People Who Give Us A Bad Name


Recommended Posts

earlier today i was at the lights on magil rd turning right onto payneham rd when a maroon r33 came around the corner. As it saw me it hit the gas and ran straight up the backside of a stationary commodore that was in the right lane to turn right. I couldnt see how much damage was down but once both drivers got out of their respective cars the owner of the commodore looked very pissed off and rightly so. Now if i told you that i had never tried to 'show off' in my car, especially to a fellow skyline driver i would be lying however this is just plain stupidity and gives us all a bad name, especially in this case seeing the traffic was very congested due to the norwood food and wine festival only a few hundred metres away. If the owner of the skyline reads this im not trying to have a go at you mate, this could have well happened to anyone and we all have lapses in concentration from time to time but i think with a little bit of common sense incidents like this can be avoided. Anyways thats my story :P

Yeah i have seen some people do some stupid stuff had a guy in a 32GTS(-t?) follow me yesterday he seemed to be a bit carless going around a few of the corners and round abouts near the woodcroft college area.

I spose hes gonna need a good panel beater...... YEp its wankas like that, that make the revenue raisers hate us even more....

wasnt me... but if that person wants to offload any maroon bodykit items from the crashed line (ie rear bumper and after some 400R side skerts) id be willing to take them off their hands.

"One less ugly coloured skyline off the road =P"

Ugly colour -- what the -- its closer to red than most other colours.. so that means it goes faster!!!

Why is there so much aggression between fellow skyliners, ive read some posts that are less than friendly. Were all ment to be enthusiests, just some people have different oppinions.

My opinion is that i was not a very sensible driver as a youngster but since i have grown and matured so has my driving. Now when a fellow driver tries to drag me from the lights i just ignore and watch them blow away knowing that more often than not there one corner away from being caught. In saying that not all older people are mature, i had some idiot the other day the pulled a handbrakie right infront of me on a crowded road and took of in the other direction only to pull over about 300m up the road. The stupid thing about it though was that he was not alone, there were to girls with him so he is not only endangering his own life but others aswell. Some people really need to learn the hard way, and unlucky for this driver he did perhaps he will thinik about it before he tries it again.

well said hr32.

actions talk, bullshit walks.

thats one thing that f**ks me off on this site. People preach about driving sensible(which is the good thing to do). Im sure they do some dumb shit through the week and refrain from posting it on this site dont they? They just fill in time pretending to be noble and responsible and write someone else off!

get a life idiots!

Mate i do some dumb shit yeh......BUT i don't go and post it up on here, so yeh i do refrain for posting it up here because i don't think everyone needs to know the stupid shite i do!

If you have been written off by someone for something stupid that you have done/posted, then it's probably your own fault, most people on here just wanna keep it sensible so others that look on here can't give US or ME or YOU or any other import/worked car a BADDER name than we already have!

good call

They make for some great Beery Pub stories, but!

Fact is this - Every driver out there on the road is unsafe at some point in time whilst driving and 'in control' of their vehicle,

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
