Now this information probably won't affect most of the people on this board, since milton is a hoon hangout for bogans in commodores and wankers and overriced pieces of crap on a thursday night.

However,

Occasionally I find myself at Milton just as a landmark for hooking up with other folks before moving on, in this particular case I was waiting for Firefrog to meet up so we could go for a couple hot laps up coot-tha.

Pulled into the servo and saw 4 bikes and 3 cars belonging to the boys in blue. Also saw an SAU sticker on a nice grey r33, so i waited around for the owner to show up so i could introduce myself.

The member in question was boosted33 and his mate with f**koffcrazyshit under the hood of his Astina.

We hung out, laughed at guys popping their BOVs right next to the cops, then doing not one, not two, but four laps past milton making noise and then laughed even more when the cops pulled them down a side street for 30 secs then cops came out and headed right, and car goes left.

Watched this happen 3 more times wondering wtf.

Firefrog turned up and not 2 minutes later, our suspicions were confirmed as a bike cop came up and said boosted33 and firefrog had to follow him to a Dept. of Transport defect station.

boosted got out before frog, and frog didn't get any defects (lol) so i'm hoping he's ok =)

So yeah, Milton these days is crawling with police using it as a honeypot to defect people. Advise to stay the hell away for a few months.

edit:

Also did a recon lap of coot-tha first at fairly decent speed, but didn't see anything, stopped at the top briefly then came around to do the proper lap. Had to wait in a parking bay at the bottom of the hill to wait for a 4wd to come out that we saw go up from the lookout, and next thing we see is a piece of crap corolla being chased by police and pulled over. Decided it was a good time to do my lap now (and wondered why they didn't ping me last time) and pulled off a decent time.

Coming down the hill the cops had pulled over the 4wd down near the planetarium.

Looks like Milton->Coot-tha is alllll evil on thursdays.

Yeah I was just filling up there after work. Waiting for my friend to fillup too, then bumped into einstein. No defects for my car, sorry I bailed on ya too Einstein, had to get up early the next morning. My lesson is learnt don't fill up at a BP on thursday nights after work.

that's cool, i'm glad you didn't get defected

as for timed runs on public road, shrug, it's a really nice road and hard to duplicate at professional tracks

it's not like i push things stupidly, it's just a fun back way up to the lookout more or less =)

yeah i went down to check out the action with the DOT in the adjacent Suncorp stadium bus station doing everyone that came near...

there were cops up to 1km away in surrounding streets telling people to turn into the DOT station for inspection...i cruised in the backway and avoided getting rounded up....parked and went for a look-see

we also went up to cootha and we were in the planiterium cp when the cop bikes rolled past...we got outathere quickly!!

pretty safe to say i wont be taking the skyrine out this thurs!!

Cheers

Francisco

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
