guys,

acticle in the december edition regarding car-modifying
forums becoming hangouts for EPA & the police more & more.
acticle states they are reading forums, collating lists of modified cars & ordering them in for testing
Hot4's advice to any car modifier who has posted details of mods to the cars is to remove them

your views?????

cheers

Yes we all have stock cars lol

But serious do you really think that the police have time to be on car forums all day trying to find out about cars they can maybe catch on the road??

The police never cease to amaze the public with their inventive ways to waste public money...

It would not surprise me... the police do have a unit with operatives posing as underage children in online chats (actually.. this one I think is good).

The concept of checking out forums is not out of the question.

I seem to recall the Gold COast traffic branch used a home video to track down several bike riders for doing stunts in teh hinterland on public roads. And yes... they charged them.

bottom line, if your mods are legal then why not say so, don't say anything if there not ?

Yes legality is always a requirement before you go and do any mod.

Or you could just rice up your ride with a crapload of stickers in a long shopping list down the drivers door to make em check for stuff you don't have. :lol:

The Victorian Police do log into Car Forums. Coz you will amazed by the Stupidity of Some People. They brag whats done to there Car, Then Gino from Rooty Hill Says "Show us a Pic Mate" Barry from Mt Druitt Says" Fine, Check these out" (Failing to cover Numberplates) The Cops see this Take the Rego, But a APB on the Vehicle. Barry loses out and looks like a Wanker.
Hardware Bob(Former OpelAus Site ISP) had a 180SX, Told people all about it on a Forum(MCCR) The TMU Got him and they didn't even need to look at the Car.
