i naturally assume theyre Sri Lankan or Indian, as 9 out of 10 of the supras i see these days are driven by them and usually have roof wings, many bonnet scoops which dont have holes cut for them and roof vents with the ugliest chrome 17inch rims youve ever seen.

yeah them...

aaaaah Nico Rosberg... who's he race for?

Mercedes GP, alongside M. Schumacher - The Germans

lol personally I don't care if you've got a 600kw GTR, no fucker is driving my car unless I'm 100% confident in their skills.

This lesson was learnt after some guy who claimed to be a "awesome driver" with a 300kw GTSt rode the clutch on my triple plate ORC rx7 and fucked it.

I don't ask to drive other people's cars, and I don't let others drive my car. My car, my mods, only I've driven it long enough to know every little detail about it. You don't, and I don't trust you to treat it the same way I would. Simple as that.

^^ That's fucked man!

Did he fix it? Pay for it?

Same with me, the only ppl I let drive is my mechanics who I know personally.

Also my panel beater, but they know not to 'drive' it, only when moving in and out of the workshop.

+ I wish not to see my panel beater at all, meaning I don't want to have any panel damages.

:(

If I'm in the car to supervise then generally anyone that owns a manual car is welcome to drive. At any stage I can say GTFO.

The people I don't trust are panel beaters and the like... I've only had bad experiences with them. F*ckers used like $40 of fuel when apparently all they did was "move the car around the workshop"

lol dumb kent... i told him "its a bridge ported T88, its got a triple plate... can you handle it?" and he's like "yeah man I know how to drive manual and I have a powerful car". Crunched the gears when shifting to 2nd, 3rd and 4th cos it kept wheelspinning on him, almost dropped him when he finally pulled over.

yeah actually, the people who drive it are my mechanic/panel beater, and the boys who work at the workshop. Cos they all know how to properly drive cars.

Only people that drove my car were

My brother - when it was stock/mildly modified

My mum - when I was overseas for a few months, 250rwkw

RE Customs/mechanics/suspension guys etc

Justin

The guy that bought it didn't even drive it until he had handed over the cheque and was driving back to Sydney...

Yeah even when selling my cars I never allowed test drives. I'd drive them to show them how the car drives and tell em I'm protective of my cars... they usually understand. I've had one guy get all suspicious so I told him to fuck off. No exceptions.

I echo this.

I would never buy a car that I haven't driven. Some people that know their cars really well can hide some faults with their driving. When I went to look at my car the owner drive first then let me drive it so I could do a few tests.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
