Queens Birthday Weekend Police Blitz

[BigRAWesty]

Tunes is not the issue here. Lift, Tyres, Turbo, GQ, 4 Wheel drive, Long weekend, Police attitude to all of the above. I would not take my GUIV anywhere either! Very sad.

Yea totally get that..
You can have 1000hp in a sleeper..
But.
33's, 3" lift and mufflers will see you smile and wave past a lot more cops than 35's and straight threw exhaust..

But yea.. where's the fun in that.

Do I need to build some trailers...???

lol, not this weekend bud. 33s and a 3" lift will get you a defect. You will be waved pst none. They will ride into your campsite this weekend on XR450s and a Yellow Pad. Game Over.

they are but 3" suspension is not. and certainly not together. it is 3" combined lift so 33s and 2" spring lift is the limit. No Body lift.

Or right..
That's still better than SA's 50mm lift and 7mm tyre increase... lol

Unfortunately the sadest part is for the business owners in our High Country regions. Last year at Dargo the publicans vouched for the slowest weekend to date. KTM's galore scouring the tracks at quadruple our pace, AB & Jaysee can sticker vouch for that :-( ! Both cars were LWB very well set up, tyres yes, but we need these tools to travel safely, slowly and environmentally conscious at 20psi without skull dragging up tracks!!

Makes me sad, yes I know my GU is definitely over the top but it also is driven everywhere, around town or the bush, with care and safety for my family in mind. I have a 2 and 4 year old and my wife in it so why would I drive it dangerously? We just want to get where we are going comfortably, easily and safely. The things I see around me on the road in just one day make me more worried than everything I have ever seen off the road put together

Cheers, Danny

Mark AB and I rolled into Woods Point on Australia Day weekend expecting to have to bush camp along the river due to the crowds..... Was Blown Away to find Comet Flat Camp ground completely deserted! We had it to ourselves! We went into the pub for a beer "Just because" and there was Noone there! was Crazy! We drove around for 2 days and saw only 2 or 3 cars in the area! could not believe how quiet it was. Certainly the business owners must feel that!

Yeah we spoke to the lady behind the bar and she mentioned the owner bought a shipload of steaks, etc and no one was in town for the long weekend.

Very sad indeed!

Workmates best friend works for depi and lives in Mansfield. Cops even target their land cruisers etc...
There was a lot of letters written to the local MP and council outlining people abandoning visiting to their town because of the police attitude. Loss of tourism etc... and apparently there was a response letter somebody put up on Facebook pretty much saying , no matter what car you drive be it a family sedan or 4x4 if you abide by the rules and are legal on road you have nothing to worry about .
I'll scour my FB later and have a search for it.
