Forgive my ignorance but how is drink driving whilst doing 200 clicks cool?

in south africa things are different to here,

i doubt he was drunk tho, 6 was just a dramtic exageration, maybe 1 or 2 is more like it.

but 200 is seen on most guys clocks almost everyday, even delivery trucks do 180+

Australia's traffic moves so slow, I remember on a holiday to Japan myself and 2 friends all crammed into a 300ZX at about 7pm to see the sites. On the highway we were doing around 180-200km/h and cars on the right lane were flying past us going at least 280-300km/h it was crazy.

It was 12 here in Australia this year... Are the laws ever likely to change to reduce the road toll Neil?

Well firstly WOW dem south africans are, well interesting, foolhardy maybe the right choice of words, YES WOW it is AMAZING you got that little beast of yours up to that speed, I cant say the same thing about my car, but you have to understand drink driving is considered a very big no no here in AU, and a lot of people do not like to endorse it, I am one of them, but it is all about culture, SA have a different culture, not that we should persecute this young guy for wanting to show off, just kindly inform him that us Aussies do not like endorsing that kind of behaviour, simple!

OMG :thumbsup:

simple answer

Never, Not a chance, NO

there is so much corruption there that u can buy your way out of anything,

you can buy passports, Id books even drivers licenses,

unroadworthy cars can buy roadworthy certificates without the road worthy place even seeing the car.

the new governament has no control over anything,

ppl will do anything for money

everybody and everything has a price

carte blanche (a magazine tv program) took a scrap, smashed fu(ked car, that had to be put on a trailer, no engine no wheels nothign just a shell and they got a road worthy certificate for it.

the country is heading to be like zimbabwe

thats why south africans who can afford to leave the country come to places like australia

:thumbsup:

I've seen Barina's (in front of me) shake as a truck zooms past them on the highway

No offense Eug, but you obviously have not seen Neil's old Barina, I reckon you or I would be hard pressed keeping up with it, until we hit a long straight :)

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
