Nice work, for 600s with a cat, a slip-on is unlikely to throw their meters. Just for your own interest, remove the plug half way through the day and see if you get pinged. 1st offense is usually just a discussion to see what can be done.

Neat, the only question is how well do they actually work.

Residents, who moved in beside a race track, then complained about the race track.

It was closed for years and only re-opened few years ago, on the basis it can meet very strict noise limits so OEM cans for the most part. I think there's 5 meters in total, 2 or 3 are fixed and the others are mobile, but in reality, if you want a good time it doesn't matter where they are placed.

At lakeside, they built houses around it.. then they complain about noise???
They did the same to surfer's back in 82/83, was one of the best race tracks in the land, and prob the best dragstrip as well, people built houses around it, then complained :x :roll: :( so they shut it down, tho not without some loud noise first... ZZ top, angles, redgum, just to send it off.... japs bought it and turned it into a golf course.. no noise, just wayward balls goung thru there window's :D :D

and the same people (who live on land that used to be farms) complain about the rising cost of food; and when they move (to land that used to be bush) complain about the missing native animals, and where are all the native plants they say from their gardens filled with introduced species!

some, sorry most, people are so fcuking thick they would cut their own nose off to spite their face
