What a pain in the A's!
5 finger discount merchants are everywhere. The middle east approach should apply, lop off their eating hand.
It is interesting that the urban myths usually appear, with some posts. Gug you say it is an offence in NSW more info please, act ,section regulation where it applies.
For years on the equipment side of the NSW regs, there was an offence of not have drip tray under carburetor, a left over from a bygone era, now relegated into obscurity with the nationals regs. But it was a favourite defect for the not so humourous tyre bitters.
I am still trying to find the written word on tubes in tubeless tyres.

Didn't know this one. I used to keep it there for the same reason as Zook. Allow other cars to hook themselves up for me to tow away:twisted:.Quote:

Also learn't today that over the weekend in Canberra, Summer Nats the number of breakins and car thefts totaled the same as all of Jan last year.:eek:
That is scary!
Edd you didn't have it when you arrived up here so unfortunately it must have happened down your way
Yep. Probably when parked in Canberra. It was only when I went to use the snatch that I knew it was gone.
It's a shame when this sort of thing happens, Edd.
I've encountered people in recent years whose basic attitiude is that if they can get away with pinching something, it's the owners fault for not securing it properly!
Ive lost 2 (got them replaced by people who like to leave their cruiser CES behind) but have found that fitting the anti rattle bolt really really tight with locktite and a locking nut and loctiting that too also stops em.
and the height of the towball on a S1disco is matched so that when a wrx drives in to the back of you it will go in through the front of the grill, snag the bonnet release catch so when you drive off to get out of the accident spot to make a clearance for traffic you take the bonnet and front facias with you...
(and the bugger who hit me had the hide to ask for a tow)
A locked door only keeps an honest man out of your home
I think this is more the rule against obstructing a number plate; many sedans have the plate mounted in the bumber and so when not towing the tongue & ball must be removed if it obstructs the view of the plate in any way. This applies equally to a conventional bolt on tongue as well as quick release hitch like HR.Quote:

This happened to me years ago in Perth. I approached what used to be a proper roundabout at the Causeway, braked to allow a vehicle from my right to go past and the bloke behind didn't!
I was driving a Triumph sedan and the towball went straight through his grill into the radiator and the bumper smashed his headlights ..... all four of them.
He was a mechanic working for John Hughes who had (still has) a big business the other side of the Causeway. I went to see him and thought he was going to bust his boiler as the mechainc had been testing what was a customers brand new car!
John Hughes couldn't have been better and arranged a hire car for the time it took to get my car repaired, but I've often wondered if the mechanic survived to tell the tale.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...013/09/470.jpg
