Just because I have 3 points left! and 2 years till i get a few back!

... Don't think i'll be driving this w/e at all.... just to be safe.

I have got bloody 4 points left

:D

After i finished work in northbridge one night when i had my commodore i was going near the stop sign out the front of Rosie Ogrady's at 4am in the morning. I crawled through the stop sign sooo slow the pedestrian walked through it quicker than me... the cops didn't care though they wanted a complete stop....which i guess the sgin does say..... i think they were being a bit harsh on me though when they gave me a $250 fine and 3 points!!!

Other points lost for doing 110kmh on the freeway....gets me every bloody time!!

And yourselves? and cops given you hard times and over done fines?

The last 2 days the 6PR have had talk-back about street cars and illegal racing.

The public have been making a ruckas about all the noise and the particular meeting points, while the police are giving their perspective and their strategy to combat it. Particularly operation canary, cb and RF radio intercepts and cracking down on cruising.

Its worth a listen.

Yeh the last little "incident" i had. Cost me like 11,000 (thank god for insurance) and then the cops decided to throw 3 points 150 in just to add insult to injury.:D

I understand the public being annoied at the level of noise at some re-group or meet points. There are some absolute tools out there who think that blasting their 130db sound system or revving their engine whilsts parked/stationary is cool.

What I do not agree with is cops cracking down on cruising. What gives them the right to target a group of rosd users who choose to drive together? What gives them the right to tell us where and when we can drive, afterall, who is it that pays for the roads and for govt. (Police - Transport Dept.) departments???

Sure, crack down on street racing, but for people that are crusing on public roads and not doing anything illegal...get stuffed.

:D

I agree with you HKS. But what the constable was saying was that people usually use the cruise to meet up with others and race during or after the cruise. I totally disagree with this.

Anyway, he went on to say that he knows that not everyone behind the wheel of a performance vehicle will be a problem on the roads, but the nature of the crackdown will be aimed at everyone. He said that it will be unfortunate for those who are innocent but they will keep a hardline on this. How unfair is that?

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
