but as soon as the cop saw me, he blocked off two lanes and directed me to go in. Here we go! They did the usual breath test, while another cop was having a good look inside the cabin (looking for Apexi gear no doubt) they then directed me a bit further up the road to allow the other cars out and told me to park my car.
First it was a look under the bonnet. I've always endeavoured to keep my car looking stock, and these cops really had no idea what they were looking for anyway. They queried a few things under the bonnet but that was it. Didn't look under the car, nor checked out my exhaust On your way.
Was biting my nails tho. Thought they were just going to find 'something'.
