Default Who did I beep at on the Eastern ?

Spotted an 'aufalcon.com' stickered up S2 blue Fairmont with TE style bodykit and foglights today coming home on the Eastern in Melbourne, looked like a cool ride - any ideas who it was?

Rego plate was A*IN

Beeping unless it's a warning is illegal. I'm surprised you weren't picked up by the Hoon squad. And BTW, this thread is useless without pics.

Forgive him JC, he's from England, it's still legal there to use the horn to actually get someone's attention! LOL!

Oh my goodness, I toot the horn whenever my wife and daughter wave goodbye to me in the morning. The Hoon Squad may impound my car!

Aw C'mon JC, he was in Melb. It's a wonder there isn't a constant sound of 'warning devices' there .

Well, thank goodness the hoon squad didn't pick me up! Especially as I also flashed my headlights, was talking on the phone and doing 140km/h...

Just joking, although I must admit it has taken a while to 'adapt' to some of the road laws here. It would be interesting to trial some of the better UK road laws here to see if it improves safety and traffic flow - for example filter lanes, shorter ambers on the traffic lights and no undertaking on motorways.

Anyway, thats totally off topic and opened a new can of worms!! (I can feel the flack already)

Romaniac, your car is great, I love kitted up Fairmonts, and GK, thanks for sticking up for me!!

Cheers.
