how to give modified car enthusiasts a bad name.....


Recommended Posts

by far the worst display of stupidity by them in this quote.

***en awsome cruise we had a mad time goin home on freeway was a mad time 190 in the emergency lane and doging truks tryin 2 run us off road lol

Seriously, these are the clowns that should not be on the road, sure have some fun sometimes. but the line is drawn between fun and stupidity and i dont even have to mention what side these guys are on :), but doing stuff like that is beyond the joke and thats the reason why the cops are so hard on us guys, cause we are sadly in their eyes in the same category.

Please dont ever let me catch any of you guys doing any shit like that, its a discgrace really to calling yourself a car enthusiast.

Sorry bout the rant but i think you know where im coming from.

I couldn't agree more :uh-huh:

must admitt there were some nice cars put what they did was

blo^$y rediculous and just makes life harder for the rest of us

the cops up here already have a dislike for the sydney modified groups and that shat just doesnt help

I seriously hate the whole 'car enthusiasts' tag and the way it is ALWAYS negativly used, by the media and the stupid idiots that cause this heat to be put down on people like us.

The name itself suggest a sense of respect for the machinery that we drive, plus with that respect comes a certain degree of following the road rules, (hey, we all cant be perfect).

But what really gets me is that these....(and I'm about to use a clique here) 'hoons' try to pass themselves off as enthusiasts.....

Really they are bored, stupid, immature little s***s who have no respect for the car that they drive, other people on the road and just general public order.

They all seem to have an inferiority complex about the 'true' car enthusiast....

IF that event in Terrigal was really about car enthusiasts then it would have turned into a mini car show, becuase most people there would have attended to enjoy a nice trip up to a senic place and talk to a few people about a common interest and possibly make a few new friends in the process.....

Well sorry to ramble on, but I felt like I needed to get that off my chest.....

Thank you all for listening....

'I'm Kent Brockman, and that was MY TWO CENTS"

funnily enough after the cruise of friday night up to the same place, the only time we had trouble with the cops was at maccas!!!!! it's my guess that if we never went to maccas that we would not have had any issues!!

pretty funny overall!!!!

guess we wont be going up there anytime soon without any issues, hope this isnt the case!!!

Are these guys serious or just FCKED in the head!

I just read a few pages and they are the biggest bunch of tossers I have ever read posts from. talking about killin cops an stuff. doin 190km/h on the f3? dickheads. I thought it was just the Magazine that was shithouse but now I see the forum isn't any better. too many knobs.

We all have problems with the police, but if you be reasonable and keep calm, just chat with them most of them will be alright. they should try organising with them like last time I went on a cruise to bathurst in a big group, the organiser rang the local cops there and told them we were coming and where to. The supercruises never seem to have any problems I hear. there were heaps of cars there last year.

I think these guys need to step back, and take a look at what it means to be a car enthusiest. maybe re-evaluate how they act on cruises.

They're not enthusiasts, just hoons who just wanna drive fast and don't care about anything.

The comment about dodging rocks and trucks in the emergency lane @ 200k/hr left me lost for words

I was out there (resident of the Coast an all) for some lunch and saw the biggest convoy of circus clowns roll through...

It was a case of:

Rice, rice, rice, oooh that's kinda cool, rice, rice, damn that's low, rice, rice, geez that's loud, rice, etc etc...

(It's interesting they describe the place as a "quiet resort" pffft. Hardly. More like a run-down Coogee.

I tried go through the Haven to check some of the rides out but there were so many arse-monkeys parking all over the road, wandering all over the road, not to mention all those who stopped to talk to their mates thereby blocking the road.

I think the worst aspect of this is the total lack of respect they've shown for the destination, the authorities and the (generally) good name of car enthusiasts and tuners.

Be they hot rodders (unfairly named in newspaper), street machiners (when you say hot rod, mostnon-car people think of V8s) and import/high-tech drivers we've all been impuned by this behaviour.

I hope the police show a similar lack of respect the next time someone like them organises a cruise.

Sorry, rant over...

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
