And so the story goes like this.

This afternoon, I was at Kingsway, Glen Waverly, wanting to get some pork. While i was looking for a parking lot, my girlfriend suddenly felt pukish. So i just put on my hazard lights and ran into the shop to get a bag for her. When i came out, the girlfriend showed me the infringement notice.

It says STOPPED - DOUBLE PARK

And i have to pay $70.

Do i contest it? Or should i just pay the fine. The money doesn't matter so much, but i was gone for like, 20 seconds.

Yeah, you did something wrong so you technically would need to pay. But I personally would write a letter explaining the situation, and see if they show and leniency. Most likely you will need to pay.

Why did your girlfriend not talk to the parking officer? Was she even visible or was she like in the bushes chucking?

if you couldnt talk to the parking dude at the time, i wouldnt bother about it, fines been written and done, $70 is like a full tank, but not really worth the worry and bullshit you have to go through to cancel it.

or you could exaggerate the situation, saying you miss's was curled up on the front seat with bad pains, so you did what any boyfriend would do, and that asshole inspector didn't even care to see if she was alright while you were gone for all of 1min max.

give it a crack either way, the worst that can happen is that you pay your $70 :P

Common sense would have gone a long way here, if any one in my car says they feel like spewing they get kicked the f**k out, do you know how hard it is to get the smell of spew out of your car, not to mention how violated the car will feel, you have betrayed its trust, it will for ever hate you.

i always thought double parking was something similar to those tools you see just stopping in a lane, jumping out to buy ciggs and jumping back in. they are double tools when you want to reverse out and they're blocking ya. just pay the fine and be weary next time. did she ever throw up in the end? :P

Yeah she did, in that plastic bag i for her.

Well, all i did was stop behind 2 full lots, but i now know you can't do it here.

Alright, i'm too lazy to go contest it anyway, i heard its a super long process. Will just pay the fine i reckon.

You're lucky it wasn't the "Loading Zone" around the corner in Colemen Pde near the station. $117 fine for a 10 second stop - I always thought it was a "drop off" area since there's nowhere else to stop on that side of the road - unless you're a taxi. (I'm an unofficial taxi but that doesn't count.)

And today when i tried to pay the fine, it says that the infringement number was not found.

How long do they take to update the system anyway? Its been 4 days, or 2 working days. Do they really need to take that long? I thought it was all seamless.

I think its pretty much instant, at the most it would be in there when they get back to the office.

Yeah I got some $70 odd fine for parking my car over night around the corner from the pub in a two hour zone. The only sign was about ten metres away with an arrow pointing along the wall. I did the right thing and didn't drive and I get fined for it :D Just payed up though. could not be bothered with the whole lengthy proses of contesting

If you follow the instructions at the back of the ticket, it should be right. Make sure you went to the correct site to pay for your fine. If not, just call them up and pay with your credit card through the phone.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
