Thursday night. After a long day at work (still in my office clothes).

Just driving my 10 yr old to her dance class. My wife was also in the car. Just going through our normal routine. All of a sudden a siren and flashing blue from behind. I pull over. Two cops come out. One Aussie, one of Asian background. Pull out my license. I wind down my window and ask the young Aussie officer "What have I done wrong officer?" The officer hesitates a bit (maybe surprised that it wasn't the kind of person he expected driving the "hotted up" nissan turbo coupe) and smilingly says "Oh it's nothing sir just a random breath test-could you pop up the bonnet for me please".

Breath test clear.

Asian cop inspects the engine bay. Clear. They go to the side of the car and check the clearance between the tyre and fender. Clear. One cop goes behind the car while the other asks me to rev the engine up to 4,000 rpm (I've got a full 3.5" HKS system with a cannon tip). Clear! Asian dude is not satisfied. He begins to quizz me about the blockout window beside the driver's door. I said "what!". Aussie officer pulls him away and says to me "have a good night sir, you can go". They speed off into the night in their XR6 cop car slightly breaking traction.

My time wasted. Their time unwisely spent. Great!

The interesting thing about this, is how are 20 year old drivers THAT different to drivers your age (assume 30's) ?

You cant generalise all skyline drivers into the same category. You also shouldnt generalise all 20 year old drivers as 'hoons'

ITS OK I CAN HANDLE THAT STIGMA =)

Toby doesn't generalise that all younger drivers are hoons, although he might get that impression from hanging around me too much :P

It is a shame that skylines and import drivers are targeted in particular, and what was meant by the post is that not all drivers of these vehicles are hoons but normal citizens going about there own business and the police wasting their and our time with frivolous attempts at revenue raising.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
