I was told last week by a police officer that my car can not be a show or sound off vehicle after sitting in at the foreshore at Newcastle last week playing with my car stereo. He said to me "You have to be stupid a Camry can not be a show or sound car so you may as well take it home." After pointing out that it is my competing car and that it is an "Apollo" he left me alone but has anyone else ever had that or is it just me?

I know a dumb ass who wants to use a Daewoo wagon for a show car *shakes head* , I guess some people just have no idea

Copper was right though . . .
Camrys dont make show cars

Hey if you like it that's all that matters.
You can turbo bloody anything these days and there are some weird show and spl cars. I personally don't like utes but that doesn't stop people from showing how nice they can look

Hey! Camry's are awesome cars to use for SQ competitions. Just look at the CAASQ leader board. There are 2 camrys in the top spot for their state.

Well seems we have some mixed thought about this one but I still love my Apollo & am going to keep with it.
I see others have Apollo's & Camry's here too.
PM me with what you've done and pix are great too.

Sep 23 2005, 11:47 PM
yeah there was a blue camry in hot 4's last year or the year before.
i hated it at hte time but i think they look pretty good when i see them round town with a nice kit n mags on them. the newer models look awesome too, too bad they only come with a 4 or 6 cylinder.
you do what you want with your camry mate because currently i have a ford maverick

(nissan patrol) that will soon be upgraded to a better car believe me.
least it ain't an excel or daewoo thingo...no offence to excel or daewoo drivers.

Think of it this way, there not keeping an eye out for you car, as they dont see it asbeing a modifyed car and your not gonna get picked on like other cars here.

You would be surprised what they pick on and what they don't. Sometimes it just doesn't make sence but what can you do.

Man aint dat da truth!
I got canaried in an 87 poverty pack SL commodore station wagon that was stitting stock hight with just a set of 17"s on it no tint nothing. yet right next to me there was all types of modified vehicles like DUMPED commondoors foulcans Shkyliners uleh. yet I got done? for condensation in my head light & indicator and my horn being intermittent (and it took them nearly 40 minutes to do that)... ...sometimes sleepers arent safe from the eyes of the jacks, hell they were so hell bent on getting me the guy even started measuring the piece of flex pipe from the crossover pipe to the plenum to make sure it haddent been modified like WTF.
But yeah an apollo could be an SPL or SQ car but not a show car they are as ugly as sin

The worst sound car I ever heard was an old, clapped out 323.
The very mainstream stereo could've easily been worth more than the car, and make up half the total weight considering the rust and missing parts (light lenses, door trims etc).

on the topic of stupid stuff you've been told by the cops.....
way back when i was in school, i got pulled over by the cops for riding my bike on the sidewalk......
about a week later as i was riding along talking to a friend who was walking, a cop car pulled up, and one of the not too bright local constabulary told me to get on the sidewalk...... WTF?!?!?!?!?!

love the pic by the way but keep the stupid stories coming.
saw my mate the other day get done for having an egg splattered on their car and was driving it to get it off at a carwash.
so yeah.

well..... according to my local porcine constable, i'm the new SPL recordholder with 200dB.....
honestly, why spend a motza on amps and killer subs/boxes when a pair of Pioneer TS-W305's in a sealed box, driven by a soundstream lil-wonder 4 channel amp will pull 200's?

not according to my local cop......
only got a warning this time, but when (not if) he ends up giving me a ticket for it, i'm gonna do my best to make sure he writes 200dB on the ticket..... just to see how long it'll last in court!

200dB u will have to post the ticket up when u get it
Make sure he writes that down!
