I think Bloo had tongue firmly in cheek when he said that - he's more getting at the fact that's it's not wise 'incriminating' oneself on the web. You never know who's watching ...

Bloo's from Oz. So assumimg he's an Aussie, then I reckon do-gooding's not on his horizon (I mean that in the nicest possible way BTW )... it's us whingeing Poms that are more averse to do-gooding/fun assassinating lol

have you changed or modified the engine in any way?,as this could be caused by compressor surge.

Do you have a boost gauge?
If so when it does this does the boost up a bit then back down? This is where the load is quite high.
This could be due to the vacuum pipes running to the boost solinoid might have some oil in it, get some carb cleaner and give them a clean.

Exactly, it's not a great idea to incriminate yourself on a public forum really, especially considering the way that Police (both in the UK and here in Oz) hold speeders in such low regard (thereby justifying the massive amount of resources they utilise to bring them to justice)

The Police are always quick to blame accidents on excess speed but I believe that virtually ALL accidents are caused by a lack of driver awareness. If you are in touch with the conditions that exist around you, you can adjust your driving accordingly. Trouble is, you can't measure 'lack of awareness' and therefore can't fine people for it.

By the way, I'm a Pom too. I moved out here 18 months ago for political and meteorological reasons..........

Amen to all that you say .

Wish I had the confidence to move from this Big Brother-esque, selfish-based society, hell hole of a condascending 'dictatorship'-style regieme.
