Just got pulled over not 15 mins ago passing through CBD area.. Cop was a pretty nice bloke, popped my hood and saw the BOV and decided not to give me an EPA fine. Gave me $292 unroadworthy fine which is better than $500 fine + EPA inspection I guess. He also told me their doing a blitz tonight in the city so be careful if any of you guys are heading out tonight.

saw an impressive thing tonight. was waiting to turn onto flinders from swanston and heard shouting. in the time it took me to look, spot the fight, see blood and go "damn", there was an unmarked ford screeching to a halt with the rednblues going and two officers jumping in. very quick response indeed and my appreciation for the cops has increased from its recent low

LMAO Massa will be disappointed as he has been campaigning against unsafe driving ;)

Guess it drops a small bomb on the theory that if hoons tried legal racing they'd keep it off the street - if an F1 driver can't hold back in a Benz :)

Got a good chuckle out of the Hamilton news story. Nice to see they didn't let him go and treated him like anyone else. Is it possible they're blitzing due to the death of the owner of La Porchetta, or is it just because the GP is on and they expect a lot of hoon behaviour?

Reminds me of the time Valentino Rossi was caught at over 200kph on his way to Philip Island a few years ago.

its an election year gotta start getting money to cover all their ridiculous promises..be lots of blitzing

Don't think they give other hoon drivers a police escort home to protect their identity..

My dad was given a lift home by the police after being done at a booze bus 3 years ago. He asked nicely, they said yes and sent him home in the pursuit car. He was friendly and co-operative and they treated him in the same manner.

Don't have to drive anyone home. If they have been good to deal with and it's fairly local I will drive them home. I will always let them call friend to collect them or taxi for them. If they have been pain in the ass and heavily intoxicated I have then locked them up for drunk after dealing with the driving matters.

The city on weekends fri/sat night and public holidays have 50-100 extra members working safe streets (overtime shift) Double time to do pretty much stuff all. It's all stats driven the more arrests, fines, nou, epa etc means you will get more shifts in there earning big money. There is NO warnings for that reason as a warning isn't going to help you get another shift in there earning big money walking around the city.

I love the way your posts make yourself out the be the 'knight in shining armour' Police Officer. I'd be willing to put money on it that you don't do half the things you claim you do, just like the rest of your 'esteemed' colleagues. :O

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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
