Burns, midnight is correct. The plate and id on the bonnet cannot be seen so if you remeber the time you took those pictures you might be able to find out who was petrolling that area at that time, it could come in handy so try to remember it! (Be specific when stating those things, time/date/area). Good luck mate! =D

That may be true, but look again - there is an independent witness who could possibly verify the rego or police vehicle ID number and hence solidify the ID of the person driving the police vehicle. Also, DO NOT show the police the pic at all. Wait til you have asked him the question and got him to state that he has never crossed the centre line, and then spring the picture on him in court. The judge will have little choice but to dismiss the case based on the police officer's lack of credibility (basically, lying).

Go for it and good luck.

hahahahahaha, as always.... there is a something that can be referenced from the Simpsons

if i may bring everyones attention to exhibit A: Lionel Hutz

"Hutz: Now Mr. Nahasapeemapetilon, if that is your real name.

Have you ever forgotten anything?

Apu: No. In fact I can recite pi to 40,000 places.

And the last digit is 1.

Homer: Mmm... pie.

Hutz: Well if you never forget anything. Tell me this. What color

tie am I wearing? (turns around)

Apu: You are wearing a red and white club tie in a half-windsor knot.

Hutz: Oh, I am, am I? Is that what you think? Well if that's what

you think, I have something to tell you [ugh]. Something which may

shock and discredit you [ugh]. And that thing is as follows

(as he finally undoes the whole tie). I'm not wearing a tie at all.

[jury gasps]

Apu: If I am wrong about that. Maybe I am wrong about Mrs. Simpson.

Hutz: No further questions.

[Hutz raises his arm and the tie is sticking out of his sleeve]

"

Thanks for the some times useful replies.

I will only be using the unedited photos straight out of the camera. I was actually looking for a for CSI style digital enhancement to be able to read the numberplate, car id or see the driver. But the other work is most entertaining.

The random farmer is my old man so not really an independent whiteness. He now has a gut ake from laughing at the incriminating photos.

I will take the how can it be justified that I get fined for it when a cop car dose it too. It must be safe. I also have a few other strong arguments and can get written statements from a few people stating that the nature of the corner dictates that it is natural and safer to straiten the corner.

The tyres are on wheels I borrowed to put on the car for a few weeks while I was waiting for my new wheels to arrive. My stock 16 where getting close to unroadworthy and I didn’t want to lash out for tyres to put on them when I was getting new 17’ in a few weeks.

well if you are relying on "but the cop did it" to get off .. it's not worth pursuing.

It's like saying "well that minister went and robbed a bank, therefore I can too " ..

The excuse "but somebody else was doing it" kind of means nothing in court dude..

Again, just because "it was safe" won't get you anywhere as well, as you broke a listed road rule.. I could say I was going 10km/hr over the limit because it was dry and nobody around - again that's not going to get you off anything when it comes to these things

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
