i think the stats are over 50% of pedestrian deaths have alchohol in their system.  

sympathy for this: 0%

You're right, if you're majorly mashed and step out in front of a car you're askin for trouble. BUT

Does that 50% include people who have had 2 light beers in a 3 hour period?? Still no sympathy?? Of those people with alcohol in their system, how many were hit by speeding vehicles? Making a judgement on simple bullshit stats like the one above does not mean anything.

I would say no sympathy for the driver who hits the pedestrian while speeding.

Interesting subject!

Have you guys seen the way the police and ambulances fly down a very crowded chapel st on a friday or saturday night? Very stupid indeed - its only a matter of time before they hit [or worse kill] someone imo. A marked car did it tonight, he was cruising down the middle of the road with lights & siren on doing approx 50/60 km/h then he plants the foot and the V8 engine came alive - I witnessed several pedestrians run for cover, very silly indeed.

Also moments later an unmarked police car [silver VT / VX commodore V8] pulled up a camry [right in front of where I was sitting] for something and blocked half the traffic from getting past - even the tram driver was dinging his bell. I forgot to mention the best part, in the 10-15mins he was "doing his job" his flashing lights were not even on! [did have hazards flashing though - not good enough I say] And the same cop actually shoved his way through the traffic to do a u-turn without using his flashing lights - and would you believe people actually moved for him [remember an unmarked car with no visual sign of being Police, could have been a security guard that wears similar shirt etc imo] - a Black supra even reversed to get out of his way ~ I wouldnt have. AFAIK they must have their lights ON and most cases siren too if in pursuit, let alone a street FULL of cars & people traffic. After u-turn was completed then he baulk around 2 cars like some slalom event THEN finally hits the flashing lights and siren and punches it into hyperspeed! - again not good enough imo.

Hopefully the authorities are reading THIS post!

Yes, there is still more [this one is fairly minor but for the ricers out there, this may get your back up]. A marked Divisional van indicating to turn left from a side st on to chapel was actually emmitting a WHITE colored indicator from the rear! Surely WHITE is only allowed for reverse lights at the back of a car? It looked as thought the lens was broken - thus an un-roadworthy vehicle hmm

All of this over just one latte :D

*shrugs*

Yes, shocking. I say we gather a register of license plates, times, places, and the events we see. Maybe reporting by reporting them something will be done. I know they protect their own but still, those higher up wouldn't like to see their officers doing this sort of thing.

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
