... dark black...

As opposed to light black huh...

* sorry - can't resist being a smartass :P

The '05 GTs look pretty good on paper. More oomph than a standard WRX. My P's just got an '04 with a sunroof the size of a squash court. Very nice - albeit buffety.

Stonnington (Prahran) TMU use an '04 XT - silver and green ones.

They have a black Magna too.

Saw a speed camera on the way to work today - was Commode wagon with the camera equipment in a custom cut-out hole in the bumper. No more sticking the box on the naturestrip it seems...

If they only spent half that much time and money on improving the shit roads in victoria with all the renenue they are making from those cameras.

not to mention all the money spent on researching better ways to hide the f*kin things.

i see them all the time on east boundary road near my house... there hasnt been an accident let alone a fatal one on that road for years... since ive been in the area actually and ive been in the area for 10 years yet theres always one because theres a lot of need for one on that stretch of road

Off topic, but what's with massive sunroofs?

My mate has a 206GTi with doors and sunroof that are almost bigger than the car itself! :(

The sunroof opens both ways, panoramic.

I also saw a black XT on Princes HWY on saturday night too. It pulled over another car that was speeding.

P.S - The last Forester GTs eneded production in 2002. Replaced by the XTs - apparently insurance companies don't like the letters "GT" much.

Could be a little different in VIC but a camera mounted in the cop car? Surely that can't be right...

In NSW there has to be ample amounts of warning before you even get close to the fixed speed camera. Someone car to explain?

Not in Victoria. here the governement tries to hide them from view so they can catch those evil people going at 53km/h.

I know what you mean in syd though, when i was up there a few months ago in the "shire" there were 5 sings before a speed camera. they make it very obverious for the driver up there, pitty they have shit roads though...

I hate those evil cameras mounted on the dash, with the radar on the front numberplate... always on 90's magnas and the like... have been done a couple of times within a km of my house (65km/h yay!...not)... the only way you can tell them from behind when they are parked on the left is the tell tale cb style attenna

LOL... i know all too well about the black magna... doing the rounds at a certain carpark in prahran ;)

I saw a gutsy mobile speed camera operator parked in his commodore on the side of the western ring road on Sunday! :lol: sneaky...

i see 1 almost daily on my way to or from work...there is a school zone (40km/h between the set hrs) and they always have a car there....its kind of obvious, as no one else would park there....but the camera isnt really visible (its on the ground in front of the car) until its too late....

i've never been done, but 40km/h is a bloddy hard speed to stick too! lol

seen a dark blue unmarked BA ute twice in the eastern suburbs. both times had pulled someone over.

Hmm.. Is that everyones' favourite police officer?

    • 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)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
