clueless vehicle inspectors...

[montyv8]

just took my ute down to get an ID check done (as its an interstate car).
they used to do the Id checks at the same place as defect inspections, now its in another building around the corner. Theres vehicle inspectors at both places.
At the same time as mine was being looked at, there was a black '57 tudor pillarless Chevy, dumped on fat convo's, 454 rat etc being inspected.
the owner was sweating lol...
I was standing between the Chev and my ute, and i said to the guy inspecting my car "that chevs a beautiful car", he replied "yeah, and its supercharged". I had another quick look in the bay, nope, no blower, just a hi-rise Team-G with a fat holley on top..
seeing my look of confusion, the inspector says to me "see the big intercooler?" I had to laugh, as he was pointing at the large aluminium radiator.. This guy was near on 60yrs old. I wonder how long he's been inspecting cars?

this wasn't the first time I've heard funny things from these guys..
my old XA coupe had to go in for a defect clearance a few years back. the guy looked at my shiney Edelbrock aircleaner and told me i had to fit a stock aircleaner. I said no I didn't, I'm allowed to run any airfilter I want, as long as theres one there, and theres a pcv system in place. He then went on to give me a lecture on vehicle emissions and ADR's. after he finished, i pointed out that my coupe was early '73, therefore pre-emmisions...

Some of these guy's have absolutely no idea whatsoever, especially when it comes to older cars.. and they're the official inspectors, not the fresh-from-the-academy police doing the roadside checks we all love...

anyone else heard weird/funny things from these guys?
