but...if its in the essence of education..

If your driving along the M1 late at night on a saturday and there happens to be lots of cars driving really fast. Dont be in a skyline driving next to a commodore, sit next to him then watch him slow down and try to do skids then speed up and supposedly use the handbrake for some unknown reason. I cant be exactly sure that this is what happend but I was informed by a person who was further up the road near him that he started trying to do something that resembled skids..(unsuccessful no doubt) then sped up, past the skyling, mates yelling, then the back wheels locked up (more than likely from the handbrake) and well he 180'd into the barrier..cops showed up a little later and that was about the end fo the fun.

And that concludes our class today on idiotic practices 101. Next week will be looking into the reasons why morons don't know the road rules. We have a special this month also. Phone now and you'll get a FREE sign to display to moron drivers, it reads - Move over d#$kwad, you're only supposed to be in the right lane in a 90 zone if you're overtaking.

Our first 10 callers will also receive our how to booklet which describes "10 ways to reload your shotgun while changing gears".

or he could have been just trying to happily cruise along with the rest of you, accidentally drop his ciggie on his leg and burn it, take his eye's off the road and write off his pride and joy which he's spent all his time and effort on. People who drive commodores are no different to us, they're car enthusiasts as well.

/Me suspects MASE of owning a commodore. :(

Depending on the type of commodore, it was more likely he had a CIG locker and it shattered and sent a few nice big chunks to lockup the works :( Locked up rear end = not fun.

No commodore I know has enough handbrake left to lockup the wheels at any speed, let alone highway speeds (even during the M1 Fun Club times, which is like 40kph)

like i said dunno exact details but thats the jist of it..he was being a tool, bad luck, he crashed his commo. sounds harsh but thats the way it is...if i was racing past a commo, slowed down and tried to do skids on a highway, then raced past him with people yelling random crap and then i crashed...well im sure its a no brainer that i would receive no sympathy from the commo driver. Hence i give no sympathy to him for doing it to a skyline...sure it sucks what happend but thats the risk you run of doing what he did.

    • 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.
