This forum and all other car forums around the country are suffering a constant barrage of posts from disgruntled members who have been unjustly treated by the police. It has been a reoccuring issue for a long time, the future of our hobby is bleak if we continue to roll over and let this happen. The reasons for which some police officers are issuing people fines are becoming ridiculous. The people allowing this to happen are unbelievable, it's extremely unjust. It's persecution and it is rarely accepted by anyone these days, so why should we have to accept it? This sort of treatment shouldn't be part and parcel of owning a modified car. Someone has to speak up and represent car enthusiasts in the right manner, it is the only way for this to cease. It is time for a change. I propose that all car enthusiasts from Australia join forces to launch a petition that actually has some weight behind it, rather than just people signing a bit of paper. We need Engineers to put together statements concisely explaining to every day non enthusiasts that, if modified correctly, vehicles do not pose a safety risk and in fact, can be safer than their stock counterparts. We need someone to be a spokesperson for the campaign; a person that has the ability to speak in a way that people remember and understand. The fact that enthusiasts are responsible people needs to be stressed, but it has to go deeper than that. We need to convey how much the car scene benefits society. It boosts our economy greatly, it employs hundreds of thousands of people and it keeps people on the straight and narrow, doing something that, contrary to popular belief, is productive. Often, motorsport is a great family orientated hobby/sport, one that stresses safety is of the utmost importance. We need the general public and the people who can pull the strings to hear this side of what we are all so passionate about! This could be done with little cost, by utilising free media like YouTube and Facebook to launch a campaign. Getting enough interest should be fairly easy, there are an array of Australian car enthusiast forums and I'm certain (well I'd like to think) that most, if not all members would sign a petition and get behind a campaign such as this. Who knows; by pushing our side of the story through forums like YouTube and Facebook, maybe we will even gain more enthusiasts, or at the very least change some people's minds about us. I believe it's possible and I'm prepared to get involved. If anyone wants to have a crack at this, let's get the ball rolling. Anyone have any ideas about what else we need to launch a campaign? Any web designers, videographers or engineers on here that want to give it a go? One person getting slapped with a fine can't do anything, but there's strength in numbers if people actually pull their fingers out and do something about it. Many minority groups rally for their causes. We can do the same, if we project the right image to the public, rather than carrying on like the immature imbeciles that ACA selectively include in their sensationalist stories, then we may be in with a shot. Let the law abiding members, which is the majority of us, fly the flag for our hobby. It has got to be better than letting some angry idiot getting defected for his poking 23's rave about how dodgy the cops are on ACA. Let's make some noise!

Someone throw a figure at me, I really don't want it. Most offers will be considered.

This is so frustrating. Who do they think they are to pick on people and take their hard earned cash away if the car isn't a dangerous vehicle? It's ridiculous how they deem certain things dangerous.

Bump, make me an offer, I really want this gone.

The car is gorgeous, whoever buys it will be stoked!

BF3 better than MW3? (online play PS3 is what I'm interested in).

The number plates make it even funnier, who would forgive him for THAT?

208,000.

Are there any injury lawyers on this site from QLD? If so, I'd really like to shoot you a PM about a potential case involving myself. Cheers

BUMP

Bump!

Do the 34 rims come with it?

How do you know the car isn't running rich if you can't even open an airbox or "fix" the gap on a plug?

Haven't modded a single car this year. Was nice to just have a reliable falcon to cruise around in without having to worry. Put about 40k on it in the past year. Nice change from 2010 when I was doing engine conversions and 5 speed conversions on my ute and my project car. I get my opens in Feb so hopefully I can find a skyline and start all over again with a car that's worth modifying

Just make sure your hand brake is on and the car is in the gear that you value the least. Chuck a mate in there to hold the brakes on and turn the wheel for a bit of extra friction for security. Make sure it can't move by tying it on as said (I'd also have the winch tightened if you can) and then take it a bit easy, towing a trailer with a car on it isn't hard if you use your brain, let people overtake you and if the trailer gets unsettled don't smash your brakes, pump them once and power out.

Such a clean project. What are the plans for it now?

2 dorra. Living in the US would be sweet. Everything seems awesome over there, I've been buying R/C and dirt bike gear from the US for years. Just need to make sure you have a job that pays well and includes health cover and a car with a big bullbar so when you drive on the left side of the road like God intended, you wouldn't need to use your health care.

mattis96, you're right. I have a mate that thought it was free internet and has been going crazy as on it, lol.... cpd, yeah I know I just wanted to see FML I want to play, lol.
