Let the cops sort it out now.

Both times I have been pranged in ACT was on roundabouts with ignorant or incompetent fu(kers running out of their lane and crumping the side of my car. I made one old d*ckhead stand in the freezing cold for 20 mins until he admitted that 2 lanes onto a roundabout means you stay in your lane all the way through. He was in the left lane and tried to take the shortest route and ran me up onto the roundabout and still hit me. I was turning right so it wasn't any sort of race to beat him through.

Gave me wrong license details and rego was not transferred when he bought it so when I reported to the AFP they were pretty annoyed. I did see his publice service pass in his car so saw where he worked. Went with the cops to his place of work and they grilled him, fined him and that afternoon he paid his excess for the insurance.

BTW I remember that car from my time in ACT and recall he was a complete wanker, but his small dick machine don't cut it against a quick skyline :cheers:

I also believe all states now have anti road rage laws that are very tough, but you need to make a full statement. Melb is so bad now my wife carries a camera in the car as guys really go insane when she accelerates away from them through traffic or off the lights. Mostly idiots in old crappers too so maybe they have extreme envy. She even had a guy in a truck get out to abuse her because she was next to him in traffic and he put his indicator on and started to pull over on her. She blew the horn and he went stupid at her. Of course when he got out the traffic started moving but another guy stopped to see what the truckie was going to do, so the fool got back in the truck.

I guess the moral here is not to be a dick in ACT as it is too small and you get noticed.

Well done andrew.

There are so many wankers like that around, and all of us wish at times we could take a bat to there head! excuse my french ...haha.

The fact that he was jumping on the brakes like that and then stop his car, says it all!

Dick head!Similar things have happened to me, but it seems to be a jelousy thing.

Speaking of Idiots in falcons. While driving home on that road that goes around the front of black mountain into civic I saw a shiny new XR6T that had slammed into the guard rail. Front of the car was toast, gotta love those crumple zones... and we are the demographic that pays by far the most for insurance, some people gotta bloody learn to drive :)

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
