Hi people,

probably I am posting to the wrong section, but original thread is already closed and I am not sure what is the best section to post.

Anyway, as some of you may be aware, that cruise attracted some attention not only from fellow car enthusiast, but also from our friends in blue uniform. As a result, few peaces of paper have reached my desk and now I am in a position where I need to ask for help.

So guys, if you went on that cruise and prepare to either write a short statement (not a saga, and I will let you know what needs to be said) or do even more and spend couple of hours of your time further down the track - you help will be HIGHLY appreciated. I am not asking you do to something illegal or wrong, I am asking you to say what we believe was right. At this stage I am just asking if you are prepared to help, my lawyer will provide me with more details.

I am not in a position to release too much info here, as it is a public forum, but I believe that we need to stand up and do something to protect ourselves from "mistakes" done by people in uniform driving driving cars with blue and red lights and following our cruises. Well, at least I am going to stand up and asking you to help me.

Please, guys.

PM me for more details. Would be good if you also provide your email or phone number.

Thank you or help in advance.

errr don't you think that telling someone what to say in a statement is illegal?

oh and a warning for anyone else thinking of helping this joker: making a false statement is a serious offence. You either saw what this bloke is talking about or you didn't.

No I don't think so. If people saw something - they can say that. If they didn't see something - they can say it also. They can describe the facts. Since then asking people to confirm what they saw (or didnt see) is illegal? I am afraid you are missing the point.

oh and a warning for anyone else thinking of helping this joker: making a false statement is a serious offence. You either saw what this bloke is talking about or you didn't.

It's exactly what I meant.

If someone is willing to help - I will appreciate that, I will let them know what I need, if people are able to confirm or deny something, they will tell me. If for some reason they are unable to do so, at least I will thank them for their time , efforts and willingness to help.

Let me repeat - I am not going to ask people to do anything illegal. I am not going to ask people to make a false statement.

And thank you very much for your help and clarification of the matter, IEatPelicans. Any way, it looks like you don't need to worry, I have not received any PMs from fellow members, therefore your warning, while useful and truthful, is only theoretical and our flawless law and legal system are not under any threat from SAUWA people.... And I still hope that someone, who can help me, will turn up.

Guys,

I need to speak to people who were in the group of about 20-30 cars (including at least one ute) who went through Kalamunda, made 360 degrees turn on roundabout there, followed Mundaring weir, stopped there before taking sharp left turn (road was going downhill I believe).

Thank you in advance.

I was on that cruise and am more then willing to help however i will keep everything i say on a public forum not in private, i understand you have a lawyer and are obviously fighting for something which is good. However you are not giving any details and want people to speak up well if you already have a lawyer then so should anyone else before talking to you. If you are willing to PM me all the details you have i am more then happy to respond, as keeping this quiet/private to me seems as though you need to push the blame for something otherwise you would not have a lawyer already, and he is asking you to get more details/witnesses which means there must not be a strong case...

If you keen to send me detials then i am more then happy to give you any info i have in my head :thumbsup:

Well, I am not going to "push the blame" and sometimes it is a good idea to get a legal advice before taking any actions. especially that the other party involved will be wearing a blue uniform :thumbsup:)

Will send a PM shortly, and thank you for contacting me.

Nismogtt rethink making something public that the prosecutor can use in court. The whole idea about court is to keep certain things a 'secret' from the other party. Don't put all the cards on the table so to speak...

And - forget this joker if what he is about to do could jeopardise your case.

I think Dale was on that cruise, have you msg'd him??

Erm that only applies in the U.S.

In an Australian Court, all evidence must be made available to both the prosecution and the defence, before the court date.

Out of court settlements would be easier & possibly more common that way, as to not potentially waste time & money

It sure would be; my understanding is - please feel free to correct me if I am wrong - that unfortunately I'd have to prepare my case (evidences, etc) in order to negotiate something with prosecutor, otherwise they might not be interested. They have nothing to loose personally anyway - they are getting paid, all expenses are paid, etc.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
