well .. I got pulled over on Saturday night.
Coming back from my folks place in Ocean Reef, decided to do a lap of Northbridge. Got off the freeway at James Street, went through the lights, as soon as I get near Russell Park (Where our indiginous brethren live) and a cop car was on the side of the road, both cops out, one was checking another car, the other cop runs in to the middle of the road, his little orange anal plug (torch?! ) shining at me.
I pull over, get out of the car, and this is pretty much what transpired:
"Good evening sir, have you had anything to drink tonight"
I've had one beer.
"Please blow in to this (no Paul, he did not pull down his pants!)"
Blow.
"Ok sir, now, your exhaust, that's a yellow sticker waiting to happen. Is that the standard exhaust?"
No, thats how it came from Japan.
"Do you have the original exhaust?"
Nope.
"Well, you're lucky I'm busy tonight, but make sure you get it checked out, that's definately a yellow sticker waiting to happen"
"Actually, let me see your intercooler. Most of the time they're stuck on with chewing gum or plumbing supplies"
"Yeah, that seems fairly secure"
Yep, I've had it bolted on to the chassis.
"Wheres your intercooler?"
Well, you can't see it from the engine bay as it is the stock intercooler, you need to look under the passenger headlight.
"Wow, that's a bright light. Your intercooler looks alright. Have a good night, but get that exhaust checked".
Thank you sir, have a great weekend.
Jason.
