its media.

they are there too win rating.

Same as a Gov't... anything they can do (ie hoon-laws and the like) to win votes is what they do.

Its not about fairness, its simply about winning/revenue/sponsorship in the short term.

nothing more.

Was this the show where the residents blocked the dead end street in the Gold Coast? Saw some of that but didnt see any liners.

BTW anyone else having problems with Channel 10 HD or is it my set top box (sorry to hijack!!)

Essentially the story was to draw attention to the new laws about vehicle impounding.

I don't think it's a bad thing - you get caught, you lose the car for 48hrs. No big deal - lesson learnt, don't do it again. 2nd time is for a month or so - still no huge deal... but by NOW you'd want to have learnt your lesson. 3rd time - it's gone for good. Why? Because you are stupid and have been warned. Twice.

It's not like they'll crunch that gold VL up into a cube either - it gets sold at auction, so you can buy it back if you really want to. Having stupid interviewees never help justify either side of the story.

Anyway - will see what comes of it.

Sad to see Addy cop 8-months though :cheers:

He's a really nice guy - but basically the pinup boy of the indo-drag scene.

Hopefully - he'll be a good boy now.

And my little tip - when doing burnouts with your mates in a public street to show off for the cameras... don't have the 'for sale' sign and your mobile number in the back window.

Yes - was not aimed at imports at all. Was their standard stock 'drag racing' footage - just happened to have 2 white 33 GTS-t's shown.

The impound laws are active in QLD, and are being used as an example in what is proposed for Vic. I don't think it will be a bad thing - providing it's not abused by the Police. We'll see what we''ll see though.

Personally though - I think the direction the 'real' news took with tougher penalties for hit-run incidents is certainly worth while. Not something I'd wish on anyone though - driver or victim :cheers:

Why should they have it here.

Knowing the way Vic Police already bend and abuse the powers they have now... they will surely do it even worse.

You know in WA, under thier laws... you can actually get done for accelerating too hard.

Now, please tell my why HSV need to make a 300kw monaro if the new laws come in?

You'll never ever need toouse that power. And if you do, thats instantly classed as unreasonable

It's just another slapping of the victimisation stick.

YES!.....Channel 10HD wont stop flickering! It's really annoying!

I saw the story on how the residents setting up a road clock with their cars. I think i saw a portion of the story with some guy in a Gold VL doing burnouts, and some dumbsh*t being interviewed.

Yes mine keeps flickering too, maybe I will hold off taking it back yet then! That was the only reason I was watching the sreet racing thing.

My STB was playing up on HD TEN (12) last night... kept getting blocks and stuff across the screen - only minor but still annoying, good to know its not my antenna/STB.

As for these anti-hoon rules, yeah fair enough if they aren't abused then it should be ok, but I'm just worried about (as ash said) if you accelerate too hard of the line, or overtake etc... its the cops judgement 'that was hooning' there's no black and white, like with speeding - your over or your not, red light? it was red or not... but this anti-hoon stuff - its at their discretion, that's a bit worrying. I think the younger guys (P platers) will be the ones targeted, so at least being a 'little' bit older it may help.

yeah, acceleration while cruising is what got me and a friend in shit. got a court summons and charged with street racing and dangerous driving. i went over the speed limit by a bit and all of a sudden the cops are trying to ping me for 120 in a 70 zone, with no radar. ha! this law will turn ugly as cops in vic are already bad enough.

That law has been in place for a while in vic. What is worse is it is up to the police's disgression; ie. if you get pulled up by a cop who is having a bad day, he or she can, without proof, fine you and have you appear in court on charges of accelerating unnessecarily, let alone the other things that they could pin you with; recklessness, drag racing etc.

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
