pretty full on - similar to mine. work full time, CPA just started, working on a couple of business opportunities, working with a couple of guys to buy into a franchise, training for fitness, property and shares review (although this could be considered as time to myself).

but i sure as hell dont go chucking wrenches and stuff on the roads.....

think people just need to chill out a bit more.....

make it harder to get and keep your licence - problem solved.

I agree. It's way too easy to get a license thesedays. I passed my test after doing just 20 hours on my L's. It wasn't until after I got my license that I actually learnt to drive adequately.

There are so many drivers out there making stupid mistakes on the roads, and it all comes down to simple things like checking your mirrors and indicating. Were people not taught these things when they were learning? :P

Cyclists... 2+ taking up an entire lane always shits me. Especially those wankers every Sat morning down beach road or whatever that roads called... even i had the occasional day dream of stealing a car and plowing through them all. I remember going down there on 2 occasions doing over time for work on the weekend and being stuck behind them cause they were taking up BOTH lanes at 10kmh.

If drifters and drag racers cant use the road for their hobby why can these tards take up an entire road to do theirs (other then the obvious reason that it doesnt endanger other peoples lives directly).

I do need help for my road rage tho... although i never act out at other people in a dangerous way, all i do is high beaming them or give them the finger with the occasional brash comment lol

Yeah I know what you mean about cyclists taking up a lane. I have some friends who are cyclists and I brought this up with them, the explanation was they do it so cars HAVE to go around, not cut close to them and sneak past. They say that a lot of cars cut too close and some clip them so they take up the whole lane instead. It STILL pisses me off but I think the real fix it dedicated bike lanes and paths, just get them off the road. They should NOT mix with cars.

If people learn to:

Merge

Not block the right hand lane

Look left and right BEFORE reaching an intersection

Not ride in the middle of the lanes

Stay out of the right hand lane if driving a truck

Then there might not be so many road rage incidents

Our licences are too easy to get, and to keep. Far too easy... It rained this morning, and I saw the aftermaths of at least 3 accidents. Learn how to drive, or get off the road :rolleyes:

The majority of melbournes motorists are a bunch of brain dead idiots who spend more time looking at their speedo rather than where they are going. They are inconsiderate and most have as much road sense as a dog. The best bit is these idiots teach their kids to drive...

all states are bad, but drive around sydney and people acknowlege they are not the only car on the road and make an effort to flow. they all sit on or above the speed limit.

it is proven that not keeping left causes cancer. true story.

i agree, there is an article in the new top gear australia magazine about how easy it is to get your licence hear compared to in europe, also about that on the autobahn that people will stick to there lanes and while driving at these speeds traffic flows nicely and also will keep you concentrating considering your usally doing about 160km/h. also the best thing is you get fines for tailgating which i think is the best thing ever i wish we had that hear instead of stupid speed cameras everywhere.

anywho i also suffer from raod rage but not at a point where i would get out of my car and do anything i just get really frustrated and will flash my lights and the occasional finger and stuff like that but sometimes after driving i need to take some deep breaths to calm down and lower my heart rate cause i get so angry. for starters old people are really annoying they dont have a clue where they are and dont even know that there are anybody else on the road i have nearly had my car smashed into because they never look and just drift over and damn they drive slow holding up everyone. also im sick of slow people sitting in the right lane not overtaking and wrecking everyone cause they wont move until its nearly single lanes and they pick up there speed so they just make it past the other car. and finally truck drivers, ive had my window cracked from a truck decideing to pull out on a 100km/h road in front of me making me hit my brakes and he flings up rocks. also when they cut straight through roundabouts and the way they speed is ridiculous i saw one doing easily about 80 in a 50 zone when i was going to work today he sat in the right lane overtaking people at speeds that were way to unsafe in a built up area like that. they think they own the roads and should really learn some respect for other motorists.

sorry about the long speach but i really needed to get some of that off my chest i do have more to say but that will do i think. ;)

ps. just today i saw someone go through an intersection with pedestrian crossing at easily over 100km/h with a speed limit of 50 he went that fast that my car shook and i couldnt even get his licence plate.

ok well i can understand that reasoning but at the same time it is actually against the rules of the road. If they do it for sport or training then they need to do what we all have to do and go to designated areas where theyre not endangering themselves and others.

I generally dont have an issue with a couple of riders out getting some exercise, but when theyre in a massive group they should be prepared for some backlash if theyre going to block lanes.

Have you guys driven down beach road on a Saturday or Sunday morning? The amount of cyclists is insane - there's hundreds - and sometimes they'll take up the entire road and you have to get on the horn just to get them to let you through.

Then if you look next to the road there is a designated bike path! :cool: Why not use it?

Eeeeeerm no, it's actually not against the rules of the road. 2 abreat is legal, more than that deserve to be run down. Hey I agree with you but it's legal.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
