Well.... that makes it all OK then doesn't it. :)

So once you have done an advanced driving course, it's OK to drag people on the streets and endanger innocent lives?

I'm sorry, but I don't care if you've done an advanced driving course or not, if you completed an advanced driving course, then why are you still treating other peoples lives with such blatant disregard?

(Not to mention that advanced driving courses are conducted under controlled conditions)

Some people never grow up......

Spot on!

As for the Advance Driver Course, the one thing they hope you walk away with is an attitude conducive to better/safer driving, not car control.

Driving at anytime can be dangerous, and plenty of good people loose their lives or well being in simple/terrible car accidents. If your going to race on the street at least respect the fact that IT IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!

... or are you saying you have better car control then Possum Bourne, and somehow can see into the future.

i dont think you can get a fine for the drag on calder man.

im pretty sure if u do u can contest it, cause she has no proof. unless u told her how fast u were goin. then its ur word against hers. u should of said u were doin about 110, and u werent too sure cause u were too busy looking at the guy who was "stalking you", you were afraid, life in danger etc... etc... bullshit.

just hope u dont get it.

R31 Skyline Chick...

I am sure that if we followed you around on a daily basis with a camera, filming your every move in your R31, we would see you breaking the law some-how as well.

Sorry to say this but you seem to be on some sought of HIGH HORSE in regards to your driving. Well I am sorry but I just don't believe it.

We are car enthusiasts and in my opinion I believe that the best place to drive our cars properly is on the track.

HOWEVER, that is not possible all the time, therefore if someone chooses to give their car a bit of a run once in a while, let them, that's why we bought them. It is not as if we are drink driving or driving under the influence of drugs etc...anyone who does that has s**t for brains.

In summing up, get your hand off it. (I in no way mean to offend)

... as you state, I'm an enthusiast... not a rev head.

I feel no desire to go around being a menace on public roads.

Follow me around with a camera if you must. :P

It is not as if we are drink driving or driving under the influence of drugs etc...anyone who does that has s**t for brains.  

How is it any less dangerous to drive at high speeds on public roads?

Might as well be drunk, because at least when you kill someone you can say

"I'm sorry your honour, I was having an alcoholic blackout at the time of the accident, and I don't recall killing 2 entire families."

It sounds a lot better than

"I'm sorry your honour, I was just bored and had nothing better to do, so I thought I'd go and kill some people and blame it on the car."

:uh-huh:

That is a bit harsh and blown out of proportion. What I would call "Not spot on"

Have you had a bad experience with cars/accidents or something because I sence a bit of hostility?

I am an enthusiast and a rev-head...generalise me if you must.

I go to Willowbank and drag my Skyline because I like to do it. I don't however go out and drive over the speed limit because : "I am out hunting for 2 entire families to kill"

Again...calm down and re-read what you have been typing.

1)I do not condone any form of dangerous driving on public roads that puts innocent peoples lives at risk.

2)Every day you drive your car you put innocent lives at risk. Shit happens and that is life. Driving responsibly will always safe-guard you from accidents but will never fully protect you.

It is all a part of growing up, and mistakes are such for a reason, they teach lessons.

Part of growing up?

Maybe that's the problem....

I'm all grown up. :P

I've lost enough innocent mates to terrible road accidents.

I have zero tolerence for people being assholes on the road.

Public roads aren't for playing games.

If you want to be a terrorist, go to Iraq. :)

[edit]

I don't need to re-read what I've written, I'm well aware of how I sound, maybe when you lose some mates to someone elses stupidity, you may realise where I'm coming from.

Hopefully you won't need to lose anyone close to you before you realise what I'm talking about...

Maybe when you have children of your own, you might understand how precious life is.

Nobody is invincible.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
