cant be licence checks coz i got waived passed..and my car is under my name (suspended licence)...not driving though...but still should have got pulled over if that was the case....but yes it was very wierd...first time happened here in the last 7 yrs...coz i live near there i noe..worst they had there was a booze bus..tht was also only 3 times in the last 7 yrs...

also there were TONS!!! of cop cars driving around in the back streets too...something must be up...

They've been doing it in Springvale and Dandenong of late too... ...they might have just waived you past because they had way too many people... ...I got pulled over because they were having a quiet day and they just did an RBT on me...

OHH!!! sorry...ya cass is right...they were checking if the cars were roadworthy or not....they pulled everyone to this little car park and filled it up with cars they think were not eligible to be on the roads....also the number of cops driving around in the back street was just insane...every street i was driving in, they were there...come in undercover cars, some in divivan and some in the ford territories...something must have happened for this to take place...but hvnt heard or read anything about something in the area...anyone knows why they did this?

once again purely a display for the public, some one dies due to illegal street racing, police blame modified car owners, public outrage that police didnt do something to stop it, police do something for a few days to show a presence and reassure dumb arse public who believe it, police go back to normal duties.

Off topic, anyone see the street drags on Princess Highway from North road outbound from the city on Saturday night around 2am?

Mate of mine busted over Sunday morning, said they were using all 4 lanes, people filming cars running quarters.

Said the street was smoking from the launches!

Didn't think it went down like that anymore.

You would think they would learn.

vic roads and cops were doing a blitz on the freeway (dont know the exact name lol) in between ballarto road and hall road this arvo, they must be bored.

yeah the Westernport i went through but didnt get picked on, but there was about 10 cars there and the van with a camera at the roundabout. I also seen them on the dandy bypass, boundary rd mordy and eastlink last week before that accident even happened..Not sure whats got there knickers in a knot but Its a blitz alright..

On a side note seen a sticker on back window of a car today

"VICTORIA - THE NANNY STATE"

and another had the word 'FINED' written next to his number plate..

I like them both.. :thumbsup:

I think there has been a massive increase in drags along Princess Highway on Fri/Sat nights. We are always getting jobs for it and I know there has been large number of impounds along there.

Fair enough thats nothing new, but what has that got to do with pulling up every person they can, that is just going about their daily commute?

    • 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
