not to be just another "boo hoo i got a speeding fine cause i am a moron who drives like i stole it"

but, just now i was in Bunbury, on the way in i was pulled over by a police man with a wavy red glow stick

(who totally looked like something out of Counterstrike) "we are from the Gang Task Force and you have been pulled over for a random drug and alcohol test" he says

no concern to me, been doing neither - as they were taking a swab an officer came to my car holding a walkie talkie and tells me that they are now going to book me for speeding

i was like "oh man, is it 50 along here, i swear its always been a 60 zone?"

a nerdy looking officer steps up to the car (with this vest that had like SO many pockets it was almost stupid) and shows me some hand held gadget displaying 81km/hr

glaring at me on a big red screen

"you were doing over 80... you are the only car on the road" he says

but i was only doing 60, me thinks

as EVERYONE on here knows there is a fair bit of difference between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour

...maybe 63 if my speedo is out, but 81!? absolute crap

nothing i could do - they book me and my passenger reads that they have only stung me with $150 fine and 2 demerits

count my blessings on a shit situation i guess

PS:

okay maybe a bit of a boo hoo, just feels like i have been screwed because a bunch officers in SWAT gear are bored of a saturday night

I got done for speeding a while back on a hand held, I was so surprised when they flagged me down out a group of cars and showed me a screen that said 81km/h when I was 100% sure I was going 65 in a 70 zone because a car coming the other way flashed me, and I knew exactly where they were (they're at the same spot a few times a week).

I had a chat with the guy and essentially he said it's my word against his in court, and he believes I was going 81 (even though I was behind a bus that would have been going less than 70 too). So I had no choice but to pay up and watch them strip me of another point. :banana:

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
