Hey guys, you may remember me. I'm the dude that keeps getting pulled over by the coppers.
Well on Saturday the 'ol man and I are going to do some trail bike riding. Anyways he feels like a nap (he's old alright?!). And says " you can drive the big ford " and so I drove it, about an hour down the trip, I wasn't even speeding, I was pulled over 'cos I was driving a car 'over the power to weight ratio for a probationary driver.' my dad and I talked our way out of it so he reduced it to a 'out of date rego label' still a $50 fine!!!
So that 5 offences in 5 months....I'm doomed to be stuffed by cops :P
Cheers Dave

too much power, WTF, is the Ford a V8?? that's really unlucky... they must have a little chart with all the popular cars and their power.....
still $50 bucks no points is not bad....
V8???

well i don't want to anger anyone, but i must be the luckiest bloke around when it comes to cops. i wish it was the lotto but unfortunately....
I have been pulled over for just about everything. Speeding, unregistered car, cars with rego stickers not changed, bald tyres, i blew 0.03 whilst still on p's which in qld while on p's you can only have 0. maybe i am just a likeable person or whatever. I had a car used to call the super honda, an old civic that you would not beleive could go over 60 and I purposely drove it through a speed camera doing 75 in a 60 zone and didnt even get sent a fine. I was disappointed but it is unbeleivably lucky. i dont generally speed or do any of the other above things, just once in a blue moon.

How does the XR6T hmmm? Anyone who's driven one would agree the word "insane" springs to mind. It may weigh 1700kg but it's and incredible feeling to drive.
I thought my staz was quick 'til a Sunday drive my and I pulled up at the lights against eachother. All I could see was a small blue speck far into the distance....he (dad) said he was pushing 220...as I was doing a measly 150.
I recommend a drive....not bad bang for your buck.
Although the new Evo 8 is only $63k....about the same as a fully optioned XR6T...
