Nice to see you still take an interest in AGT Vaughan. About noticing what the police are wearing: It's likely they will have 20-35% windows tints, and try to engage ppl in street races at night, which is when they seem to happen most up here in QLD.

About the police presence in NSW: Hardly any! I spent quite a bit of time in the ACT over Christmas and New Years, and then 3 or 4 days in Sydney after that, and there were hardly any. I would see more police in Logan, than in those 2 states put together in a single day. Unless ofcourse they are all in these non-descript or "hoodlums" cars now?

Still bouncing back from a redback spider bite 13 months ago. Been working heaps, and struggling with the reliability of my PC lately. Still got the Astina, but don't have time or the energy (since the spider bite) to finish putting my TX3 back together.

Not directly, but through a chain of long and complicated circumstances, I lost a friend due to street racing the other day. So with that and my recent licence suspension, I haven't been into driving much lately.

I just don't care anymore, it seems the joys of owning a car are in the tinkering and refining, and not in the driving anymore.

That's because they can make money off you. Especially if they defect you in the process. I do think it's really WRONG of them to leave the poor guy who was being bashed... Save a life. There were two of them right? One of them could have attended to the other guy!!!!!!

Bloody ridiculas!

Im in two minds about this:

I dont like people who street race, they should be caught. However people who like to drive spiritedly (Like myself who takes off quickly no matter what cars beside me then backs off once i reach the speed limit) should not be given tickets for street racing.

I havnt had any bad police pull me over, theyve all been nice people. Had one guy think i was drunk but quickly realised i was squinting so much was hed left the high beams on.

There are wankas and tossas in every sect of socieyt, and as always its the minority who unfortunatley represent the majority. As motoring enthusiasts we should understand this well.

Be curtious(sp?) and polite and cops are nice people.

Is that thing lowered or does it just look low because of the bodykit? Don't know if a lowered cop car would be great for practicality's sake...
