As the subject suggests, I hope everyone had a great new years eve !!

I had a great little encounter on New Years eve and I hope its a sign of things to come.

Anyway I was stopped by a "highway patrol" car (one of the new brightly painted Fords) on my way home after work in North Melbourne.

I thought here we go, they are going to bust me for being too loud or too low.

The cop asked me for my license and told me he was going to do a random breath test. While the cop checked my license his partner started walking around my car, and even crouched down to look underneath. At this point I thought he was going to start asking me what mods I have.

To my complete surprise he said "great car" he told me to take it easy and to have a safe new years eve.

I was totally shocked, my last few encounters with cops have been painfull.

Anyway just thought it would be nice to post about a pleasent encounter with the cops, and I hope we can all be this fortunate this year.

Cheers :P

ba denham! I got pulled over quite a few times in melb for various things (the most notable being the 3 days before I left) and in every instance (where i was driving!) they've let me go without incident. Once you get older the hassle gets smaller, you're not a "target" anymore for them..

I spent new years on broadbeach which was great. See the photo in my thread, that is basically where i spent NYE, drinking on the beach (which is fully legal, unlike police state VIC), and there were fireworks there. So yeah, good :P

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
