10 November - The 2007 Wellsford Run

[Joanne]

Should get a VR-4 ... wait you already have one

PS: I used cycle up to 100km sometimes in Holland - I miss that feeling of freedom a bit.

And it's oh-so-useful for Kenny to pick me up in

I've done 100km once, and that was last month from Hamilton to Auckland - training now for 160km round Taupo in 3 weeks!

Hamilton to Auckland

[Joanne]

Lol

[bradc]

just bumping so people don't forget

[DefeXion]

forget? I have a ribbon tied on my finger about this one.

[Gly]

sorry i cant make this,

[Kenneth]

North shore meet location confirmed, see first post.

[Ryan]

After last night I'm afraid I cannot make it either.

[Subaru ETA]

soooo....anyone willing to donate to the "cvr4 people who got done on the wellsford run fund"?

[Gly]

LOL.... who? and by a cop or camera van??

[Subaru ETA]

sam and i.....sam got done by a marked cop car that came out of nowhere - 136k.

then later on a honda was in the middle of the convoy, i pulled out to overtake (he was doing like 95 at the time) and he sped up...turned out that when we got to wellsford he pulled into the carpark and he was an unmarked cop!

he took my license and said i had lost it coz he got me at 141k. we argued it out abit adn considering his radar only had me displayed on it at 136k he ticketed me for 136 - $400 50 demerits.

the others got a stern warning for there driving esp brad lol

o yeah thanks brad for saying what you said to the cop, i think it helped me alot, cheers mate.

but then the cop who pulled sam over turned up and was like "right which ones are loosing there licenses" and acted like a real cock...as i said he looked like the gay cop from reno 911. he then goes "im going to D16 that white one (defexion) for that sticker on the windscreen. his cvr4 sticker was no in the right place on the windscreen.

so yeah as everyone noticed, i drove back quite slow!

[bradc]

He gave the driver of the Black legnum a warning, not me - dunno what you're on about

[Subaru ETA]

haha, yeah, but he did say "who was driving the black one?" and was pointing at your car

[bradc]

not my problem, if he ever tries to charge anyone else, we can all say that he thought a white prefacelift non-VR-4 did something worth mentioning, when it was actually a white facelift VR-4, and that he thought my car was black, we can just say that he obviously didn't really know who's car was who.

[Subaru ETA]

interesting thing i just read on the police website -
"All speed measuring devices are to be operated in an overt manner. Hidden or camouflaged deployment is not to be used unless there is a specific operation targeting offending "

so, ummm where was the cop that pulled over sam i wonder?

[DefeXion]

prolly lurking behind a bush somewhere.

[Subaru ETA]

yeah i think its pretty dumb how we got done like that...tonight on my way out to go karting i was following a drunk driver, rang the cops and they didnt care!

[mpau009]

Dude only just read this - way sucky -...

Although, i did say at Brad's.. there have been cops all over that piece of road in the last 3 months, cant say iv ever seen a honda though I think that bit of fun is probably shut down for good these days.

There is a camera van on the riverhead coatesville highway every week, usually in a different spot, plus they cut the limit from 100 to 80 a while back, so you really would get shat on

soooo, clubvr4 track day in the new year?, got to be cheaper than $400 a car

[Subaru ETA]

far i rekon aye im keen for a track day!!!

o yeah, i took my anger out on the go kart track last nigh out at east tamaki...the dude said that my time was the fastest for a non competitive driver! my fastest time was 23 sec and the dude i was talking to who worked there said the lap record was 22.5 set by him

[Subaru ETA]

o yeah, where the pics at logan?
