I sit infront of a PC programming crap all day.

I don't get a woody when a new PC thing comes out.

How long have you been in the Mech Industry? I guarantee someone in IT who's been in it as long as you would make more.

And I guarantee you this IT nerd knows more about cars than you do (in particular Jap Crap).

P.S. Don't be giving sh¡t to hatchback owners, cause we (me and you) all well know my 'ugly-looking' car will tear your 'good-looking' car to sh¡ts.

edit: snipped irrelavant stuff

I make more dosh than IT nerds anyway so :P

Hi,

I'm an admin, asst editor and writer for Overclockers Australia... yeah, it's full of nerds, but contrary to the random babbling that Inasnt spewed into this thread, not all of are nerds. I frequent it, I own an R33, I'm an IT professional, but I don't consider myself a nerd.

As for what nerds know about cars, cars are far easier to work on and troubleshoot than computers, this is why there's so many backyard car mechanics and not that many backyard computer mechanics.

That site is about computers, so of course it's going to be full of nerds. It's pretty obvious what kind of people will visit it.

Just like with cars. There's good people and then there's mindless bogans like Insant who insult people because they have inferiority complexes about their dick size and level of intelligence.

And don't give me crap about engineers being intelligent. I work for a university and I've met the engineering students.

Have a bit of ****ing tolerance for other people's choices of recreational activities, Inasnt.

read the first few posts... then go to the end of page 2 :) (page 2 if u view it in 40posts per page view)

After having a long chat with Syxx about it all, it seems that the guy in Melb got that 34 in about 6 months ago, whereas Syxx's has just arrived. It also seems that the car is a Top Secret "performance package" thing... where they're all yellow, with the same mods, etc. The poor guy's been abused by shitloads of idiots abusing him about being a liar and whatnot.

The nerds can be unforgiving when they want to be.

Well said sciby.

I went to overclockers thinking it was another good car nutter site, but found it was mainly computer oriented.

Nothing wrong with that at all, but not what I am interested in looking at in my leisure time these days.

By the way, I am a retired electronics hardware engineer. My speciality is switchmode power supply and magnetics design. I have over twenty years of R&D experience, developing new commercial products for industry.

So, when I pretended to be terribly distressed by suddenly being surrounded by electronics and computer people, it was totally tongue in cheek I assure you.

With regard to the individual you named.

On this and other Forums, we are each judged by what we say, and the views we hold, also by courtesy, respect, and manners.

If a person behaves like an offensive idiot all the time, that trait becomes his persona. And it soon becomes his permanent identity to other Forum members.

Cheers.........

fine IT guys know stuff about cars.

I was refering to computer nerds like the 3 from the simpsons episode when homer has to go back to college. :)

We do know stuff about cars... and I work with people like that. Pity me.

That's the thing, isn't it? The internet is such a weird arse lens for people's personalities. I've got good friends now that I dispised because of who they were online.

I remember when I was at school I had a mobile phone, I was considered a yuppy. Yet by the time I was in yr 12 everyone had one. I remember when I was 13 I was working for a company building desktops and servers, I was labelled a nerd but now some of those who dared to give me crap send me emails begging for my help.

I am not a nerd, I just work very hard in the IT industry. I have knowledge of a wide range of systems and I am responsible for millions of dollars worth of kit, and thousands of users. It is so easy for me, I work with the business to ensure that what ever technology we need is obtained and setup in our company.

This is not a brag session, but if I have the mind, focus and strength to deal with all these systems, people & projects, then sure as hell I could master cars.

I promise you that cars are alot easier than a enterprise computer system.
