Friend sent this to me... I don't know how legit this is, but it sure is good to know something like this....

WARNING from NRMA and Police

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside.

Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into

REVERSE, and you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of

your parking space and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift the gear stick back into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out off your car to

remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your

car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and they practically

mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN SYDNEY AND COULD SPREAD ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this email.

Hope you will forward this to friends and family. A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting

your home address. Especially when they already HAVE your HOUSE KEYS!!!

in my car, once started, doors are closed and seatbelt is on my alarm activates the anti-hijack. As soon as i open any doors and take my seatbelt off the car starts to cut out after 2 mins. The only bad thing about it is that when i get home i cant get out and let the turbo timer do the job for me.

1st of all..

I got this email a few years ago, before I even had a car.

lol @ using real life things as spam mail.

good point whoever said u would probably see it before u got in.. but anything is possible.. if someone wants ur car they're gonna try their hardest to get it.

that girl on your bonnet will do a fine job obstructing me. alien were did you find her? more to the point does she have a sister

I'm up for going halves. :lol:

Screw that, I'll take two! And if she has a sister, it'll be two of each, thanks! :O

ahahah shes not even real ... he pasted her on there as you would notice if she was to stand up she would be VERY tall like 2.5metres or something lol.

Sorry for getting all your high hopes back down.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
