Just wondering how offten you guys get pulled over.

I've had my 32 4 door for 6 week's now and have yet to have a cop follow me or pull me over. btw ive relised i got a head light out.

e.g such as

driving down road cop is on side road turning to same flow as trafic as me. would clearly see i have head light out but pulls out in front of me.

they see me turn on to same road as them dont bother slowing down, or if they have come up from behind they dont pull in behind me.

i thought i would have being pulled over or followed at least once so far.

I used to get pulled over and drugs tested without fail every time I drove my car at night, but that's largely stopped now.

Had a friend who lasted 8 hours after buying his dead stock 33 before he got the disco lights treatment.

Often Dean, with my hypnotherapy clients, I offer them the chance to record the session and use it as an affirmation at bedtime.

Mostly these days, the clients bring an iPhone, or some phone with at least 20mins recording time.

One guy recently brought in a cassette (since I have a recorder in each clinic - from way back when...)

When he brought it home, he said to his wife, "I don't know why I even bothered taping this. We don't have a tape player any more!"

Wife: "Yes we do. Would you like to know where it is?"

Husband: "Are you sure? We sold off all our junk at the last garage sale!"

Wife: "I know exactly where it is. Would you like me to tell you?" (goading him)

Husband: "No, no, I'll find it - I'll find it." (rummaging through 2x rooms upstairs)

Husband: (after coming back down) "I told you: it's gone out with the rubbish!!!"

Wife: "Uh, Uh... can I tell you now?" (needling him)

Husband: (rummages through 1 more room - then comes back down) "OK where the farkin' hell is it?" (yelling)

Wife: "Why not check your old BMW that you're restoring?"

Husband: thinks "Duh"

:P

your not giving your car enough gas around town and keeping under the speed limit too often.

my theory is either people call in with your plates or off duty police see the way some of these people drive then get them at a later date.

unless it's suspected of being far from standard or a defective vehicle whats the point.

It's not what you drive it's how you drive it.

I have owned a clearly modified black R32 and have been pulled into RBTs, pulled over 2 or 3 times and have never in my life recieved a defect. I got a ticket for a red light that I failed to beat once, but he was more than courteous and I definitely deserved the ticket. Don't be a dick and for the most part you will be fine. Remember that giving you hell is just making more work for the police officer.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
