It really sucks that there are assholes like this out there. It was my concern of something like this happening that pushed me into buying a new pfc from a trader and not second hand from a user. I hope he/she gets found and cops the maximum punishment.

I can see it's appeal, but not really my thing...

I'm lookin for a new bike too....just dont quite have the cash for this

If it were me, I would go with an RB25 or 25/30. If it's going to be your daily do you really want a 400rwkw 2jz monster? Mind you it would be damn cool... In saying that so would an RB25.

helicoil ftw

Wow, suddenly my insurance seems awfully cheap compared to what some of you guys are paying! I'm 25, near perfect driving record and I pay 580 a year i think it is for my 34 gtt with basic mods. Thats with upping the excess to 1200 bucks from 400 i think it was. With the minimum excess my premium would have been around 950.

Followed a maroon R33 with a blond chick driving for about 10k's on bribie rd this afternoon at about 4:45. I was on my bike.

Mate it sounds like you may have broken the pedal bracket. Just climb in under there with a torch and have a look around.

If you wanna race, go to the track.

G'day daz, welcome to the forums! Any mods to your car, any pics??

Yeah I should be in for this as well! Looks like the bike is gonna be gone on friday so the line is gonna be my daily for a few months too!

LOL, thats pretty funny. It's always fun pissin off people in 4WD's as well. They piss me off just being on the road hahaha.

Price drop to $6000 ono I wanna sell it ASAP or I'm just gonna trade it in. Make me an offer!!

Hope it's a good race! I won't get to see it until tomoz night tho...

how much for the hi-flow gary??

I've seen it twice in the last day. What a car!! It has such presence on the road. I got totally snobbed though. Gave him a wave and didn't even get a look.

That's not a bad idea actually. I'll give the cops one more go first though. They are actually usually pretty good out here in general so I can't complain too much...

I just saw the qualifying results and was wondering wtf happened to webber. That's pretty much farked up the race then hasn't it lol. Go vettel now I guess. As long as Hamilton or Alonso don't win I'll be happy

I've been to the cop shop here 3 times and there hasn't been a cop there once! lol. Beauty of living in a small town I guess. I don't have loads of spare time to sit down there waiting for them to get back to their station either. The last time I went though I did speak to the administration and was told that because I didn't have a witness to the incident that there isn't much the cops can do. I left my details and the rego of the truck and was told an officer would contact me, but that hasn't happened yet either. Seems like if there's not a buck to be made they don't really give a crap unfortunately. I guess I'll try again after work and see how I go.

<br /><br /><br />Mate, obviously you didn't look at what times our posts were posted. I wasn't even replying to you.... And if you read my first post you would have read when I said the only reason that I was able to avoid having an accident was because I was on my BIKE. If I was in my car I may well have not been sitting here right now, but rather in a hospital bed or worse. It seems that yourself and other truckies are a little to happy using the 'bikes are hard to spot' line as an excuse rather than being extra vigilant at all times as you are supposed to be. Oh and secret6 - I have driven cars for 12, 14, 16 hours and more at a time on quite a few occasions. Driving interstate from Brisbane to Adelaide and other places. Damn trucks are the ones that have caused me any grief on those drives as well.... Ie me doing 105 in a 100 zone with a Semi sitting right up my ass. Not clever driving that is it? So what do I do? Pull over and let the dickhead with his 10 hour deadline and I'll smash anyone who gets in my way attitude past.

Can't believe i spotted an R35 GTR in Beerwah last nite!! So awesome.... I want one! haha

Lol, mate how bout you get on a bike and nearly get hit head on by a f#%kin idiot like i did, and then stick up for him. I saw him approaching the intersection of his driveway and the road SLOWLY. I did not know he was going to proceed without looking or stopping first. When you are going through a set of lights and a truck is approaching very slowly from another direction but has not quite pulled up, do you sit there until he has stopped totally and make sure he is going to give way to you? And my 90 minutes a day is after 10 or 11 hours of working non-stop all day. Noone is forcing these blokes to drive. And who came up with the fact that every truckie is doing 10 hours of driving at a time? If they can't handle the hours behind the wheel maybe they should consider a career change?? Funny how some of you guys are very quick to stand up for an make excuses for someone who very nearly killed me, when all I was doing was minding my own business riding home from work.....

Spotted a silver 33 last night in Beerwah. Looked nice!

Firstly, it wasn't raining hard. Just enough to have wet the road. And the bend was very open - not blind. Secondly, I am no truck expert and not too sure what kind of truck it was. May not have been a semi, but was a big f#%kin thing. Because it certainly didn't take him 7 seconds to go from being on the drive to on my side of the road. He also wasn't going from a complete stop. He was rolling slowly and failed to stop. Or look. Or care. But yes I saw him as plain as day. Infact I saw him so easily that it must have taken some very neglectful driving for him not to see me. And what am I supposed to do, slow down to 30kph every time i see a truck or car wanting to come out of a driveway? It'd take me an hour and a half to get home. I am VERY careful when there is a possibility that a truck/car or anything else may have had trouble seeing me before they pull out - and thats not just on my bike. I know there are a lot of these guys that do long hours and have tight deadlines. There is no way that excuses them in the slightest for the way SOME of them drive. Like this fool for instance. Truckies surely realise that what they are driving is effectively a big weapon if they are careless or reckless in it...surely... I worked 50+ hours last week, and do every week, starting at 5 or 6 in the morning and drive/ride 45 mins each way to and from work. I dont nearly kill people on the way though. The thing is, I have had more near misses by far with trucks than I have with any other kind of vehicle. And trucks make up a much smaller percentage of road users. Col that sucks mate. Is there anything you can do when something like that happens? I've had it happen to me in my skyline as well. But it was a twit of a woman in an EL falcon driving all over the loose stuff on the highway. I was just glad it was the windscreen and not a headlight or something...

Well considering he turned head on at me, he can't really blame the 30 or 40 foot of trailer behind him.... He just simply did not look before he decided to turn straight at me on the wrong side of the road. There is no his side of the story. He was 100% in the wrong. The only way he wouldn't have been able to see me is if the glass in his windscreen and door wasn't see through. And after I went off the road RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS WINDSCREEN he didnt even stop to see if I was ok.... Sorry, I'm not gonna care about his deadlines too much as he nearly killed me.
