$100 for a parking fine rip off


At my old trade school the parking fines werent enforced by the council so if u didnt pay nothing would happen and if u kicked up a stink theyd just say dont worry about it [emoji23]

And the fact that the only person you're inconveniencing is poor Alicia who works behind the desk. She's actually got a face, unlike the faceless organisation you're trying to annoy.

Hate council fines.

Last one I got was for parking at Mordialloc Pier, going to the meter to pay and it saying Out of Order. Took a photo of it, went to the beach for 45 minutes, came back to a ticket on my car (and 3/4 of the dozen cars parked near me).

Rang them up the next day to contest it, saying that their meter was broken and all I got back was "We don't have a record of your name reporting the meter fault yesterday between 5:00 and 6:00pm". Was given an email address to contest the fine, response I got from my email was that I could take it to court if I wanted. Which they know is not viable to do over an $80 fine, they just deliberately make it hard to contest even if they know they're in the wrong, because its easier to just pay it... Congratulations dodgy parking inspector, even if 3 or 4 people do successfully contest it, they've still for $500 in fines for the afternoons work.

 

TL;DR:  Leigh, put a hundred dollars worth of coins into a sock and start swinging it. You'll get better results. Snap chat it for the lols.

Yeah but Alicia works for the council, so f**k Alicia. 

 

But yeah if your case that's pretty f**ked, I'm just annoyed because I was like 10 mins over or some shit, and the only reason for being there was for work visiting a customer. Should just add it to their bill lel

Question: if i was to pay a parking fine with my piggy bank, 100$ of coins can they refuse payment if i rock up to the councils office and pay in person? The reminder noticed stated that I can pay in person. Ric? 

Appealed it now, will see what they come back with if not they'll get some coins and a turd on their doorstep 

as already noted, they don't have to accept it

Yeah, there goes that idea :( 

I can still leave some eggs in my car and next time I see the guy ;) (possible, often there)

Birds, Moh and Borci all got GTR's.... odie, greg, johnno, pat all got skylines. only one evo around, and its pretty much for sale. 

Balance has been brought to VWL. now just need balance to return to oil prices.

 

Birds, use 88E profits to make your GTR look better (offsets arent the strongest, but dat dish. also a bargain for classic 5 spoke wheels. mental money for OZ or Koenings):

I may be talking shit but I think there is actually a parking fine defense for situations where you were working and got held up for reasons outside your control etc. if you can get a letter from the client. Falls in the same category as car broken down and unable to move it. I remember reading something about that long ago when I was contesting.

I always contest if there's the slightest loophole available. Stonnington of all councils let me off one because I looked like I had tried to do the right thing and pay for my parking (was a 15 minute max shopping zone and I thought it was the paid parking per hour zone).

Glen Waverley's council, Monash or whatever it is, absolute dream boats...a truck was blocking the only sign that said the whole 100 space carpark had a time limit to it, so I never saw it and they didn't accept this as an appeal to the fine. No other signage in the whole lot :(

Anyway, the point is, 88e prolly cost you more money than the parking fine.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
