I hate taxi drivers, I always avoid them on the road, because once one pulled out in front of my g/f and she could not avoid hitting the taxi in the side. Not only did they refuse to accept responsibility, they made up a fake witness to say that it was my g/f's fault, and threatened legal action unless we agreed to pay them out a few thousand dollars. We had only 3rd party at the time and luckily the insurance company refused their claim, but we never did get our car fixed, oh well it was only a 1978 corolla but it was still the principle of the thing!

My old man used to own a cab.

When the car is off the road due to an accident, they loose a hell of a lot of money.

It is an inconvenience for them more so than it would be for you.

Trying to make money in a cab these days is quite difficult.

There is not a lot of money at all involved.

But hell.. Don't worry about the fines etc.

Go to court and pay $5 per week and still save for your schoolies week or what ever it is.

i must admit .. no offence to your dad joel .. but i farkin hate taxi drivers with a passion LOL .. they piss me off all the time .. think they own the road ... just an hour ago going to the pizza shop to get food .. stopped at the traffic lights ... which was next to a petrol station .. taxi decides that he goes out of the petrol station and just squeezes in front of me just as the light goes green .. didn't even indicate or wait for me to acknowledge that i've seen him ... i've had so many incidences with them .. and my friend ... he got hit by one ... he was stationary .. u won't beleive what they try to do to get away from paying ... so many excuses ... he even try to say that there was damage on the car before he hit it ... how would he know?? did he go out and inspect my friends car before it happened??? but its what he did in the end which really pisses me off .. he ran away .. cant' be found ... wtf??

they all know how to get away from these things ...

Why is he a "****ing taxi driver" then? You're the one that caused the accident?

get over it ay.

the only reason i side swiped him was i was strugglin to get out of my position cause he parked so damn close to my front bumper. therefore the angle at which i left the kerb was way too shallow to clear him

Working last night one cab driver was just asking to be hit.

He could have avoided the situation.

A van was reversing away from where he put petrol in when a cab driver stopped behind him at a 90degree angle.

The Van reversed for 3 seconds heading towards the cab. I was wating for the Cab to select reverse and get out of there before he got hit. I could see the cab driver was looking straight at the van watching it coming for him.. BANG!!.. I couldn't help but laugh watching the whole thing. When the cab driver came in i asked why he didn't reverse as he had heaps of time.

He stated "I don't know"... Stupid idoit..

Me?? Mate, I think it's YOU that should "get over it ay"...

You caused an accident, because you obviously can't judge distances, and you call the innocent party a "****ing taxi driver" :P:D:)

i hit a son of a bitch right in the door with my first car. it was a silvia. Yes, i was speeding but he pulled out of a service station with out looking, i couldnt stop in time.... the dick didnt even realise i hit him he drove off 1km down the road them must come to his sensors and reversed back another 1km. i think he was lookin at a "people" mag cos i spotted one in his cab.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
