That's a very good question.

It harks back to primitive man, when we were not only the hunter, but also the hunted. As you all know, eating carrots improves your eyesight. Well, carrots were not readily available tens of thousands of years ago, so man evolved to synthesize carrot in the pancreas. This gave us better night vision to enable us to hunt at night, thus avoiding the apex predator: the sabre tooth tiger. (It also allowed us to hunt wooly mammoth much more effectively)

Of course, the prduction of carrot must be very well regulated in the body, and excess carrot must be discarded, otherwise it can cause other complications (ever seen someone who's taken too many tanning pills? It's a derivative of the same chemical that gives us night vision). In order to rid the body of excess carrot, the body would periodically purge this excess (as well as other toxins).

As manking evolved, he learnt that these toxins could be expelled from the body by ingesting other chemicals which they brewed from fermented vegetable matter. This also had side effects, such as making said men do strange dances, and engage in group hugs with members of other tribes they had never before met. Unfortunately, excessive exposure to these self made chemicals had the effect of diminishing their night vision to such an extent that they almost lost all vision entirely. This was later termed as "being blind drunk", and fortunately is only a temporary affliction.

Of course the meaning is still with us to this day, and so are the carrots.

Even if one has never eaten a carrot, those pieces of carrot still manifest themselves whenever the body has to rid itself of harmful chemicals and toxins.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

geebus......what a thread....lol

what no one mentioned is that third party...covers the persons and thier hospital bills. you need to make sure you get third party property to cover other peoples cars........and no. you cant claim existing damage to a car. so just getting insurance then claiming wont work at all. they will want dates etc and details and you wont be able to talk your way around it.....lesson learnt. get insurance straight away. there is no reason not too, it takes a few minutes over the phone. if you cant afford the insurance on your Liner then dont buy one in the first place.

your gonna have fun chasing that cab driver up and making him pay...sucks to be in your shoes.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
