Cops get OWNED on Springvale Road Last Night!!!


Recommended Posts

Last night I was driving to the weekly exclusive meet, and as Im heading there along Springvale road, I notice a lot of cop lights flashing up ahead, so my first thought is booze bus/defect station. As I approach it, it turns out that all traffice is being diverted off Springvale road. So then I get to the exclusive meet, and the guys tell me a divvy van had a smash with an X5. At this stage, its hard to say who was at fault, but Im betting that the cop was.

Here are the pics:

if a member of police is found at fault they are charged the same as a normal citizen, their driving priviledges on the force are reduced and also they have to attend a course of safe driving organised by the police acadamey. He also gets reams as to why he got himself in that situation in the first place.

You guys are the biggest bunch of cop bashers around, you don't even know if it was his/her fault.

what he wasn't a TMU or a traffic police, what if he had been rushing to the scene of domestic violence to stop an drunken husband beating his wife. What if the copper was fatally wounded in that accident and left a family with kids without a dad.

At the end of the day that person is still a human being, and deserves some respect for that, don't judge a person by their career choice. If it wasn't a cop you wouldn't be cheering that he wrote the car off.

And I don't see you being overly concerned for the other driver in the accident.

yeah i guess, but they were celebs n shit... like if tomorrow a huge metal pipe fell on denham's head while at work (a la simpsons style) you wouldn't hear me cheering about it.

Then again it is a tad amusing... the cop car being peeled up... and metal pipes falling on denham's head.

PHYSCO style?

I need a shower curtain and a can or red paint to reinact homer on that one.

isnt it like obvious the Cop is at fault

whoever drives into the side of the car is at fault, coz its not as if the other car can drive horizontally into the front of the other car..

^^if im wrong.. feel free to correct me

It looks pretty much RHS cop into LHS X5 or vice versa, which maybe spun the back around a little to hit the back a little. Could be either sides fault. .anyhow, again - we don' t know the full circumstances so stupid to comment too much.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
