Got a pleasant phone call this morning ...

I had some idiot road worker challenge me to a fight yesterday morning on the way to work.

I pulled out onto a main road leading into the city (Port Road) and road workers had closed 2 of the 3 lanes down, creating absolute havoc with morning peak hour traffic. One driver let me pull out of the side street, but the cars were barely moving. I know at one stage I shook my head at the stupidity it all. I moved about 30m from the point where I pulled out onto the main road. I recalled as I pulled out, there was a worker with the stop/slow sign there. Well I notice this guy walking up to my car (he walked 25m or so to get to me). When he gets near my car, he just stands there with the same posture a 'bouncer' at a nightclub would and from the corner of my eye I see he's just staring at me.

When I look at him, he mouths off something to me. I wind down my window and ask what he said, and he says "what are you f**king shaking you head at for mate?" quite aggressively. Now this guy is a typical bogan, so he's really acting tough in front of his work mates. And the conversation went something like:

Him: "What are you f**king shaking your head at for mate?"

Me: "I thought that would be obvious"

Him: "You got a f**king problem mate?"

Me: "I think everyone here has a problem with the fact you guys have strangled 3 lanes of peak traffic into the city."

Him: "Mate, I've been here since f**king 5 yesterday working my ass off."

Me: "What? Holding a 'stop' sign? You've had 15 hours to finish this work, and you've failed to finish before peak traffic, and now we have to suffer for it."

[At this point he steps back from the car]

Him: "C'mon then, get out. Lets go!"

Me: "You really don't want me to, trust me."

Him: "f**king coward!"

Me: "Yeah well, at least I'll be at work soon and I'll get MY jobs done properly, and not be a f**king idiot about it."

Him: "f**king smash ya!"

Me: "You obviously don't like your job. I'll make a few phone calls when I get to work and fix that up for you."

Him: "You're a f**king c*nt."

Me: "And you guys are f**king idiots for not doing your job properly."

Got to work and reported the incident to 3 departments/businesses involved (including the private company the guy works for). I work in the development and infrastructure industry, so its not too hard to speak to who I need to speak to. Got a phone call later that morning, before my meetings, from a company rep apologising for the incident and they will speak with the person involved. Was funny because the rep said she was sorry if I felt threatened or scared. To which my reply was "I can certainly handle a guy like that. I could have gotten out of my car and thumped the idiot, but then I'd stoop to his level. Figured you guys can teach him the lesson for me."

I'm sure I wasn't the first to shake my head that morning, or the last. I was in the Stagea, so I'm certain the Commodore-loving-bogan singled me out because of my "jap crap". Then stood there and put on a show with the attitude, hoping to manipulate me, and look tough in front of his mates. Well, I don't get manipulated. And because I didn't get out my car, doesn't mean I'm a coward. I just don't want to spend time in court for teaching a foul-mouth feral some manners.

Well got the phone call this morning from the supervisor apologising for the incident and informing me that the employee has been sacked.

:D

Hahaha i've been on the receiving end of similar abuse from drivers when we were re-doing the parking on Plane Tree Drive. Funnily enough my reaction to them was the same as Ruby's was, cop the abuse and deal wit it rationally. Traffic Management when done properly is a breeze, but it was funny how many people wanted to argue the point or even argue with a concrete truck. Simply we worked through the night (1:30am start-12pm finish) to lessen the disruption to the morning traffic (first concrete pour was at 6:30am), but you still got the occassional peanut running late for work, not sticking to the posted traffic management speed, expecting to push through and normally trying to side swipe me on the way through.

haha, ultimate revenge.

I've done a little research and I think I will be able to drive my Sil on the road once I have my license back being that I owned it before the date it went before the court. Cool Bannanas

in response to the NS threads:

wah wah, P plate this, Turbo that, V8 this, september that, wah wah wahhhhhhh

-D

LOL RubyRS4 that seems to happen a lot these days specially near the the new tram tracks on port road...what a nightmare.

Good that guy got the boot, there isn't any need for bogan hostility. Still funny though. I can see him now slinking back to his Datto 120y with a 5k stereo system.

    • 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.
