I believe "driving on the road" was likely to be another reason the residents would have given. Got a warning to check my rears about 10 mins outside of the final meet spot.

Its a charity cruise, and they start defecting. Oh there will be a letter in the paper about this one!

Every single old bat that I drove past through the hills just looked and stared in shock and horror as I drove by in my totally stock standard quiet car... had a good lol everytime, received honks and mid fingers from oncoming traffic aswell.

Stopped dead in the middle of the road at this one straight section because a pair of emus decided to walk slowly across, I stopped and honked and one of them turned and poked its head forward as if it was about to run at me to attack ;)

reckless driving as in burnouts/ loud take offs ?

Or the other reckless driving as in doing a fart , driving over 2300rpms, starting up your car, etc etc ? grandma spec reckless driving >?

anyone witness it ?

i can vouch, douchebags stopping to rip skids up the corkscrew, had a rexy all over both lanes in front of me for half the cruise. that s15 with the vault chromies lunched it, straight into a guard rail.

parked at the bp at the finish meet point, got word of cops from scandy and heslo so left from there. then sorta ended up next to heslo, a dark blue 33 and a lighter blue 33 cruising back towards ttp way, all sticker free i think.

you know why

because ive heard in a number of media reports lately the words "hoon" and "car enthusiast" get merged into one group statement

so we're now "hoon car enthusiasts"

thanks media mike, ya f**khead

did u escape sticker free?

My car got looked over and got cleared, bastard stopped me as I was tryin to leave, he went all through inside car, glove box ,centre console . Are they alowed to go through inside of car, or they need a warrent?

125 reports from hills residence!!

Im not suprised, one of the S13 drift cars i was behind for a bit was drifting like he was at lala. Also spotted an old dude filming people going up corkscrew with his camera, then just after corkscrew everyone decided to pull over for a burnout show, few cars infront of me stop and i almost rear ended them and then i had cars doing skids right next to my car in the oncoming lane while i was stuck behind people ;)

Well as with most cruise, there were the boro spec and track spec cars. The cop i was talking to was more annoyed that the organiser was no where to be found. I know Wayne and his mate had some guy actually block the road with his car in Montacute just after the Corkscrew! Now there is reckless endangerment!

If they have suspecion Nick they can

Reckless driving, excessive noise, driving without due care, you name it

I think that the cops are full of shit. The cruise would have been lucky to pass 125 people and the chance of every one of them picking up the phone and calling the cops is very unlikely. they would have received 20 calls max if they received any.

Remember the cops were notified of the cruise because it was an official cruise and they would have decided long ago that they were going to "have a strong presence", so regardless of what happened people were going to get defected.

But Old Mark cant be everywhere at once, although we tried to keep the guy there..he did start getting quite pedantic "wheres the organiser of this cruise?" "can you guess why we are here?"

Kinda makes you second guess wether you come out to these cruises anymore. After doing nothing wrong, you still get a giant target painted to your car.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
