^^^^^ what makes it good with doing a friendly thing like that is the sour pissed off look of the person in the mirror hahah

But sometimes you don't get that in return when your trying to merge is something that pisses me off. So I drive like a bull out of a gate when I am in a heap of public servant traffic.

I'm with Bren - gotta be an aggressive driver and be aware of all the dickheads around you. Can't get away with driving sedately in this town during peak hour, you'll end up being eaten alive.

Athlon and drakeford lights ............ T-bone accident at about 7.30am

There will be a road rage incident if this keeps up

BTW - I am not a calm driver. I would not say aggressive either tho.

Fkn pissed off = yes

I don't know.... I seem to be very calm. If someone cuts me off, I don't care, if someone lets 5 cars in, I don't care. If someone is stopped at the lights and I don't get to go through becuase they're sitting there on the green... I don't care. I guess I'm a very chilled person. I may make a comment if cut off or whatever, but it's not full on guns blazin'. Generally speaking, Canberra drivers seem to be a lot better than most around Australia (except for when it rains - everyone turns into an old lady driving 20kms under).

I'm a public servant and most of the time I'm in a rush - but I strategically place myself in better lanes so I avoid the "1 bllink-indercater cut off".

I usually only rage when people:

- Drive slow in the right hand lane or don't overtake

- Overtake and slow down

- Take a shortcut and drive slow (Lady Denman Drive)

Driving slower in the left hand lane is okay (not ridiculously slow though). Basically driving needs to be predictable. You can a shortcut to get some where quicker.

I'm with you^

I circumvent the road into the city near the lake/black Mtn to avoid the 60km zone where their doing all the road works (traffic travels a lot slower than 60km F#@cking C#NTS !) .

So do others and you know what - the c#cksuckers go just as slow. FFS stay on the main road you B!tches...

The road around the lake has some awesome windy bits with good camber - it's a race track.........................

Why everyone decides to slow down to form one lane ill never know, but Christ its annoying.

Helga, I would street fight a person if I didn't get through the lights coz they took off slow or I got cut off. You must be as calm as a Hindu cow behind the wheel...

I'm mad as hell.

Took well over an hour to get to work this morning.

Had to double back from just past woden turnoff to tuggers and come in via Woden to the city.

I hate to be callous but it had better have been good ones (many multiple fatality's).

Not just drivers too stupid to get there damaged cars off the road and gawkers. FFS

Yeah as I said. Im angry as. Shoot me !

Anyone know really WTF happend ?

So it took you 30 mins not 10? :laugh:

haha pretty much ! There is only one thing that makes me rage hardcore and that's a game called HoN. I go mental, everything else I seem to not care enough to get worked up. I do drop the mumbling "idiot" here and there though.

Purely because they cannot seem to comprehend the fact that you merge one from the left, then one from the right, and so on.

It's usually some annoying b*tch in a small car that thinks she has right of way above all, so then people have to brake to compensate.

Personally, as I've done before, I'll push people like that up the curb by turning towards their car

This. There are 2 significant occasions of "form one lane" for my drive home from work, and consistently at both of them there will always be someone who forces their way past me after the 2 lanes technically end....what the f**k?! Or should I say "attempts" to force their way past, as lately I'm taking your approach Tom by moving right over on top of them to force them to brake or bail further to the side.

f**k them.

best ever. I was going up Monaro where it goes right onto fairbairn ave and then left onto Majura. I was the front car with a truck behind me. right as i turned left to go onto the slip lane to go onto majura an rx8 comes flying up (past a 50+m gap between me and the truck) and tries to just cut infront of me. I just doubled down into second and planted it. he had to slam on brakes so he wouldn't hit the fking lights and then went behind me. Tried to take me at the first roundabout on majura and couldn't. On the second roundabout i saw a cop way ahead and let him past. he sped past me, gave me the finger and flawwed it. Little bit later i stroll past him gettign pulled over by the cop. Made my fking year.

Can't stand rude pricks like that on the road.

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

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
