lol this happened to me just the other day. this orange xr8 ute came flying. i just pulled over and let him go. The last thing i want is to get rear ended. even tho it wouldnt be my fault, i just dont have the time to chase up insurance claims and have the car off the road.

A until they hassle me.

C if they tailgate REAL close and are giving the bird etc.

D if they obviously wanna get past, but aren't being tools about it.

Ditto. 'cept also watching their behaviour in answer A will play a big part in the rest. ie. If they look like they're on LSD or drunk I'll get the hell outta the way no matter what and that's a given.

Screwed if I'm getting hit by an uninsured deadshit.

A....

If they tail gate then i slow right down... Because i want to give them the extra stopping distance if i need to stop....

In my old car, i hit the brakes really hard once when i was being tail gated really bad and he was gonna kill me... He pulled out in front then ripped the hand brake and got out of his car with a steering lock... I s$#t myself and hit the hand brake and took off.... From now on ill stick to my speed and if they hit me in the event of emergeny braking then the police can sort it out.... Thats what their for....

I would confiscate their car and ban all others like it, then have the speed limit in the area reduced by 10km/h.

Seriously though, generally I'll let people past if it's safe to do so (or if it's even more dangerous NOT to get out of their way), otherwise they can sit back and wait, I'm not going to break the road laws or jeapordise myself and my car/bike to let them through.

as most ppl....A

unless they were looking a bit agressive and road-ragey...in that case i'd pull over and let them get the hell away from me!

As above... either A or D, depending on their attitude/if they look like they'll hit me if i don't get out of the way etc.

D/ Let the moron go past.

Many times times in situations like this, I have noticed the moron rapidly gaining on me from behind at illegal speeds, was in an unmarked car, and wearing a police uniform.

They just love to drive fast themselves and bait people.

Either of the four, depending on my mood.

Ditto!

If i was feeling bitchy that day Id slow down and make a right nuisance of myself or id slow down then floor it and watch them try to keep up. Excels seem to be the dags that try n hang off ya butt and its always funny watching them trying to keep up.

If i was feeling in a happy with the world mood then Id just turn up the music carry on my merry way and ignore them.

I would go "A" first up.

If there were overtaking opportunities I would go "C" and slow down to give him/her the hint to go for it.

If I was driving my work bus I would go "D" and pull over because it will only do about 40 flat out.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
