G'day

I think you will find that it is any old car at the moment.
Recently a friend got pulled up in a VR Commodore Wagon that had just passed rego and the cops went over it looking for something to book her for. A mate with an older Ford camper van told me that the NSW RTA are now making home visits inspecting old cars that have just passed rego.


So basicly since i know nothing about bodywork or fibreglassing to fix up the rust comming up in the gutter's.
im beddy, the one i want to be burred in, will be taken of the road..
thats so sad to hear..

does'nt the government know we all cant afford $20,000 for a car less than 20yrs old..
Im on the disabled pension im not rich, but when i brought my bedford it made me feel like the richest man in the world..

i always thought it was jealous, cause they dont have one..

i just dont like the law that states, a cop can say there is a fault with the van, after all the hassle of getting it checked an getting a report back saying no fault. the cop that orginaly said there was a fault, gets away with it.

Eg it's called Police Harassment, certain cops out there like to pick on certain people just for the fun of it with no true facts of anything.
 
As for the Inspection of the back area of the van, well lets just say every time im pulled over there looking in the back,
probably looking for the 10 dead cops i transported last week.. ;D an the weed crop i grow in there while i travel.. :D
Get a Life cops an due your job, not harass bedford owners, who like a shagin wagon on wheels.. (an not hit your head)
At least the beddie beats the gutter when your drunk!

i have had a few people in geelong warn me that i will be pulled over alot once i get the beddy on the road...

they seem to think that the cops will think im a hoon just because of the type of car i choose ::)

others say cops will just pull it over out of interest if it looks in good nick. i have seen this behavior in geelong in my younger days when cops pull over friends older cars that have been restored and say "sorry i just wanted to have at look at the car"... they are human too but i think its a slight abuse of powers to pull people over for a gander.

either that or its using the persons pride in their work to illegally search the vehicle?

they will pull you over cause your a van, or follow (tailgate) you just to make you do something wrong.

they use the random breathteast to pull u over. (even the cop said i expected it to be 0 at this hour)
they love to have a search in the back, an will go an far as to get you to do the moving of the stuff.
if you dont comply a yellow canary will be issued for anything he fancys.. (so i have been told)

but i have sorta solved the cops doing what they want.. just tell them there on video servailance in an around the van..
reversing cammera an a dome cammera in the frount does that trick..

then they do there job an be polite.. (just incase i send a copy off to there boss).

i think its part of their job description... they get taught to hate panelvans as part of their curriculum too ::) as for the nuff in cristeebrook....nah...he woz just born a right proper....  ..heard a few petty,s turn into horror stories starrin him around the area.. tend to give that area a miss if can.. 1 in brinkworth too prob his brother... apparently they hang out together ..mainly i think so,s they can get their IQ,s into double figures..take em in yor stride all part n parcel of lifes rich tapestry wen u share yor life wiv a beddie..
I,d rather sell my...mum,....than my bedford!!
