i also don't expect people to be like me (running out of car to re-arrange offender/s face) but to stand you're ground, and not to let things like that intimidate you, but do tell me what to do when they persist and you have to take an alternative route home/work etc, or causing you to excellerate more putting yourself AND THEM as well as 'other' motorists at risk of an accident.

i'm sure the boys in blue would be interested in the traffic hold up, when you're outta the car having a word/going off at the offenders not to mention other motorists that 'might' (you never know) be more than happy to help, especially another skyline driver/friend/relative that might see the whole thing.

i guess what i'm trying to say is not to get out of you're car with a weapon and go on a rampage, just approach that person especially the driver, you'll find their ruff/tough/mucho ego's dissapear.

Here's what I do when being pestered by Bogans. Look in their direction briefly once to acknowledge that you have noticed them. Then look straight ahead and raise your right hand up to your forehead with a clenched fist and make several forward and backward motions.

The Bogans will then have to go away and find somebody with a complete brain to ask what this meant. A normal person will able to clue them up to the fact that "He was saying that you're a Dickhead", at which time they will get very angry, but i'm long gone and quite probably still laughing.

Well it works for me.......

whytry: hey I wasnt having a go at you, dont get me wrong, its just that I dont have that option, and yes you are right, being a female does allow me a certain amount of leeway. but then again, what do I do if I get a serious nutter going off their brain and threatening me on the road?? Like I said I dont know, if it happens to me I will sure let you know! I definately didnt intend to offend you, and if I did , I apologise (gees, a female that can apologise???!!! hahahaha)

Hey Guy's and Gal

I'm divided, It's a situational thing. You will all make the right choice at the time. Retrospectively it doesn't matter - you made a choice.

Personally for me I like to think 99.9% of the time I ignore idiots. On the odd occasion I can't. I'll do what it takes.

Til you get a psycho bogan with no respect for yours, his own, or anyone elses property, and who knows what this means. Whoops.

Ignorance is bliss, best ignoring people like all the above.

Ahhh, the psycho bogan. Now this guy will probably want to do all of the above mentioned anyway, just cause you and your superior veee-hicle happened to exist in the same time and place as him and his bogandore.

That's why many a savvy motorist has taken up the sport of baseball and conveniently carries their equipment in the car, just for those special occasions when someone can't take a hint. :devil2:

Or of course, there's the ignoring him option.........

LL cool J in deep blue sea: as i walk through the valley of death, i shall fear no evil, for i am the baddest otherfu**er in the valley and i carry an AXE!!! lol

im more on ewans side here though, who cares if a fu**er pays you out, have a laugh about it.....make a thread about it, and remind yourself how pathetic they are.

but if worst comes to worst be prepared to protect yourself, hence the 7iron that now resides in my boot. for those of you that know me, you'll know most guys are a bit taller than me, and i wouldnt really intimidate them, but i guess if it came down to it and they were my size, i'd have no problems dropping them, but its treally not me anyway, i'd rather let them think they scared me and let it go.

I'd get in trouble if i took someone out who was harassing/assaulting me. having a black belt in taekwondo makes the cops look down on you if you use 'self defence' too strongly.

it is handy for subduing people though. wrist locks and arm bars are so effective.

Or maybe we could remember that ancient Oriental chant that goes something like..."The path of da Skyline is beset with peril by the injustices of the speed camera

& da tyranny of learner drivers. Blessed is he who shats on da HSV through

the valley of hair pin turns, 4 he is truly his cars tuner & the finder of

lost power & I shalt strike down with great boost & furious acceleration on

whoever doth attempt 2 obstruct or delay my overtaking & u shalt feel da

wrath of my turbocharged engine when I lay my tread marks upon thee"...with slight apologies to Samuel L. Jackson...

hahaha great jayce, laughed very very muchly!!!

Terminal, your probably just a ******runs out of room and hides in bushes hoping he doesnt come looking for me* lol j/ks, i'd love a to know some sort of matial art, enough to be able to defend myself against an angry, big, tongan or something.

you have to warn people who are starting trouble, 3 times before you can touch them correct? and im guessing your photo and details are listed with the AFP?

I've never heard anything about that. if people have a go at me, i take them down. it rarely happens, there's always an easier way of getting out of a fight, but some people are just jerks and need to be taught a lesson.

i've always been taught if you're in that situation, let them hit you once first, then you can kick their arse

ok it was my understanding that anyone who has acheived a blackbelt in a martial art must be on record with the police, stating that they have acheived this rank.

its basically to say that once you have acheived black, you are easily capeable of killing someone without weapons, and if you do something brutal to someone, the cops have your abilities on file.

and its also my understanding that you have to give them 3warnings before hitting them unless they attack you. oh well, i'd still love to have the knowledge that i have that ability under my belt. (pardon the pun)

Hehe, fair enough then. Taekwondo is more of a sport the way i train for it, as seen at the Olympics style. I have a massive certificate, and i'm registered in Korea as achieving the rank, but no one ever told me i have to register myself as a 'deadly weapon'

It does mean if i use 'self defence' that the amount of reasonable force for me will be a lot less than that of someone without training

Haha I had an interesting one the other day, was driving my mum's Excel (ugh), the piece of shit coughed and spluttered and meant I had trouble taking off from the lights. A bloke in a silver late model Magna was behind me, obviously upset that I'd impeded his progress, yelled out the window "come on you ditzy farkin bitch!!". Obviously he couldn't see me through the louvres and Winnie the Pooh merchandise (yes it's a very tough car), so he was very surprised when a a solid 6ft bloke with a shaved head leaned out the window, gave him the finger and said, through gritted teeth, "GO F*CK YOURSELF". He just wound the window back up and patiently waited for me to get the shitbox going again :) Not so tough when someone stands up to them.

The best one though was when a mate of mine in his Corolla was being harassed by some bogans in an XF wagon. They stopped at a set of lights, four of them got out of the car and made their way over to the Rolla. Mate just smiled and said "I wouldn't do anything stupid if I were you", and pointed at the 45-odd people who were on the same cruise as him :bahaha: :P

LTSJase: Quality :D

so he was very surprised when a a solid 6ft bloke with a shaved head leaned out the window, gave him the finger and said, through gritted teeth, "GO F*CK YOURSELF".

bahaha classic :P i dont really have any dodgy stories i havent been abused well except once in the pulsar i was pulling out of a drive way which is on a steep hill i checked both ways went out as i was like 3/4 way out a pintara comes over the hill doing like 90km's and had to brake naturally i took off as quick as i could see he didnt have to stop then wehn we got to a stop sign later he leans out the window and says "if you do anythinglike that again i will smash you" i am ahhh like ok what pull out of a driveway ??? anyways he went off in his direction and i went off in mine :)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
