Today is one of those days I rather not remember

My pet doggy was hit and run over by somebody

I only found out after coming home from TAFE

For those who do speed in suburban areas please dont

Others may have love ones who dont wish to loss them... either they be pets or human

Now my other dog is welping all day cause she knows her sister is no longer there with her... there been together for over 8 years now.

For anyone who did run over a dog today... hope you realise you hurt others pretty bad because of your negligence.

Please dont hit and run either

Atleast confest up to your mistake... dont run off and leave them there to die.

They didnt do anything to you why would you leave them there to die

I wish she can be with us still but unfortunately reality states she cant

So please slow down

Even if you have a fast car it doesnt mean you abuse it

Thanks for listening

RIP my doggy

:(:(:(

My doggy got run over a couple of years ago (thankfully survived) but the guy that ran her over came over the next day and said "oh just came over to see how your dog is, so sorry bla bla bla, oh by the way, I'm sueing you for the damage done to my car".. Asshole...

very sorry to hear about your dog. I have lost two dogs that way over the years. I have to say though it's a bit much to assume the person was speeding. i'm sure they could have hit the dog at 40kmh and possibly not even known it was a dog.

Very sad day though ;)

My condolences

I too have lost my beloved dog over someone's negligence ;)

People who don't have pets don't seem to understand the bond that forms with a pet, you spend all that time with it, caring & nurturing your pet it soon becomes a member of the family.

I am sorry too hear about your dog, it is a sad day when a beloved pet is killed.

Assuming that the dog was killed by speeding is a broad assumption, you also need to take some responsibility as you should have your dogs contained in your yard and not roaming the streets where they can be hit.

Im really sorry to hear about your dog...

Just a question to everyone who has lost a dog, how your dogs get on to the road? Did the dog always have free access to the street?

I know there are times when people accidently leave the gate open but if your dog has free reign then an accident like this will happen sooner or later ;)

Both dogs were locked up usually.

1 time she dug out under the fence and went for an explore..

the other time he ran out when taking it for a walk and walked out onto the rd.. didnt kill him, broke his back and he had to be put down.

Thanks everyone

One of my neighbours heard a speeding car brake pretty loud and came out to see what the commotion was... they saw my dog lying there on the road while the car ran off... reason where i came up with the speeding thing... unfortunately they couldnt see the number plate at the time since the car was to far...

but the fact that they did a hit and run is not on

My dog dug a hole out of the yard

Never thought that would be possible

She never has done it before

Yeah sorry for stating the fast thing...

she could have died from a slow moving car but this time around im going to assume she didnt.

My point is slow down in suburban areas... it may be a pet dog you may kill or even a small child...

speeding is for the circuits... and keep it there

Thanks all for listening

Pets will always remain as family members no matter what people say.

RIP my doggy

We all miss you especially your sister who cant stop weeping and welping for you. We will always remember you when you were still a puppy and will continue to love you till our days are gone. Please take care of yourself my doggy for you will always be in our hearts and minds...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences

Hope it didnt bring up too much pain

Sorry about your dog mate,

I've been on the other end of this situation, but the dog didn't get killed.

Long story short after stopping and seeing the dog sore but ok, the dogs owner noticed the damage to my car then started to deny all responsibility..We ended up in court and I walked away with a judgement for the repair costs,court costs and loss of earnings for the court date. It ended up costing the guy a fair chunk of cash all because he left his gate open and let his dog roam.

When I hit the dog I didn't have much time to react but if I'd swerved to avoid the dog chances are I'd have hit either the car parked on the left or the kids playing on the r/h/s footpath.

I'll always remember the family that lived across the road from me when I was a kid, on holidays they swerved a roo and got driven over by a semi..4 dead, one daughter survived, friggin tragic. There used to be something in the learners book with reference to not swerving to avoid animals as it's dangerous and most of the time the animal gets clear anyway.

Not saying this is anything even remotely like what happened to your poor pup and I do feel for your loss..reading this just brought back some memories.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
