Good luck finding me!

probably find you on the side of the road in a cloud of smoke

Haters always gonna hate!

So. Will that mean the lawless state of Victoria will finally be dragged into the 21st century and have annual roadworthies too?? Towards zero....how bout you start by getting the piles of shìt of the road Dan the man.

I reckon 90percent of us on here would have something illegal or unroadworthy on our rigs amd we do so at our own risk. How many of us with older rigs are getting around with no CAT! I don't have enough fingers to count the defects on mine! One business in my town is freely advertising that they do dpf removals and tunes and they do so at their own risk just like the rest of us! Don't shoot the messenger!

I call BS on that whole story anyway. These anecdotal reports of “a mate of a mate who spoke to a guy” are endless. There’s never any first hand reliable info of any kind, just forum experts and their internet stories. Tell us when something tangible actually happens.

So you're either calling me a liar or you think for some reason someone would call one of my closest mates pretending to be from the epa! What would I benefit from making something like that up!

Cant smell any BS at all
Its well known that NSW have led the way with emission regulation
It could become a big cash cow as it appears nothing has been done to prevent companies from providing DPF deletes or owners for getting it done for years
Interesting to see many companies still openly offer DPFDs on their web sites

These guys should know a thing or two with over 30 years experience in the industry

Not that at all mate. I’ve just heard pretty much the same thing numerous times over the last several years. The claimed fines vary a bit but it’s always the same story; “a mate who spoke to a guy” or something similar. Never anything official, never any kind of proof attached, never any detail.

Yep well that says it all-----Abandon all hope ye who enter into here.

Ggreenie, bit harsh with the bs mate! Rumours on the grapevine are not always to be dismissed. But I guess you can lead a horse to water.... And then they call bs and die of thirst
Logic tells me the EPA and government will do something about it, as said before.... Just a matter of time
