Townsville Euro GTG

[Mr. JLT]

It was good to catch up with everyone--10 cars is a pretty good turn out.

Kaneda - I was paying to much attention to your car and not enough to the road and nearly ran into some dude backing out of a car park! Love the look of your red beast.

[Mr. JLT]

I spotted a lowered,with wheels, Silver S3 plate was DANTE this morning on Woolcock/Hugh street headed into town. Anyone know the guy.

Cheers Jay

Also saw a black bora with bling bling wheels too that i haven't seen getting round before.

Have seen a Reflex Silver Bora around also, looks tidy.

G'day Mr J.

Your horn sounded....different... the other day when you went by me.

Special???...or are my ears fooling me?

Heads up for my fellow Dubbers of Townsville.

Our local constabulary are using a silver Hyundai i30 as a unmarked car... I've seen it twice in the last week with the blue and reds flashing in the grille.

Watch out!

I'm sure we all do...I was thinking of those brothers and sisters with a few tricks on their cars.

Silver Golf hey...hmmm... seen the others getting around but the silver Golf is new...Thanks for that Brett.

The big thing, of course is, if you're doing nothing wrong, you've got nothing to worry about....

It is an interesting question...I don't have an issue with unmarked cars per se...they seem to be effective at policing ratbag behaviour in built up area's.

Eventually, if you're observant, you get to spot most of them anyway.... perhaps there is an arguement to be made for moving the unmarked cars around between districts every few months.

I do have a problem with speed traps that are hidden and speed camera vans though, as I have always thought that the idea is to stop people from speeding, not catch them speeding.

As an example high visibility speed monitoring on identified black spots, would stop people speeding in the black spot area thereby making it safer...it would be more effective than a speed camera van for example.. I certainly reckon it would be more of a deterrent than receiving a camera fine x days later.

Not knocking the police for doing their job, more questioning the effectiveness of that job, and the tools utilised for a given situation..I guess.

My 2 bobs worth.

Wow I have seen so many new dubs lately. A white Mk5 with wheels in fairfield. I met a guy at super cheep that had a grey Mk5-He's on the forums but I forgot his screen name. Saw a silver Mk5 R32 by the nite owl in fairfield.
