Warning: Angry poster [MA]

What is the deal with the Tall Poppy Syndrome!!! Ive owned my old 4WD Hilux for like 6 years now and I have never ever had anyone vandalise it. I have had my Skyline for like a month now and I have already had it egged and now key scratched as well! :)

I swear if I ever find someone touching my car I'll loose it. Grrrr. People should really just pull their f%&king heads in!! If your a looser and you cant afford to buy a 13 thousand dollar skyline dont take it out on mine!! Just do us a favour and f$&cking kill yourself instead.

I know it pisses you off, I dont think it is just skylines its any nice car.

But i have had my car egged and had a bottle thrown at me.

When people yell shit out, i ask them in a calm voice,

did i do something to you, because i can if you want.

You normally get a puzzled look on there face like Daaarh.

as much as one may think i have 'road anger' in me after this statement, you'll be wrong if it actually happened to you.

night before i was about to actually put the car into Milanco to get the turbo rebuilt and highflowed, I had some dipshit in a comby started to merge into my lane as we were going around a corner on Old Cleveland Road.

Of course, the dude didnt give a shit as i was sittin there just beepin at him and going off. I then proceceded to follow him until he pulled over.

After I got out, I asked for a explination as to why he decided to merge into my lane without no indicating light nor showing he gave a shit that he could of caused a car accident as i had to brake pretty hard comin close to havin a car rearin up the back of me and me headin head on into a power poll.

He fully appologised and I said that insurance wouldnt of covered any damage that you did to my car and I would have you purchase a new car for me of the exact model I had before it would of been damaged.

After that, he got a bit worried. I simply said "follow the road rules next time, indicate and merge after looking, not merge and dont look expecting no cars to be there".

I drove off but with the satisfaction that hopefully I gave him more of a fright that people wont tollerate idiots like him on the road again with no indicating and no looking before merging.

Of course, there was no volience involved but clearly, a stern message that hopefully got across to him worked.

What has this got to do with a car being keyed???

Zennon I fell really bad for you, I would probablly cry if this happened to me...

Id have to say the worst I have recieved was a bit of spit on the windows of my car...

These days my car is parked permentlly in the garage and the comapny banger sits out on the road...

And if he was an ICE addict, you'd be dead!

im amazed he stopped,, i wouldnt lol.. and if i had some smart ass c**t giving me the talk down like what you jsut did, i would smack him one, or walk away...

you could off just slowed down and let him in,

anyway,

when i firat ot my car it was keyed 1100 bucks later it was fixed (thanks mum and dad :)) but i was so upset, as it hapen or two seperate occasions in one week, and i never caught the bastard.

John, I'm amazed at your absolutely care-free attitude to this event. If someone followed me, I would pull over only in a very public place if at all. And one day you will chase the wrong dude and he will get out of the car and A. Throttle you. B. Throttle you and take your car. Or C. He will be your favourite off-duty cop and he will throttle you and throw you in jail.

Your actions only perpetuate the road-rage phenomena. Yes, there are fools on the road, but two wrongs don't make a right.

Be the bigger man and let it slide.

sorry to hear about your car zennon, these storys always make me angry

and as for toy-r33, you are asking for it

people are idiots and cant drive everywhere, everyday

you havent changed anything chasing after that guy, you just got lucky that he wasnt an icehead, or a criminal in a stolen vehicle, who would have thought nothing of running into you, waiting for you to stop and then beating you up

im trying to get this message accross to wifey, who insists on getting on the horn or abusing other drivers on the road, even when they are in the wrong

when they smash my car up and drive off, im not going to be real impressed regardless of how in the wrong they are

she needs to get the message

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
