He's very very lucky...

i agree it might be a tottaly unrelated event, but still, have a little respect for the situation that they are in, if i was attending an accident with a possible death, and someone crack the funniest joke in the world, i sure as hell wouldnt be laughing
I can see how people think this way, but having worked in hospitals pretty much ever since I left school, and before that, having a nurse for a mother, you get a pretty good insight into what these people (emergency workers) go through. Have a little respect for THEM.

You cannot go moping around every single time a tragedy happens, when you see as many as they do it would tear you apart mentally. What you have to do is distance yourself from the situation, try not to think too much about the "omg he was someone's son" aspect of things. Everyone has a different way of coping with a traumatic event, for some people (myself included actually) one such coping mechanism is to laugh at it. Not at the event, but at the trauma, the upset, and whatever other feelings are trying to bring you down at the time. The act of laughing, even if it is at nothing in particular, can help to nullify the effects of a very traumatic event.

Also, sometimes the laughter is a REACTION to the trauma. I've been in a children's ward when a young child has died after a long battle with a serious illness, and two of the staff in the room got the giggles. They weren't laughing - they were in fact crying hysterically - but mammoth amounts of built-up stress with a sudden release can give those kinds of results.

I see what you mean. Obviously, i havn't really had any experince with these things, but i just looked innapropriate, given the situation. i guess, you have to give a bit of leeway for emergency personal, as they have to deal witht these situations pretty much every day, and they cant allow themselves to be tramatised by it. thanks for clearing that up Marc

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
    • 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.
