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"

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
