It's sad but there are dickheads out there who would go to extreme lengths to threaten people's life because they are too Phucken stupid to earn enough money to own a GTR.

I had my car advertised in the SMH during the easter weekend and some dickhead called up, pretending to be interested in the car and when I refused to give him my address as I was sus, he burst out in a cry of desperation saying, "Give me your car or I'll slash your throat". Obviously I did not waste my time with this call and hung up after this but just wanted to warn you guys out there who own exotic import cars.

If you plan to sell your car, be carefull who you give the address to. First thing is to ask for a LAN number where you can call them back at a more convenient time. If they refuse, hang up as they are obviously not serious. I made the mistake of continuing to talk to this guy long enough for him to threatened me but at least I didn't give him my address, but the threat was enough to get my blood boiling at 110 degrees.

SO be careful guys. It is sad but there are dickheads out there and some are crazy enough to do stupid things to get hold of your ride. Be smart and be aware of the warning signs and know the difference between a serious buyer and a time waster. All the best boys. Sorry I haven't been around to chat but have shitloads to do. See you around.

hahah:p

Yep - Amen to that......

I had my place robbed after I stupidly gave my address to a bloke after advertising an LCD projector in the trading post..... never, ever again............. I am now the most suspicious, paranoid phucka out there.......

PS : Beerside rules..... he he he :P

Don't take it to heart.

You should probably use a mobile line only. Call them back and block your CND number display.

There are heaps of tyre kickers out there and even more mentally unbalanced people.

You should try selling a house and see the absolute losers who think they can pony up on a $750,000 estate...

T.

Yup, it was a mobile line and although I didn't take it to heart, I was si furious that I was tempted to give him my address so that I could wait for him outside and take my anger out but I knew that would have been a stupid idea as it was my anger that's doing the thinking and not my brain. Once I calmed down, I knew they were just threats and have no balls to do anything else. A smart thief would have played it cool and did it differently instead of demanding me to hand over my ride over the phucken phone, I mean how stupid is that? Anyways....can't be too carefull these days, too many sik kunts out there, pardon the french fellas.

should've given him a fake address then get tws gang to wait for him. We'll give him a good fun love'n time! :P

Now that would have been sweet! The stupid prick prolly would have went to the addy as soon as he got it as well.

Scott

BINGO..should of brought it him down to the west side of melb and we could of taken care of him. but then again the guy who made the threat would of probably been from the west side.

lol.

but then again...swoop u have to remind urself u do have access to a 34 gtr vspec. u know that is a ok car. (sarcasm)

u would get stupid idiots wanting to take it 4 a spin. "omg its a 34 gtr lets c how fast we can get it."

Well, if you want some help when you have to meet with a prospective buyer, let all the Sydney boys know and i'm sure we will all be willing to come down for support.

What you think guys and girls ??

Let's make a "Help Swoop" club ??

By the way, awesome ride, i hope to have one one day (probably when they are 15 years old and more in my price range !!)

Guys, thanks for all the support and suggestions. Next time, I will give the pranksters the address to Akira and have Minh waiting at the front with his singlet doing a super flex. That would about scare anyone off their witts.

My next ride will be a Datsun 180...aint no-one will be calling me with threats in that classic. ;)

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
