Up to their old tricks

[White trash]

The guy ticketed is not some "boy racer wanker", he is a true Skyline enthusiast, having bought the GTR V-spec II as soon as it was available and throwing another 80g above the 124000 purchase price.

Very similar to alot of people here, just with a car, not a bike.

I've never seen him driving around town on a Friday night making a dick of himself or anything like that.

Cop in this instance, had a very bad case of small pecker syndrome.

Now imagine if he was into bikes, the goodies you could buy with that kinda money

[Paul in NZ]

What a bloody crock of freaking shit...

If he wants dangerous, take a look at the number of wankers that drive massive 4x4's in our cities. I'd rather get hit by that Skyline than a tank with a 'nudge' bar. (WTF are they going to Nudge? King Kong??)

I subscribe to a neato septic magazine that has just run an interesting article on the rise in motorcycle fatalities coinciding with the rise of the SUV. They are so high in front you are much more likely to die if hit by one as opposed to a car.

Take a pedestrians hand off... HA!

It's not my fault! my Pajero is just ''friendly'' it likes to get real close to bikes,give them a hug.

And come on guys that is a bloody nice carbon firber moulding, not something I'd put on my double cab but what if it was a carbon huger, frount guard, indercator or can..... you know what I mean, In that case I'd have it on my bike...wouldent you?

Hmmmm.... to some extent. I would love a CF hugger or guard, but then at least it's functional, whereas given that an aerofoil is for creating downforce at high speeds, it has no purpose apart from wank value on a car that will probably never (legally) reach a speed where it provides any benefit. Unless he uses it as a track tool.
However, having said that, he has every right to decorate his car as he sees fit (provided it's not a dnagerous fitting), and in this case, the cop was just being a dick, and probably one motivated by jealousy or other feelings not appropriate to proper performance of his duty. Would he have pulled up a Porsche with a factory whale-tail (AKA "picnic table")?

Ermm... I can however tell u from experience that he will drive above the speed limit, (on private roads of course). Have known him on the Skyline club for a good while, and yes the spoiler does make a BIG difference on how they handle. I would've considered it a safety device.

However, showing off carbon fiber like that does have a big "WANK" factor. At lease paint the damm thing.

Matter of opinion, I guess, as I reckon good unpainted CF can look nicer than painted. However, the paint does act to help the CF degrading due to UV light.

Spend that much on a car you may as well just replace the thing every few years when the looks start to fade

[k14]

Yip, the point of having carbon fibre is so that everyone can see it. The weight benefits are very neglidgble (sp??). Why paint it so that then no one knows its carbon fibre.

[Motu]

Most of the carbon fibre I have seen is just plastic with the carbon fibre look - if that was really a carbon fibre flipper it would of been fitted with quick detach mounts so he could take it off easily to show his mates how light it was.That cop was a total dork,he should of been asking the guy to sign his autograph book.

it's not my taste but hey it's not my car.

Each to their own, young guys always like the 'wank' value of biggest wing/loudest stereo/noisiest exhaust etc, we've all been there!!

By the time those guys are our age they will have no spine left from cruising on chopped springs and their ears will bleed constantly from the constant boom boom music. Not to mention the fact that their livers will be destroyed by the vibes from the sub woofers.

Ahhh propaganda.... sounds like a police education

So either way, we win

I wish that cop was around yesterday.. was following a mazda along the beachfront with a wing held on by 2 bolts in the middle...had to back right off in case it fell off his car. could see the ends flexing over bumps (up and down about 3ins) he even left the holes from what i presume was his old spoiler. pretty much had no springs either from the way it cornered. only one brake light on the back worked. none on the spoiler or rear window. he'd painted the whole back of the car himself too (bright yellow)... no shine anywhere and over-spray all over the huge exhaust.
