    If it's a holden being used (barely capable anyway) ... no problem ....

    But any form of abuse is frowned on ... regardless if it's justly deserved/warranted ...

    Yeh Holdens have the issue of dropping oil and shrapnel too, wouldn't want to go there.

    Not really abuse, especially if you have a very worn tyre, less weight, and more power than stock.

    And a clip just for good measure

    I've done all the necessary looking up.

    I'll listen to anyone if they're reasonable (you guys haven't cornered the market on the attitude test) and can back up their statements. It's nothing to do with the fact that he's a plod.

    It's the BEING resonable when you've been "stopped" that is the key ... if not essence ... of the whole subject ...
