Unfortunatly, here in Perth, Busses have Right of
way.
One indicates once then pulls out of the bus stop,
you have to give way.
It sucks, but I don't have insurance, and I need my
car.
On the tail gate thing, we built years and years
ago a STOP SPECIAL!!
Haa haa memories.
What is a STOP Special you ask??
It was a old banged up MORRIS MINOR, with 4 wheel disk brakes of a import scorpion bolted to it, a resister in
the brake light circuit, to slow the brake lights from coming on just a
little bit, formular ford slicks on all 4 corners, and just for added who cares
factor a great dirty lump of rail way track welded direct to the chassis, with a
chrome bumper welded to that and a old pair of recarro seats and harnesses for
the front seats.
I tell you we scared a few tailgatters with that
one.
Imagine 130 km's a hour and upwards down the freeway to a dead stop
in less time than I wish to remember, with our harnesses ready to snap, with a
brand new BMW with smoke coming of all 4 tyres locked up sideways passing us in
the other lane trying to avoid us.
But officer there was a pelican in the middle of the road, I
couldn't hit it.
Haa haaa.
Later.
Rick White.
