Ah f*ck it, all governments are about revenue raising. At least NSW will be marking the mobile speed cameras. So if anyone gets done for speeding (if these changes are ever made) they deserve it. :thumbsup:

+1 :) Exactly right. Anyone getting done by any speed cameras has no excuse anyway, especially fixed ones.

Wonder if they'll extend this to HWP sitting in bushes?

Seen that already in QLD :) on the Pacific Motorway they'll hide between open spaces in bushes/trees separating the two directions of the motorway. They park nose in towards the road at night. If you're smart enough you spot them from far, but this gives them advantage to quickly close in even if the speeding driver hasn't noticed. HWP also hide out behind bushes on the long down stretch coming from Mt Cootha Lookout heading back towards the city catching spirited drivers. Won't be long NSW will start following suit I reckon.

* Pacific Hwy 6km south of Pt Macquarie.

They do this all the way up to Sydney anyway. While it does kinda get the people who speed, it'd still be better having an actual police presence out on the road. Ah well; ours is not to wonder why... apparently.

cant wait for this to take effect, I know they get my vote

hate the bastards but whats the alternative?

agree re points seem to be removed for the wrong offences, should def be increased for not indicating, clapped out cars and my big hate, hogging the overtaking lane doing ten under..

oh and Rawgr, sign me up as your first courier. I used to be a government bus driver (until i didnt have enough points) and we always complained about having the same points as everyone else (bus drivers are REALLY good at complaining though).

Still i will be pretty suprised if this gets through while the daily telegraph, police union and harold scruby (pedestrian council) are still dictating the headlines..

Harold Scruby is an effing peanut.

If it were up to him, he'd have it enshrined in law that anyone owning a motor vehicle must push their cars everywhere whilst being set on fire.

Then he'd be on telly, frothing at the mouth about how drivers pushing cars whilst on fire were a threat to pedestrian safety, and should be banned. Or set on fire. Or both.

Chairman of the pedestrian council my arse.

What government department elected him? No one.

When are the elections? Never.

Who does he answer to? No one.

He's the self appointed king of f##k all, and people listen to his mad ramblings, like he's some kind of expert.

Yet people with sensible ideas are routinely ignored and undermined because it doesn't fit with the current misguided thinking.

Sorry about that, don't know what came over me. I'm off to have a bex, and a lie down...

I hear he is an expert on parents running over their own children in their 4WDs.

Too far? :P

Thanks man!

Desire to strangle Scruby ebbing away, much better. Lol!

dont worry man i understand totally, every time i read a quote from him in the daily toilet paper or worse, see him on ACA my blood boils. making him an arbiter of road safety would be like putting bruce ruxton in charge of immigration..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.

      So I ran into the same problem. I got stuck in the cycle of again of putting putty sanding it, putting putty sanding it, because of a low spot. And notice my block is not completely flat with the panel, even though it's a long block. My panel is slightly curved. Is this an issue? Do I need something that matches the door perfectly, or no?    I do have the smaller flexible block that covers the width of the repair just not the length, I was experimenting with it again to but seems to be the same issue
