oh and if he has ABS brakes then you wouldnt see skid marks up until the point that he hit you....correct me if im wrong please anybody??
-
Yeah, that looks pretty bad...you should prob def have a broken leg or something after that impact. Go get that lottery ticket someone mentioned!!
Question for everyone.......If the guy was speeding, is it instantly his fault or is the blame shared because both people were doing/did the wrong thing (that is assuming you pulled out in front of him).
Even though, your in the 'give way' position, didn't you say that you didn't see any cars coming from the right before you left your line? Which means the other car was definitely speeding down the hill or not paying attention. Its his fault!Look at the photo again and see how much distance there is in that hill for a car coming down. The car would have had to be doing like 100 km/hr to have been too far away to notice it coming down that hill.
It almost looks like he was trying to turn and didn't make the corner, hit you instead. Where did you end up? (car)I'm goin to assume you are a competent driver as im sure you are....being a skyline owner. Which means you wouldnt have pulled out in front of this car for no reason. Abo Bob has raised a good point here!
I think its quite possible this guy was either intending to turn left down the street you were coming from, but was going to fast and couldnt make the corner OR perhaps wasn't intending too turn but had his indicator on from pulling out of a driveway or something.
You would have seen his indicator flashing to turn left and pulled out thinking you were sweet to go!!
If so then maybe it REALLY wasnt your fault at all!!

e_dog.. yeah it wouldn't surprise me.. but nothing i can do about that! And i was also thinking its probabl safer ont he streets.. either that or don't have s much of a routine with parking as i did.. park adhocly, park on the street or leave it at home!
and thanks miss pie... i;m more focussed on getting it sorted and praying that karma will bite those bastages in the ass
Yeah sorry moanie, didnt mean to seem insensitive. I know theres no real point to what i said because cant really do anything about it. Cars at risk no matter where it is.
American mate had a custom harley he brought all way from the states. Moved into expensive apartment with secure parking. Bolted chain into the concrete carpark floor and locked it up tight and well out of road sight. They reckon when someone else moved into the apartment and removalists were walking through the car park, they saw it...bike was gone three days later.
Everyone's dodgy

I'm always suspicious of the security guards at places like star city.. it just seems all a bit convenient that they get away with barely any trace. The thieves are either very stupid to be stealing from a place that is theoretically covered with cameras, or they know that they cant get caught because they're mates with the security guards or whatever.
I'm not saying that in this case the security had anything to do with at all, its just a conspiracy theory!
Sorry to hear about your troubles.
Im also with you on this one re the seco's. These carparks are like shopping malls for thieves. As if the security guards arent cruising round and ringing there mates every time a nice car rocks up. Theres no way in the world they arent involved. Call their mates, keep a watch out, watch you in the casino to make sure your not heading back to the car, letting them out the front gate.
Why wouldnt they when its so obvious they can get away with it scott free, as in your case where obviously no one is suspecting them!
Conspiracy theory this! i reckon thered be a few that actually took the job at star city with patrolling for cars to steal specifically in mind.
Not saying all sec G's are bad, sure some are working to put food on their kids plates. But even those ones prob are willing to, or forced to turn a blind eye to what goes on.
Your cars prob safer on the street where theres the constant threat of a cop driving past then in a dark corner of a car park. (cop drives to enter star city carpark - thieves get a call from seco to move away from whatever car there working on).
Sorry bout the rant

Ill take 18th and relinquish 39th to another starlet uninitiated skyline owner.

Well North Turramurra is a lot different to South Turramurra... ask him if he knows where the south turramurra shops are, with the bakery and stuff, right next to Auluba (pronounced A-lu-ba ). If he does, we can meet there...
That sounds fine. Should be able to find it. Mate says he vaguely knows where it is. Down Kissing Point rd or something??
-
Hells yeah man, I'll be picking up a mate in South tuzza
Where do you wanna meet?
Haha, thats crazy. I dont know turramurra that well. You wanna suggest somewhere and im sure my mate will now how to get there!
-
any one else around North Shore way going and wanna meet up somewhere?
Im in for the Bunnings lunch meeting time. Def keen for a mass cruise to canberra.
Doof, i'll be pickin up a mate in turramurra then heading down to Bunnings. If you wanna meet up North Shore first let me know
