Today I was driving along past Perry Lakes and turned onto Oceanic Drive.

As I entered Oceanic I booted it (I usually do and then slow quickly to go right towards my girlfriends house). Anyway today I felt like a bit more of a drive so I continued up Oceanic.

I saw a speed camera on the left hand side of the road ... and so braked and dropped it down a gear. By the time I was going past the speed camera I was doing maybe 60-65kph, but the guy ****an turned the flashlight at me and it flashed.

I did a u-turn up the road, and came back and yelled at him (just called him a wanker ... prolly shouldnt but it was spur of the moment), and then he yelled back at me "you just lost your licence"

I was like wtf but didn't bother going back.

I can't lose my licence can I?

Even if he saw me boot it?

hahahah his craft ;)

yeah I was in a good mind to stop, but then I thought he'd probably call the cops and tell them I was harrassing him ;)

oh well as long as I don't lose my licence I don't care!

I shouldn't get anything more than a $50 fine ;)

shit on a stick. i saw that camera there on the way to work.

u shouldnt have verbally abused him though. it should have done more civally. this is what i would have done...

1) go to woolies servo on the boulavard. fill petrol canister.

2) go to speed camera van and produce big wad of tape.

3) wrap tape around car so the doors and rear of van cant open.

4) get petrol and pour over car.

5) get lighter and light the thing on fire

6) run for your life and start laughing as the camera operator burns to death.

i think you will find speed camera operators are now classed as public officers --means as i am one also (not for speed cameras but) that abusing one is the same as abusing the police so my suggestion cop it on the chin and fight it in court but the person on the camera is just doing there job if he turned the thing which i doubt becuase they are a bastard to set up (seen them do it) then u have a defence

ahhh, reminds me of the time I got flashed by a speed camera at night... the infamous red flash...

The operator was standing like 8metres behind it holding a radar gun and what looked like calibrating the device.

It flashed at me...

no ticket ever made it to my letterbox... and i was PLUS 20+ over :(

SCORE!

This seems like an appropriate thread to tell you about me little escapade no more than 3 months ago.

Those of you familiar with the Joondalup are should know where the woolworths petrol station is at currambine.

Well just after i finished the gym on the Opposite side of the road from the petrol station i could see a multinova with the guy standing right next to it, being the little shite i am and rubbing it in i went past at 30kmh all of a sudden FLASH!!! WHAT THE F*CK i thought. so i stopped 10 metres in front of him and slammed my door shut then approached him. I promise you i wasn't going to hit him but he moved really quickly towards his car, and hand on the door so he could hide in the van! i must admit as i hopped out my car i did say I WASN'T SPEEDING!! anyway while he was quivering on his van i said it again and he said "Oh yeah it is international tests we have to do now every so often" BULLSHIT i said and walked off! Half of me felt good for standing up for the public the other half made me feel like a bully coz he was sh*tting himself!??

Anyone else ever heard of these random annoying flash tests? If not then he deserved to sh*t himself!

Yeah Dan i've seen them do the tests on me and i've never been sent tickets... Its just a calibration test to make sure everything is setup correctly...

But this one time at band camp... Sorry couldn't resist... :( It was about June this year and pissing down with rain and i was fanging it along Roe Hwy coz i was late for a movie (doin 145 in 100 zone), it was pitch black and pissing down with rain then all of a sudden there was the imfamous flash and DAMN stoopid speed camera, but i have still yet to receive the ticket... Damn i was lucky with that one...

Ouch!! Loss of license or reckless drving for that one..... maybe they are still getting the paperwork ready and has to pass through parliament being at such a high speed??? ahahah!!!:(

Noramlly takes 4 weeks at the max for camera fines to come through mail i guess.....

All i have to say about the tests is... 'THEY SUCK!'

I got done couple of years ago and viewed the photo as I knew there would be two cars in the photo as it was on the freeway.

Yes there was me and another car in the photo but he said it was trained on the car in the middle of the photo (me).

Sly bugger initially showed me a photo of my car only until I made him pan it out.

Asked for a 8"x10" glossy as it was a nice pic but he had no sence of humour the :whackit:

hahaha

I have no time for them.

They chose the job so they can take the flack.

I don't feel bad for calling him a wanker, I'm just wondering if he can say something to someone that'll make me get in shit for speeding.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
