Sitting at traffic lights today, behind some hick in a jacked up '85ish Patrol with mud up to the windows...... for NO reason at all the f**ker reverses about 6-8 feet fast enough to chirp his rears, I had time to think" f**k!! " and chuck the R in reverse and try & get outa the road...... and he tags me good and proper..... :yes:

Damage..... Bonnet stuffed, grille cracked, passenger guard dented, Vspec lip stuffed......

looks like im getting that carbon bonnet a little sooner than planned! :D:D

Still cant figure out why he wanted to go backwards in such a hurry, my first thought was deliberate, but he was keen to get it settled & sorted out once we got to the side street...... i mean i barely had time to react.....

hey this happened to one guy in my team last week. some retart just decided to reverse at the lights??

anyway they exchanged details and then he changed his story and said my mate ran into him...which to tell u the truth sounded more legit...anyway lucky for some witnesses and the cops got involved...

hehe

as it happens I work in a position where its possible to see certain things...turns out he owned some money and hadn't passed on his new address...hehe we made sure the debt collectors knew where to find him!

classic...

Hey Rod, sure it wasn't Emre :thumbsup: He's into SUV's now isn't he?

There's nothing worse than some scumbag changing their story so get them to draw a diagram on the spot and sign and date.

Chris, has that guy got a tax debt my wife should know about? :ermm:

Hey Geoff, nah it wasnt the big fella..... he's got more class than a hick old school Patrol! Land Cruiser all the way! LOL!

Taking it to the panel shop today for quotes, not looking forward to driving it with a mushed in nose......

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
