The training and the job changes you in a big way, yes. It makes you more confident, more assertive and definitely less tolerant. But you gotta learn to turn that on and off, if someone's a reasonable person, I'll play nice. If they're not I won't.

The people looking at you thing you get used to pretty quickly. I always just look back...

I was born a suspicious person, I was like that well before the cops, and I'm extremely good at reading someone, even if they're an excellent liar, if there's something that just doesn't ad up, I won't let up until I'm satisfied. Some people can keep an absolute straight face and be extremely convincing on face value (lulz pun); but when you delve deeper, you begin to look past their bullshit and see right through them.

to be an effective liar you have to have a DAMN good memory.

Damn, well im screwed then..

Seriously you must be a fan of 'lie to me' and with those skills angling for the D's one day or happy as a pig in mud in the HWP?

(oh crap i just realised the unfortunate pun there, unintentional but not tactful enough to think of another one)

Recruit training in the army certainly sloughed away a few of my bad habits and that was after only a month of it, im not surprised that after nearly six months of intense behaviour modification you come out a different person. Sounds like mostly for the better though and once your on the job your personality would re assert itself eventually I imagine.

anymore odd traffic stops lately?

I noticed on the odd times i saw them on 'the force' or 'motorway/highway patrol' programmes (the only reality tv i can handle) that it was often the young P platers in a group that would have an attitude when pulled over and throw out a few choice lines, always to their own detriment. I cant understand how people dont realise how much in their at your mercy..no sympathy when they get 5 or 6 different charges thrown at them when a polite demeanor would have resulted in only one or possibly a warning.

I'd say theres 10 filmed for every 1 shown, but yeah, it beggars belief how people get narky. If you truly believe you weren't in the wrong, explain yourself calmly and politely, but if you know you were in the wrong, agree, and cop it sweet (been there done that, it just works out the best in the end)

Damn, well im screwed then..

Patrick,

Just play texas holdem at vegas for 2 months, or manila poker with a bunch of us chinese for 1 month and then you'll be right unless upon questionning, you look up and to the left = lie

aargh, obvious grammar typo and i cant go back and edit once someones posted after me. ohhh the shame, the shame.

anyway totally agree CPD, and would love to see the uncut force stuff they didnt show probably be something like that decades old doco they did in redfern with the cops. forget the name but they all got transferred to the boonies afterwards for carrying on about coons etc

oh and Terry, whats the buy in? ifs its under 20 bucks and i dont need to be fluent in cantonese or mandarin im in!

:cheers:

    • 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
