that would be every muzzas wirst nightmare, a yellow vl turbo with interceptor rims and dumped on its ass!! :bahaha:

yeah theres also an XD with a 5.8litre that police use... i think its actually cars they own themselves or something... cause i remember a few years back cops were using their own cars for a while.

And which SS was it... a VX...

naughty naughty/silly silly.

And cops in their own cars ? Well... if they are driving around hotted up cars... can we get like a civil arreast or something and then go over them for an EPA on ... or a Canary ?

better yet BOTH

you ever tried doing it ?

you have to report it twice... 2 separate occasions before they call it in.

the first call is just where they note it down as a smokey.

second before they call it in.

Cops only do it once, SUKS

I mean i so regularly follow cop motorcycles down the Tulla from Melrose drive right down to Flemington road and they are always doing a min of 120. Sometimes as much as 140 with no light noting.

Just greasing cars as they pass them.

So i just follow them a bit behind.

Good luck if they pull me over.

If it's good for the goose it's good for the gander

Wonder how they get off with all these fixed camera's everywhere.

They can't ALL possibly come up with excuses for getting busted.

oh well. that's my thoughts.

if you'd had as much unjust trouble as i have had for what... just driving a nice and on P's, you'd not be to favourable either.

not to mention some other incidents.

just my mentality i guess. I'm all for death penalties and stuff. but i'll stop now before i upset anyone else.

PREACH IT BROTHA

I agree with you 100% on all counts...but Im a very right wing mother****er

I was driving home this arvo in a 60 zone obeying the speed limit. All of a sudden, this cop car came flying past me at 80+k with no sirens or anything. I saw him again at the lights and he took off really hard and continued to drive down the road at least 20k over the speed limit. Now how do they expect the average joe bloe to obey the speed limit when they themselves show such disregard for the law? I was disillusioned alright...

with regards to this whole thread, i live in the west side-melbourne, and before u judge it accordingly...I have never been dicked. even pulled over. my car is illegal however for some weird reason around my area st.albans, sunshine, etc... they dont seem to bust ppl for performance reasons, unless ur speeding, dragging, etc...

i dont know why but is there some sort of correlation between crime in my area and not being booked for illegal mods on ricey cars???

i think the cops are too scared to book ppl in our area. lol. i c shit bomb v8 and vl being booked but not rexies, or skylines, etc...

I think they recognise who we are.

yes, if cops were policing real crimes then they would have less resources to spend on pulling people over for relatively minor offences.

Depends where you are, my car got done away from my side of the city in like 2 days... after driving around Eastern suburbs for 6 months with no problems whatsoever. I thought I was safe, but soon as it was outside my usual pattern it got done.. hmm.

There are a number of factors - they don't like p platers driving those sorts of cars, and many would say its also a race thing attached.

    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
