Thinking about doing a runner from cabbie.......

http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/553357...ie-boy-run-down

Cab drivers are scum!

Try riding a bike around the city at night. I've had a few mates intentionally hit by these pricks. Hit and runs are part of their job description. :O

With satelite tracking of all their vehicles and their log system today, shouldn't be too hard finding the attempted-murderer. If they can't, then you gotta suspect their covering bad drivers.

Sorry ... I hate, hate, hate cab drivers.

I shouldn't laugh but I had to......

Yes Damo extremely extreme imo

:O

And "Fully custom dyno tune" ?

Ebay are cocks! Been suspended for not paying an invoice ... which WAS paid 3 weeks ago. Not the first time this has happened. Their bookkeeping must suck ass. :)

My reply:

Dear disorganised payables department,

If you reconciled your accounts correctly you would have noticed this amount had been paid. 3 weeks ago in fact. This is not the first time you've suspended me for no reason at all, except that YOU got it wrong ... again! I know its real hard for you to match the numbers (again!) but with less porn downloading and more attention to your job, you might just get there one day.

Here is the reference (for the second time for THIS invoice) from my bank statement:

9 Apr 2009 DEBIT CARD PURCHASE EBAY INTL AG - AU 888-749-3229 AUS 55.98

Check your statements before suspending someone for no reason! Its a very simple business practice.

LOL! they certainly are a bunch of knobheads..... Ebay's new feedback system doesn't allow a seller to give negative feedback anymore, so when I had a no payer guess what...... I couldn't do sweet FA about it yet I get some smart arse (buyer from France) who opens a Paypal dispute against me because his capacitors didn't arrive within the week! Funds would not clear until he (the buyer) closed the dispute....

I wonder how high the bill has to be before they go through scary means to reconcile?

For a company thats an over-million dollar turnover business, we reconcile every 2 weeks. Ebay would have to do that minimum. 3 weeks its been! So they've missed it. How the hell they survive is any wonder. This is the 6-7 time I've been thru this in 3 years! I've already changed accounts 2 times for an assumed "unpaid bill". One account I kept paying, but they bounced the funds back (never gave an explanation) and kept adding a stupid $12 or so admin fee for it, so the bill went up and up, so I opened another account. f**k em!

As a bookkeeper and office manager myself, it shits me to bits that they're so disorganised. And thats just with me, how many other poor souls are just paying the bill again and again without knowing, simply because they don't like being suspended? :O

iv had that problem aswell ruby pubey.....

Sucks doesn't it Craigy waigey! :)

yeh got it in an email today, sick shit, over $20! Even thought he is in the wrong and half deserved some pain for doing a runner anyway, running him over is a tad extreme.

before we judge all cabbie's as useless twats lets review,

many years ago i was with a drug fked mate who used to do this sort of thing with out even telling you so before you knew it hes running and you have to follow suit or look like a twat explaining why your cashed up mate bailed, one day the cabbie asked if we minded if he stopped i forget for what reason but my mate decides to go through his car and finds a bank plastic envelope the clear sort with $50 $20 $10 printed on them full of folding stuff i reckon there was like $600 in it he shows me and goes lets run so yeah that's my story, and i think compassion on both sides is needed sure the cabbie shouldn't of done that but put in pressured situations even a sane mad can do silly things

haha. stooges. i hate ebay and paypal, they all suck

Trading Post now has an ebay style of running there website

I'm with you there Ben and especially, as Talbo said, the 2+ abreast riders that have no concern for their own safety..........unfortunately, if you were stationary in the middle of the road, turning right into a side street, and he in fact was going straight in a designated bike lane (not splitting lanes), guess who had 100% right of way?

A couple of years ago the wife was in this exact scenario, except she was in her Laser in the left hand car slip-lane coming to turn left from Muller's Road onto Main North Road at Sefton Park. The normal 2 lanes of traffic were full of stationary cars and she went down the left hand slip lane in order to turn left. Some stupid woman turned straight in front of her between the 2 stationary rows of cars and Carolyn T-boned her. Guess what - 100% the other lady's fault, as Carolyn was travelling in a straight line in her lane, and the other woman pulled out in front of her and Carolyn had no way to see her prior, nor to stop.

I can't see how this bike scenario is any different. The turning car is the one who has to give way 100%. The bike travelling in a straight line has to give way to NO-ONE. Regardless of what a cop on the phone told you Ben, I think you would find you would be the vast majority if not 100% in the wrong.

I make a point to NEVER pull between stationary cars to turn - even if they leave you a gap to do so - it is just too risky if you can't see who you are pulling out in front of. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean a cyclist or motorcyclist isn't there.

Nope. Transport SA says "Although the law gives you the same rights and responsibilities as other road users, all road users may not be aware of this. You are more easily injured than motor vehicle occupants are and it is therefore safer for you to be highly visible and look out for other road users when riding. The law does not give anyone indisputable right of way. Do not assume that another road user is going to give way"

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
