I've currently got my car at Vision Smash Repairs in Artarmon.

I've heard good things about them, and they seem helpful enough - haven't got my car back from them yet so I can't tell you what the end product is like, but I didn't need any panel work done.

But its a place for you to start in the meantime anyway, their number is 9436 1299, ask for Jerry.

it could've been farken anyone. why are you so prejudice on taxi drivers!? dont get me wrong i have sympathy for your incident but your prejudice against taxi's for whatever the reason is a little unfair.

Panel One, Alexandria. Contact Kelvin 9699 6799 and say Franky sent you. They're a BMW specialist but they've done a fair few skylines (i think there are a couple of R's in their now infact), they've done a fair few wrx's too as kelvin and i used to have one and i recommend them cause they did my wrx...

Im backing pro, ****ING TAXI MOFO....

Heres my story :)

I had a taxi driver cut me off, fk down my drivers side and put me to a gutter ripping my left tire. He tried to pickup a passanger on the left side, while being in the far right lane, slams his brakes, cuts lanes, takes me out. I get out ready to murder this bloke, he gets out, 68 yearold man, so i let it go.

Called the cops down coz gut feeling said there would be issues. He changed his story twice infront of me, from "i was going to turn off at the next street, there was no passanger" to "i stayed in my lane, he screams next to me, slams his brakes, his car wobbles and hits mine". Im going off my nut ready when hes spinning this bs...

Anyway,

After a month of him spinning bs to me, he went to his insurance being zurich. They bs me with "the police report takes 5 weeks to come in", i got a copy of mine within 3 days. Police report says hes at fault, not doubts about it. Zurich says they will pay out.

He got issued with an infringment, which hes now trying to argue at court (can u say min 6 month wait list), so zurich are telling me to fk off until that gets sorted.

I know hes got a right to contest the infringement, but theres no chance he can win any of this. He's so far in the wrong I cant beleive its all going this far....

So far, been without my line for 3 months,

now we're waiting on his case to be dealt with, so alot more waiting...my repairs are 5-6k, so ive started saving. Also thinking of taking him to court asap myself?

As a result, i now hate all fkn taxis, prejudice or not ill pull the trigger againest any1 of them.

Yeah, I hit a gutter due to taxi driver coming across in front of me. He shrugged and drove off thru red light :)

Also, for years we had a run of luck with taxis to the airport for holidays - had 3 accidents in a row:

1) Taxi runs up back of car at front in lights.

2) Bus hit taxi (not his taxi's fault this time, although he was kinda overtaking a turning vehicle)

3) Taxi hit a truck (only 2 cars on the road). Small indian taxi gentleman wanted to fight truckie. We wanted to catch plane

Franks, you'd have to admit that some taxi drivers have appalling driving standards.

I think some couriers do their fare share in stereotype creation. I used to spend alot of time on the road as a consultant (lol) and found they where the worst. They are obviously in a hurry, but I was always abused and once threatened by a courier.

Taxi's are a hard one, I find in australia the taxis can be very wild. They drive erratically to get that final fair, in NZ they are so different. I am always shocked when I am in NZ, the cabbies are so polite, and drive like professionals.

hrm.

I'm driving down Crown St... Green lights all the way, it's about 10pm, and raining. I'm driving my mother's car as mine is getting a new clutch installed. Driving in a stream of cars, I'm about the 4th or 5th car... We're going about 40km/h, and I drive across William St, and BAM!

Taxi driver runs a red light and hit me so hard he wrote off my mother's $130,000 CLK. I bounced off him and hit a traffic light with such force, that it proceeded to fall over and crush a car on the other side of the road. I was winded from the force of the impact, and couldn't breathe. The car the traffic light crushed had a baby in the back seat with father and mother in front seats. I was taken to hospital for possible neck trauma immediately... 3 Police Cars, an Ambulance and a Fire Engine were on the scene before I could breathe again.

The taxi driver was charged with negligent driving, and running a red light, and was additionally charged CRIMINALLY by the Police with assault with a motor vehicle (because the father and mother in the front seat of the lancer pressed charges on him for endangering their baby).

*THAT* is why I'm scared of taxi drivers.

I've got a couple of good guys I use whenever possible. The last thing I feel like doing is getting in a cab and looking out for danger signs. I just want to sleep generally.

I even got "seasick" in a cab on the way to work one day (heh not a good look) due to this guy's absolutely attrocious driving.:)

You pays your money you takes your chances. :D

    • 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
