    Quite right. Interesting concept, basically a manual gearbox with a servo attached. The logic is that the gearbox has none of the losses associated with a normal auto - but it's kind of automatic.

    Similar system in ferrari's (can you imagine how unreliable that'd be???), Fiats, and the latest toyotas.

    Italians can't make electricity go from one place to another reliably. But, it beats buying a japper, and I can't afford another Mini Cooper S...

    Hardly brand new, but new to me. I keep buying trouble... At least the scoot is reliable...

    The two most memorable Cops, the first was a old bike cop in New Plymouth in the 80s who would race you accross town if you beat him you got off scott free if he beat you he through the book at you.
    the second was one that pulled me over in the Late 1980s I feel out of the cage door flat on my face, he helped me up and sat me in the patrol car, got me to blow in the bag all the Crystals changed colour, he throught the bag on the floor, and wrote me out a speeding ticket, the legality of the bags was being tried in court at the time for there accuracy to test breath Alcohol.
    Keep in mind this all was in the 1980s.

    They were all legal in '85.... must have been well before then, especially since they are only a screening test to see if you may be over the limit. The evidential test was always at the station. He must have been on his way to the donut shop and your drunken arse got in the way.

    THAT sort of comment will get you nowhere on KB, a general rant about what a lot of lying pedantic revenue-gatherers is more in keeping with KB...

    I have a feeling that the good cops (orange and blue marked cars) are more likely to let you off with a warning than the bad cops (yellow and blue marked cars)... But it's just a hunch

    Again, while we don't necessarily agree when we are in 'the situation' it's hardly fair calling people arseholes for doing their job.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    You'd be fooked down here then... all our cars are going yellow blue... Means I am now bad so no more warnings from me then... "Bad cop - no donut!"

    Taranaki is 'up there' to me I'm afraid.

    Are you saying all cops in your area have been redesignated to highway patrol duty? Or are they changing the colour scheme for the "crime-police"?

    One colour for all... general duties, traffic, highway - and possibly the CIB even...

    That theory goes out the window down here matey!.
    "First up best dressed" - it could be the Youth Aid sheila in the yellow and black just as much as the Traffic guy in the CIB car.
