Well its been a while since i put up a post and like the normal posts i write... Bad News. (hehe)
I was on my way home from the pub last friday night after driving the car for the first time in almost TWO WEEKS when i get pulled over for a 'Random Breath Test'. I handed over my licence and puffed into the bag. (Australian limit = .05) What did i blow..????? .055

Drink driving is something i would never do. The reason i was .055 was i JUST finnished my 3rd Beer in two and a half hours.
I was made to stand by the side of the road for 15 mins and then made to blow again. Result = .047 (passed)

During the 15 mins of hell waiting for the result the officer in charge of the RBT slowley looked at my car with interest. At this point i thought i was ok UNTILL he said "Can you open the hood" then he takes out his note pad and starts writing things down as he tells me what is wrong with my car.

Result......

What can i say...???
1. Dont drive just after you finnish your last beer or better still DONT DRINK NOTHING AT ALL.
2. If you make a mod on your car make sure it has the paperwork to go with it.
3. Find out what can be done to you car legally before you do it.

Some of the things i have done to my car i can have with the right paperwork. I should have got it before this happened. Silly me.

Now because i havent got the paperwork i have to notify the police every time i take the car to have work done on it untill i have the Engineres Report done.
This means, what time im going to drive the car, where im driving to and approx how long it will take to get there. On the way home the same thing has to happen......

Take note of this as i hope it dont happen to you guys.

You want power but have no money. That's a problem.

Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two.

X2..... Plus that wasn't a good idea to just finish a beer and drive the car. But look on the brightside, you didn't get your car taken away.
