the above fiat driven by an old guy ... he had parked earlier in the day as shown in the picture, i thought it was dodgy and took a photo incase i found any marks on my car when i finished work, eneded up taking a break early in the arvo to see old man sitting in his car thought perfect i'll watch him, then literally watched him swing his car around and clip the side of my car while reversing, ran after him and got some spiel how he was '80yo and needs to drive carefully and would have felt if he had hit me' and that 'its nothing, will buff out etc..'

already made a claim, all i have to do is take the car to a couple of panel shops for quotes- because i can name the car and witnessed the whole thing i dont pay excess, as it clearly wasnt my fault - was parked well within the space, he was over the line and way too close to my car to begin with. Had i needed to get into my car i couldn't have from that side.

Good thing you spotted it, he probably alzimered it away while talking to him lol

rofl alzheimered it away gold....

(pictures scene from star wars) old man ; "this isn't the fiat you're looking for" *waves hand at self.

nie 1 i never thought of doing that when i park... maybe i should start. not a bad idea.

also audi on top gear ftw!!!!

im not sure it would have worked if i hadn't witnessed it happen, as i couldn't prove it was his car that did the damage, but its better than nothing.

my borther and dad are in love with those cars, they said they saw so many of them in europe (the got back 6 days ago)

if it left paint you probably could, match paint scraping etc. i know it would probably cost money, buts still.

hopefully insurance would cover that.

I hate jerks that drive off without leaving details etc,

i witnessed a guy reverse his camry hard into some other car, he started to drive of, so i yelled and and stopped him, i said leave details etc,

got out and put paper under wiper, and drove off,

i walked ovet to find a blank bit of paper left behind...

stupid me hadnt thought of remembering plates, they are scum

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
