Heres a perfect example why cops crack down on import drivers..


Recommended Posts

it was the 'i was coming around the corner doing 180kmh and i swerved to miss a wombat' (in the original post, the unedited one) bit that made me believe you were driving, if you were in the passenger seat of that car, you wouldnt be posting right now, nobody was in the passenger seat..  

dont talk sh!t  

delete the thread

????

profit

We have all made f**k ups before but trying to cover it up is an insult to the intelligence of the community that frequent these forums

I'd say cueball in the pix was the driver (that's if Capt MCCR is telling truth). He's looking upset.

Would also extend hypothesis to old farmer Joe just towed them out with his ute, muttering something about damm kids, never did that in my day etc

er no he was in the car, i remember cos i was there when the call came in when he was trying to source a bodyshell for insurance.

Didn't do a very good job of the number plate.. its either PEx-x33 or BEx-x22 and the 2nd x could either be a 9 or an 8 .. black GTS-T .. cops could pick it up pretty quick on their system..  

When he's back in the defect state an EPA notice could be a bit of a bummer with that turbo there..

jesus guys, ease up i wasnt even driving..

i admittedly was a bit ambiguous in the first posts, and at the time i was mashed up on pain killers from being hit by the tree (i was on passenger side), i found a rather amusing side to it, but posted it to show the importance of having a cage.

i realise im lucky to be alive, the cage saved my life, but its done now, and rather than sooking and crying like a girl i was quite pumped at the fact that i was still alive..

so, before jumping to conclusions guys, realise i wasnt driving and i was the one that took thr brunt of the hoit..

and yes, its painful and yes im still sore..

lucky for these painkillers im still walking.. actually floating around hehe.

Guys just for a bit of inside info, I was there (not in the car) but Mark (MCCR Pres) was not driving and was in the car to try and keep the guy test driving the car from driving too hard. But due to over zelos driving on the part of the driver (who i will not name) the car is now a right off. but the engine is still perfect and in the end that is the main part of the car.

Only 5 people where there

hmm maybe... i wasn't sure which mark it was... hence the comment on the first post... my apologies... in that case I know of 2 marks that wrote a car off interstate... lol

Amber - that quote u posted from mccr was totally UNTRUE. i never said at ANY stage that i was driving.. sheesh.. i left it ambiguous yeah but no no no no no no i wasnt driving and yes yes yes im an idiot for gettin in the passenger seat..

leave it at that, and do me a favour, tell the other forums i wasnt driving either im sick of defending myself..

it really annoys me when people jump to conclusions.

and no im not just trying to cover it up.

if i was stupid enuf to crash it, id have not said a damn word!

LOL

are ya gonna sign up on all the other boards this has been posted on to clear your name 2??

Last time i checked u have 5 more new ones to sign up for :thumbsup:

well if morons didnt jumpt to conclusions and post shit woithout the full story then i wouldnt have anything to worry about

    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
