Was driving home last night from oakleigh, driving on princess highway at around 11 30pm or so i see a shit load of imports racing, drags were on so i decided to just follow and watch. Anyways i stayed for about an hour or so just watching until i decided to go home, on my way home i get pulled over by a cop in a motorbike, this is the first time ive been pulled over. Cop asks me if i did a U-turn back on princess highway, i said no im pretty sure i didnt. Goes back to hes bike for a good 10 mins and fines me $180 bucks no demerit for a U-turn i didnt do =s I was beginning to think the whole skyline cop bait thing was just a rumour =[ atleast i didnt cop any points so im not fussed that much lol.

You just keep telling yourself that...

You're going to pay a fine for something you didn't do?

[Mohsen]

yeh thats car life for ya.<br /> <br />fkn sucks would only ever buy someone else hard work if i got another import doing it yourself is a fools choice too expensive to many headaches.

<br /><br />Yeh I know what you mean, next import, ill just pay someone to modd it..

[Odium]

If you were there for an hour following and watching, then you would have done over a dozen uturns, definitely...

[bluejeans]

oh the tommy kaira 17 inch wheel thread brings back the lulz

[Gw2]

Yeah im just going to pay it cbf with the headaches of taking it to court.

I did do U-turns but i did them where i was allowed to. There were signs that said no U-turns 10pm-6am i went further down and did them where i was allowed to. There were heaps of other r33 silver skylines, maybe he got me confused with someone else? When he asked me if i did a u-turn i said no, he went back to hes radio and got more info.

Id be pissed if i lost points but i didnt so im happy lol.

Chances of winnings slim to none call it life's tuition fees don't hang around the drags and forget it

[L33SH]

except that its 101.5 here.

94.1 here

[Miguelone]

Bullshit chances are slim to none, I've contested 2 fines in the last couple of years. One of them went to court, they didn't show up and so it was overturned. The other I was actually in the wrong I sent it back saying I'd contest in in court and it was overturned just off that.

anyways, i filled my car up full tank with 100 octane, counted how much i got out of a full tank, i got 350 km with the needle being a few mm away from hitting the completely last bar, probably could of lasted until 375-400 but i didnt wanna risk running out of fuel lol. Im guessing my cars drinking alot more then it should? Any ideas on getting better fuel consumption? I was driving it soft changing gear around 3k rpm.

Most Aussie rap isn't about stuff like that, which is why many move to it from / prefer it to the American stuff, cause it's not just the same old "life was shit as a dealer and a killer, but look at me now, I got a contract and a Maybach, later haters".

That being said, even when the lyrics are "woe is me", you don't have to be black and growing up in Detroit/Brooklyn/Crenshaw to have a hard upbringing. Plenty of abusive families, violence and homeless people in Australia!

How many litres did you fill it up with? I'm guessing around 50 litres, in which case that's pretty normal economy for a Skyline. And if it hasn't been done, changing the oxygen sensor can help your fuel economy. But I wouldn't be bother if you net around 400km from 50 litres.

A light will come on when the needle is near the E and you'll still have 20km or so left. It's a 60 litre tank.

I dont hate aussie hip hop based off the life... I hate it cos it SOUNDS shit.

every group just sounds like the hilltops no matter how much the fans try to say it doesn't... and since the hilltops sound like an audio track of 2 men open mouth kissing.. that pretty much rules out aussie hip hop for me.

Yeah not of a fan it sounds like arse either way.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

not to mention the pathetic scumbag bogan culture that goes with aussie hiphop...

[Birds]

Fair enough if you don't like the sound/accent/production. That was an acquired taste for me, but it helped that I was relatively bored of US hip hop by then...even the less mainstream acts like Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, old Lupe Fiasco etc. Aussie has a backyard relatable quality to it that you can't find in rap from another country; also helps if you mix with people who like it too.

It might sound or look silly, but in the same light, so does an Aussie kid in his car, rapping along to a 50 cent song about American landmarks etc.!
