OK here's a legal solution...

There does exist a veterinary product that you are allowed to carry.

It's a Pepper spray to shoo-off aggressive dogs. It acts quicker than Mace. It has less after-effects than Mace

It has a median range of 3 metres. It's a single use only item.

go figure as to whether you can distinguish between the 2 legged or 4 legged variety...

As bad as it is, I actually do carry a Swiss Army knife around in my car at all times. Chances are I'll never have to use it, but if things started to get really nasty then I'd whip it out as a warning for them to back off. No, I wouldn't stab someone, unless my life was in critical danger and it was the only way to prevent myself from getting killed.

I used to think like this, but have changed my mind.

Having a weapon to "keep me safe" is a huge can of worms.

The problem with this sort of thing is, unless you are well versed in the use of said weapon, in a pressure situation it could easily end up in the hands of your attacker.

Much better that no one carries weapons, i.e. knives, and those that do; regardless of their intent, are treated extremely harshly, i.e MASSIVE fines for possesion, and MANDATORY jailterms if you use one. If no one carries knives; no hot head can lose his cool and stab someone, "He said something to my mate so I cut him". Knives do so much damage, think carefully before you carry one.

That said, why carry a Swiss Army Knife?

The penalties are the same, regardless of the blade, why not have a 7" blade, with a proper grip.

Do some damage instead of "Back off punk, or I'll cut you with my, hang on, while I pull out the blade, nope, that's the magnifying glass, hang on, nope, thats the scissors, ahh f##k! :D .

+1!

I believe just before they banned knives to be carried on people in NSW that there was some research done, and it was found something like 70 to 80% of stabbing victims were stabbed by their own knife.

I'd believe that.

I think lots of people imagine flashing a knife at someone is going to be like the scene in Crocodile Dundee, and the baddie's will run away, leaving you looking like a hero.

The reality is often VERY different. :devil:

Lying in an empty carpark, writhing in agony, with your own knife sticking out of your abdomen, bleeding to death, would be a very sad way to die.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
