For anyone out there who has never been to court... it's a horrible experience.

Went to court today, fought a fine and was happy with the outcome.

Was in there for 4 hours! And giving evidence in the witness box for 20 minutes!

Been there before, problem for me though was that the affidavit didn't exactly match what actually happened. So I had to change my plea to guilty as I never stood a chance with the contents of the affidavit!

I was pretty f**kin' pissed off!

Yeah I had one of those affidavit's. They read it, but then I was questioned over it in the witness box and had to recall all the events!

I even had a school excursion in the court room lol.

What was crazy, was when they a dude who had to come out of the cells downstairs to come to the court room. He walked in through a special door with 2 cops next to him, handcuffed and in prison clothes. He was just standing there, smiling at everyone with a crazy smile on his face! He was up for murder or some serious charge!

When he was escorted out, he shouted "Hope you have a nice day, Mr. Magistrate!"

Unfortunately for me, I didn't get a chance to read it until it was all over. I wouldn't have even bothered going to court in the first place had I read it first.....

Academy Award winner is all I'm going to say!

lol, like a home away from home for me unfortunately, but you're right, something about court rooms that you never get to like.

huh, obviously not your affidavit so why didn't you argue it if you didn't agree with it.....unless it was accurate and you were telling little porkies, yeah :P .

You're allowed to take written material with you on the stand and refer to it regularly by stating you don't recall a case of events.

Anyone who doesn't keep accurate records along the way in written form is wasting their time in court, they'll tear you apart in 60 seconds if they know you don't recall exactly what took place......all 'T's must be crossed and all 'I's must be dotted otherwise don't bother taking time off work to go and just pay up.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
