Yeah but with that story on rann, they ran another web based poll and 9/10's said he'd be out next election - disatisfaction with the Rann govt is widespread at the moment, so again, 'tell him he's dreamin'

-D

Didn't see that one. Well the pollies might back him for another 10 years but it's the voting public who have the final say so you're right, tell him he's dreamin' :)

so the police now use youtube and internet forums to do their job? dont they realise how much bs gets posted on the net?

like mentioned earlier, today tonight pull a feature on adelaide hills "drift racing" footage that turned out it was from the streets of japan, f**k there was even japanese lettering printed on the roads in that vid!

and with the idea of helping change police/media views on imports, that would be like me saying lets help politicians be honest, it isnt gonna happen.

its the fools out there doing stupid shit like burnouts/drift in the suburbs that ruin it for the sensible drivers that understand there is a time and a place for it, and its not on public roads. i agree we need a drag stip and somewhere that holds regular drift meets, like other states. but here in sa we get a revenue camera on every intersection instead!

Anyway I don't care about defects/blitzes/hoon laws, I have a 100% stock car that I drive like a pensioner

+1 for me too :)

u will prob find that when u get caught at a redlight speed camera u will now get defected also via the mail...

hahahahhaah

not long before you can get defected for not folding toilet paper in a certain measurement

or if you fart over a certain db

I remember reading an article about noise cameras that detect cars that are too loud take a picture of the said car and send a fine to the owner.

My arse got defected! :):)

Haha, apparently it works like a normal speed camera but has a series of microphones to pick up sound and is triggered by sounds over a certain decibel. I can't remember what they said about placement but I'm pretty sure they only have them in the eastern states.

to take a snap of an unrego'd car we'd need to have implemented an e-rego system. electronic licence plates basically, youd be detectable at every set of lights, ever revenue camera, etc.

+1 Dave. +1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 I can't actually type the amount of 1's I'd like to.

I used to work opposite that Advertiser building. I was sure to give the building a angry glare now and again.

it wouldn't be too hard to build character recognition into a camera linked to transport SA so when a plate triggers a non reg flag the registered owned gets a nice letter with tickets to the ball

lol madaz many yrs ago i got pulled over and the copper said do you know why i pulled you over ? i said to give me tickets to the policemans ball ..... he replied your getting a ticket alright son but you wont be dancing lol

seemed funny at the time tho

It seems the imports are the flavour of the month! Guess they've given up on shutting down the bikies, so now we're next on the hit list :D

A few years ago it was Harley's that were too loud! Before that they picked on the V8 boys! Before that they picked on horses with noisy shoes :(

After talking with a mate who happens to be a cop, even he said its crap! He said they need to pick up the smoke blowing rust buckets with bald tyres, not us import drivers who in most cases modify our cars to improve them and modify them more safely than the commonwhore or falcoon drivers!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
