lol. I bet "speed was a factor" like in 99% of other times they trot that rubbish out.

I'd like to see an accident where speed was not a factor....ie 2 stationary cars colliding

Footnote:- ^^^ Spokesman says that Mrs Scipione "was in his car". Now she wouldn't have been in the other car would she?

Footnote:- If it was a police vehicle he was driving, GIO would pay for his 'Excess' - and he would get an immediate replacement car (like Dirty Harry does). Shucks... Now if I was Police Commissioner...

Interesting.....it is described in the article as:

"It is understood Mr Scipione had just pulled up at a stop sign on Belmore Rd and turned right across the path of the couple's car."

Now I may be out of date, but I thought police are called at any accident where there is estimated over $500 damage, or a personal injury. And that in each case at least one of the drivers would be charged with neg driving. This has certainly been the case in 2 accidents where I was charged with Neg Driving (imagine trying to disprove *that* charge in court when it is not defined anywhere on the NSW police or rta websites.

Police are called whenever someone is injured (taken to hospital) or a car is towed.

"Drive away" accidents are not attended.

then usually a neg driving charge is given at the very least as they "must find someone at fault" if called to an accident, for insurance purposes. Their way of finding someone at fault is by blame/neg driving charge

I think they say in the article that he is getting a traffic ticket, which would suggest a neg driving ticket/charge?, but then this............

It is understood the incident is not likely to be considered serious enough for charges and penalty is likely to be a traffic ticket.

As far as I understand, if the police attend a charge "must" be laid...

And he put two people in hospital! He should definitely get a neg driving!

Yep! DONE!

He's just lost 3 pts for not giving way at a 'Give Way' sign. Also he's been fined $253.

He's admitted that he was at fault. But ironically, his insurance company is not happy with him doing that!

Interestingly, this is not the first time he's been an 'At Fault' driver in an accident. He said to the journalist,

"What I don't really want to do, is go back into my driving record." Hmmm...

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around

      I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
