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.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
