Sustained losses of traction are bad, mmkay?

[Grahameeboy]

You are way too good to the Bad man!! (have you cleaned mine per chance?) yes the cops were quite grumpy, however they were also having a snicker in their car while checking his license details. jrandom is good at playing the "yes I know i did wrong but it sounded like fun at the time" guy.

Maybe he might listen to me when I say there is a car you better stop instead of "just one more" HEH!!

Mmmm...no....I did clean it a while ago and is not too dirty....listen to you?? Is it Judgement Day?

[jrandom]

hmm was that where ya went when I needed ya to help load the GS into my van?

You could have said that you are "the representative of the local iwi and was using modern technology to gather seafood".

No?

[AllanB]

And you sound surprised at their reaction??????

Where have you been hiding the past 8 months or so - there have been several deaths of innocent people on beaches due to silly stunts and thus a corresponding crack-down on reckless beach vehicle behaviour.

Now that's not to say yours was reckless or disturbing Joe Public but it does explain the police officers responses.

As a nation are not longer allowed to have fun unless it is approved and signed in triplicate by a Justice of the Peace.

But oddly enough if you are a teenager you are allowed to (female) wander around with your boobs practically hanging out and your muffin top oozing over your jeans, (male) stagger around (as you cannot walk properly) with your underwear fully exposed and your jeans around your knees.

So you're the motherflipper causing a slump in property prices locally.

I look forward to the next issue of Flagstiff. 'some young scallywags were seen scrumping apples from mrs jones back garden again. Members of the public are urged to look out for the little blighters. AND SOME HOOLIGAN was caught DRIVING ON THE BEACH. Local residents can rest assured that this criminal will be dealt with to the full extent of the law'.

No that'd be a Ruben... need sour Krauts instead of cops though...

[Patrick]

Lucky they didn't leave it bogged in sand, for the tide to wash it thoroughly for ya... Seen that happen once or twice coz a tow truck couldn't get there in time....

[jrandom]

Lucky they didn't leave it bogged in sand...

I made sure the tyres were under 25psi when I drove down onto the beach. Bogging was not a risk, particularly in anything below the high-water mark.

I wouldn't have left the tarmac if I hadn't already had a reasonable amount of experience over the years in the dunes in 4WDs and on damp sand in that particular car. I've snatch-strapped my share of Subarus with low-profile rubber from the edge of the surf, believe me. (Although not with the Camry, of course.)

I'd agree that it was neither the time nor place to be experimenting, but, well, I wasn't experimenting. Just indulging in a little quiet low-traction nostalgia. It's been a while since I had a play; I sold my Vitara last year and haven't headed up to the Kaipara bombing range since.



Fortunately, the coppers must have sympathised, because they just told me off and let us go.

I guess Stickchick and I aren't really your typical boy racers...

Now if you could only ride a bloody motorcycle you wouldn't need to get such silly kicks from driving cages. Open the R1 up in 1st gear and keep it there till redline, then do the same in 2nd might help
