    Running North on SH1 this morning, shot between the idiots in the outer lane doing 90k and an Audi Q7 flashed coming towards me on the other side (thankfully!) Anyway, slowed to 105 and just over the rise was an unmarked Silver panel van, blacked out windows etc etc. Plonker in outside lane shot past me giving the 'I don't like you' finger and a couple of k's later he's been pulled :) Not used the airhorns for a while, forgotten how LOUD they are....made my day :grin:

    Ah, so you're the reason. Got a call from Judy at around 4.30 to come home. The rear glass on her territory exploded after she closed it. Has just had some gas shocks replaced recently. I thought it was safety glass. Went everywhere.

    Next time please keep away from our house. Stalker.

    i'd like a better definition of 'several' before i use it, and i'm sure that would depend on the distance you drive too.

    Probably how long its turned on. Updates its data by downloading the complete set at start up and regularly after that.

    Just a trap for mug punters imho.

    Don't have a clue as I've not checked it out but it could. I guess it depends on how much memory the thing has whether it downloads progressively or all oz maps in one go.

    I just hate these telecommunications rate traps. Greedy scum at heart. A new kind of moral low life.

    Don't know how much data it uses, I suspect a lot as it nearly flattens my battery in 3 hours.

    Have only used 7MB since owning the phone. I'm generally either at home or work so Wifi helps keep it down. With 700MB per month looks like I can have a play with sonme other apps. (and yes JM not more card games;))

    What pisses me off is I get pulled up in the Maserati even when I am at the speed limit. Even my wife got pulled up on one of the extremely rare occasions that she drove it.
    It really, really pisses me off. I never get pulled up when I am driving my other cars/bikes.

    I have had lts of cars that stand out and never had a problem. Anything that wears the 275 plate draws the Cops for some reason. Same thing happened with CSL when it had the plate.

    I thought I'd post this here rather than make a thread about it. this happened to me a few weeks ago


    i was doing about 130 something in the right lane on the highway (in a BMW X6) from Brisbane to Gold Coast at night

    and far up ahead i saw a parked cop car, a 4WD with its lights off and everything. I slowed down right away and as i was passing but i noticed he started to pull out just as i was passing him, i wasnt speeding when i passed him

    anyway i looked in my rear view mirror he was far away and there were others cars too. he moved into my lane and after a few minutes he came right up behind me. no lights or sirens or anything though, he just stayed there behind me. i didn't want to change lane to give way because i thought he might suspect something. after a minute he just overtook me from the other lane and drove off


    what the hell do you think that was about? i'm probably thinking too much into it because its the first time ive had an encounter like this, ive never gotten a speeding ticket

    what pissed me off most is that i just randomly decided to floor it at that moment, i usually never do. and there just happened to be a cop there

    Just after meeting alex today and finally getting back on the Hume :)rolleyes: another story) all of a sudden i noticed I had a policeman behind me. I had just slowed for a roadworks area but was still doing 90 in an 80 zone. You always feel uncomfortable with them behind you. He later passed me. That was the only police car I saw in my entire 960km drive today.
