Doesn't one country have card board type cutouts on the side of the road to remember those lost due to motor vehicle accidents in the actual spots? full life sized and kids sized cutouts?

That would be kinda creepy. You're driving in the middle of the night on a deserted rural road and then suddenly you see this group of shiny people next to you. Would probably freak the shit out of me and cause an accident. But then again, I've watched too many zombie movies...

yes, how is it more distracting then

WANT LONGER LASTING SEX written is size 400 font.

you gotta have a need for longer lasting sex for that sign to be a distration.

just sayin.

:thumbsup:

i think some people really need to exercise some common sense on both sides of the coin. I think its fine to put a memorial up as long as the people putting up flowers etc. dont do so covering vital signage however people need to take responsibility for their own actions - there are SO many more distractions when driving compared to a memorial that you may/may not see such as radios in cars, signs, billboards etc... if you ban memorials, where do you stop?

people need to stop turning Victoria in to a nanny state, harden up and exercise some common sense and take some responsibility!

I almost ran up the back of a car looking at a Jenifer Hawkins billboard once hehehe! It's no different to billboards on the Tulla freeway though I often wonder how the expect drivers to look at them when they should be looking at the road doing 100k's an hour....go figure. I think as long as they don't block line of sight or signs or there isn't a bunch of cars pulled over etc it's ok.

It's a bit like those TAC signs on the side of the Freeways that say "don't take your eyes off the road" and "feeling tired?" etc.

Well after reading that sign, I kind of do. YAWN.

I want longer lasting sex...my girl can't keep up :)

peak hour traffic, when it moves at about... well I could get out and walk faster.

I so no its just litter and like we need any more of that on the side of the roads. We do have cemeteries and pretty much most of the time when your dead thats where you end up, so thats where they should go to pay respect to lost mates/loved ones. Standing on the side of the road with slack jawed yokels cruising past doesnt seem like its the most respectful way to remember someone.

i dont find them distracting, should we make it illegal for a bikini clad woman to walk down the street for the same reasons?

however, is it a bit strange that people choose the location of someones demise to remember them?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
