: spewing!

[Dezza]

Good that you've got it back, but a shame that it got impounded in the first place. It wouldn't have felt right, having to drive a VT to Phillip Island for the V8s

[Polyal]

Hmm...Ive accidentally lit them up a little coming out of a car wash before, but done it on purpose a couple of times as well.

You can say that you haven't been warned.

Is this a continuation of the other thread that got locked? The Franga one?

[RUQ1KA]

Thats not good to hear:(

hope it all turns out ok for you

[EL8TED]

at least you realise the errors of your ways - and accept it - i can respect that , most ppl would be on here whinging and crying that the police were big meanies and they are unfair to all drivers and i am never wrong and i know everything.. etc etc .. hope the rest turns out ok for you.

Ill 2nd that

[dansedgli]

That sucks mate, if you didnt keep the boot into it then they should have been a bit lenient.

Ive also gotten sideways by accident coming out of a carwash. Noone was watching though.

They can be quite dangerous actually, you have stuff all traction coming out, and I dont know about others, but I clean my rims a bit and that seems to cool/flood (??) my brakes until I give them a quick couple of pumps.

[DaNeoS]

[Laminge]

I hate to kick you whilst you are down... but FRIGGEN SPELL CHECK before you post.

Firefox 2 has an inbuilt spell checker.

[Sorted]

Bald & Wet Tyres and locked diff can do that..........you should of known that by now......

Still this "hooning" law sucks big time but thats been covered over and over again

Didn't the cops have anything better to do <------ this is the line the cops love

Hope all goes well tomorrow but i have seen my fair share of court hearings and its like gambling Win or Loose - hope you win though - GOOD LUCK

Agreed with everything said. I have accidently kicked out in my old shitty XF with 4.1 in it. Was slightly turning as i had gone around the corner after coming out of the car wash and was following A friend. Had it in first and didn't realise and went to take off, not quickly or anything. Luckily kept it on my side of the road cause it was a narrow street. Might have been a greasy surface. It is right near a petrol station and stuff?

[kyro_02]

Bald & Wet Tyres and lsd diff can do that as well :P

did they say anything to you about your spool (like if they seen your wheels skipping when it was going on the tray?)

[DaNeoS]

nah did not say anything about the spool, so thats a bit better. lucky the 19's where not on the front this time but now i gotta organise shit for tomorrow. will post the good or bad news tomorrow :(

[kyro_02]

if you get caught 'hooning' is a straight out suspension.. or like 3 points and $xxx fine... (or it's a suspension but up to court to decide how long for?)

[gngtho]

isn't that double jepardy?

[Tiapan]

bugger man! i hate that crap!

[T_Terror]

Bad luck dude.

But really you shouldve just layed low till you got out of the suburb as soon as you saw the cops when coming out the carwash.

I know how tempting it is though, nothing like a bit of water on the tyres to make you feel like you have 500kw!
3rd gear power-on wheelspin!

[GREERZ_04_BA]

damm that sucks.
did u say u just washed ur car and ur wheels still are getting water on them.
that sucks so bad.

Damn I always do that, and my carwash is right near a cop shop! Will have to think twice from now on.

I notice you say there were multiple Police vehicles at the scene of your ghastly crime, which one actually pulled you over out of interest? Was it a TOG or a General Duties car?

Sundeep

LOL everytime without fail id be sideways out of the car wash in my ED it was almost impossible not to...although i did get carried away at times.

[Falcon_Power_06]

me and my mate seen that he thought it was you and when we saw pete's car there we knew it was. Tom told me what happened about 10 mins after the truck took off.

[EDXR6T]

Tough luck man.

Car wash demo's are the best. lol

Out of interest how much did this all cost you with the towing fee's, impound fee's, and what ever crap they throw on top of it./??

Hope it all turn's our good.

[needaXYGT]

ah bad luck man. i was at a carwash the other night and some guy lit em up in the bay then continued to go side ways around the exit bend

[Rollin]

I used to wash my car at work before these water restrictions, and the road perpendicular to the one my work is on is slippery at the best of times (step out on a 1-2 shift in the dry when the car was still N/A) but just after washing the car it was lethal!

I reckon if I ever tried to which of course I never did I could have blazed second gear the length of the street

I'm also a bit curious about the laws, as gngtho said - aren't you getting busted twice for the same thing? like, you got sideways, and the cops inpounded your car and you had to pay heaps of money to get it out, then you are also getting a summons to go to court for the same thing? WTF????

My girlfriends dad said something tonight which I thought was quite funny, went along the lines of -

"If you go to court you can expect the law to be upheld, but if you expect justice you are kidding yourself"

The money he paid is for tow truck fees, impoundment costs etc this usually comes in around $400-800.

The second part is the actual fine for the offences if he is found guilty, plus any demerit points, licence suspension etc.

All seemed pretty nice, except for the female, who must of got up on the wrong side of bed, making sure Dane knew how many people were killed on the road, then threatening to tell my gf's parents that he'd killed her, even though she was standing next to us?
She then sped off VERY quickly in a 60km/h roadwork zone, I asked the male cop if she knew how many people died on the roads and he had a bit of a chuckle.
Ill get the pics up when I get home..

For some reason female cops are always uptight, the only logical reason i can think of is they feel threatened and they have to put on a front to show there as tough as male cops? _2:

Get your gf to complain to the female cops superior and say she was upset by the threatining manner used against her (assuming she was just an innocent bystander and had nothing to do with the matter).

You always have to keep your driving style in check. You should know that you will get wheel spin comming out of a car wash. But the sounds of it you have been done for similar before.

Without over reacting I hope this has no impact on the club. As I live around the corner I don't want the automatic 'E-series hoon member'.
