"Police said the driver will have to pay almost $1000 in fines and fees for collecting his car from the impounding yard."

I don't think he'll be overly concerned about the $1000 considering he owns a car that costs hundreds of thousands.

No kidding. My girlfriend's father owns a Maserati and he says he could take the family on a holiday for the same price it costs to replace the tyres (at the Maserti dealership)!

I impounded a Lamborghini murcielago on Christmas eve so he ended up losing it for 6 days. Was his dad's car too. Shouldn't drive at 150++ in 80 Zone

Don't think I would want to be at that familys christmas dinner :)

150kmh in a supercar in an 80kmh zone isn't a very good idea, as was shown when that guy killed himself and a girl out at Seville in a Ferrari a couple of years ago.

mine too!

although Zagame let him borrow cars to test for the weekend, and let him store his there when he goes away on business etc.. i guess that makes up for the rip off p zero rossos!

the fine should replicate the car, like basic speeding fine sure not going to argue, but if you impound granny driven 120y, and they want a grand to release it, would you pay ? it should be more like 5% of car's current estimated value.

but thats not going to slow people down or him, the only thing that can slow people down on the road is severe penalties and huge threats. But then innocent people will get screwed over, yes speeding is a infringement/CRIME but its so easy to do in certain circumstance's, and im excluded sports cars, high powered, anything turbo in this comment. its just way to easy to do 5kmh by accident, the difference is, only so many people get pulled over for it.

the whole safety vs deaths is bullshit, thousands of more cars every day are on the streets, which ARNT getting upgraded at the same pace, over population should mean statistics will always go up, while pen pushing GOV types are saying they will make a difference and reduce road tolls with new laws.

the system doesn't work, just more band aids' on a stupid problem. Australian Police should be keeping people safe, actually respond to relivant 000 calls in a timely manner, and help the comunity, not just take their cash from road fines and say crime is down. Go stand outside any late night venue or nearest car park or still open resturant !

Surprised he didn't get done for it being too low

car is not allowed to be under 100mm unless it comes from the factory like that, thats how the exotics get away with it, they get adr approved while still being low

i agree with tapering of fines off to reflect the price of the car. i got my $200 bluebird impounded and they wanted $500 to give it back to me :D i just told them to keep it but that wasnt an option either :) talk about hard done by lol

Edited by VB-

he is an idiot, obviously deserving a heavy punishment to be speeding like that in a 50/60 zone...

And with regards to financial differences, fines being hi or low depending on your income. I think fines should be a percentage of the value of your car.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
