A father who took the blame for his son’s indiscretion has been given a 3 month custodial sentence. Robert Logue – who had a clean licence – took the blame when his son was caught by a speed camera driving at 51mph in a 40mph zone near Boston, Lincolnshire, last October.

Police were alerted to the offence when the son, also named Robert, boasted to a friend about how he escaped the 3 points on top his already loaded 9 point licence. The friend – presumably ex-friend now - then alerted the authorities.

Another reason why, if you do something illegal, you keep your pie hole shut.

But given how close the Australian and British legal systems are, this could potentially affect us. If we have any lawyers in the house they might be better to comment, but from what I've heard case law in other countries that have similar justice systems to ours can sometimes be applied.

That's it, it's a personal matter anyway - this is called 'over exposing' yourself. One should be more risk-adverse - if it's illegal then keep it inside and don't share it with anyone - firstly, it's not like it's an admirable thing anyways, secondly - it's none of anyone else's business.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
