I read it alright.

You just have no f**kin idea do you? I mean really, I ask a simple question and you have to belittle. I thinks it's pretty obvious at least to me who the simpleton is.

You Rhys make me literally LOL!

IMO Drag strips and street racing is 2 different things. Drag racing is organised, street racing is 'the heat of the moment' sort of thing. You spot a car you want to give a squirt against (or vice versa) - you're not gonna wind down your window and say "see you at the drags". Besides, street racing is more "fun" to most. Im not condoning street racing, but this is how it is. But +1 to a drag strip here. When I was in Sydney, having accessible circuits and drag strips was great to get it outta the system from time to time! Adelaide has f**k all!

OK, I've bitten my lip long enough and have tried very hard to stay out of this thread but unfortunately, too many of you just can't help yourselves.

As much as there is some connection with all that's being posted, the point is, the title of this thread has been missused and abused.......we've somehow brought politics and dragstrips into the discussion and although there's some link there, it's not appropriate at this time.......feel free to start a Mike Rann/Dragstrip political style of thread if you so wish, but stay outta here.

I've been speaking to a friend of the deceased via PM and have been informed that family members will be viewing this thread.....so a little respect please.

As of this post, anymore of this banter will either see deletion or cause this thread to be locked (which I don't really want to do). The other alternative is that you'll feel me........and not in a peverted way either.

I reckon I speak on behalf of all Mods & Admins when I say that our thoughts and prayers go out to all family members.

I wont say anything as I've already expressed myself on here with similar discussion before so,

RIP, and to the other driver and occupants hope they pull up ok after this.

We all make bad decisions, some are worse than others. Condolences to Minhs family and all those affected.

RIP to the deceased and hopefully a speedy recovery to the 33 driver, but thats what you get when you act like idiots. Ive only just got my P's and last Friday i just bought a turbo supra, im going to be f**king pissed if i cant drive now due to idiots ruining it for the rest of us.

you've just got your p's and straight away bought a turbo supra... if i was you i wouldnt start calling them idiots after having license only for one day myself...

what?

i cant even remember what i posted, didnt i just say well said or something to martins post? the guy made a good point, i agreed, whats the problem with that?

over-moderation much?

listen very carefully before you accuse me of over moderating and be very carefull what you post next......what part of this statement don't you understand.......refer back to the title of this thread and start your own thread if you must.

I'm not interested in any well said or +1 crap inserted into other peoples politically or morally motivated posts in this particular thread........you've got no idea how many PM's I've had to deal with this arvo because of this thread.

EDIT: and Rocky, you may think that you're helping but you're only aggrevating the situation mate

u cant expect everyone to make a point to read every post u make, so before u start concocting some conspiracy in ur head about me trying to beat the system, maybe just sit back and take some time to think first.

well now you know sunshine so you've got no further excuses

Stop arguing about what is a good post or not, related, whatever. This is getting out of hand.

Did Minh own a silver R32 before which turned out to be two cars welded together? Might be a closer connection then I thought. Hits home a bit, and hate to sound like a broken record but RIP, hope the other drivers come out ok (sound pretty messed up on last nights news), and hope all family and who knew him cope ok.

EDIT: I usually stay out of these kinds of topics because I don't know the victims, but feel this was closer to me.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
