Hi guys,

Turned right off Cavan Road onto Montague Road heading toward Main North at about 8:50am this morning. Saw a cop car parked on the side of the road about half way up this section of road. As I got closer, it was plain to see that some car had taken out one of those big street lights. As I went past, I was suprised to see that the car was an silvery grey R34. Couldn't see any plates as the front was caved in and the rear was at an angle where I couldn't see the plates either. Had to keep going as I was running late to pick up my son.

Can't tell whether the cops had been chasing it or whether someone just reported the accident. There was no ambulance around and at a glance, it didn't appear to have anyone in it.

Sorry I can't give much detail on the car as it was already past it by the time I realised it was a Skyline.

Anyone here know the story and whether it was someone off the forum? :)

Cheers, Mike

I wish that the pricks that stole were killed in these types of accidents. They would be doing society a favour. We work damn hard for our cars and these idiots come along and take 'em cos they think they have a right to do whatever they want.

I just can't believe that someone could own a $25k car and not have it insured .... if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car. Simple.

Very sorry to hear about this guy's loss and yes, the thief should be handed over to us immediately for the appropriate punishment.

Lesson learnt on my part, my cars now locked up tight and its not moving til i have an alarm and insurance. If you have no alarm and/or insurance i'd do the same, i was lucky to get my car back with just a stuffed ignition, most other skylines stolen arnt as lucky.

Just make sure you have a secure job before you buy a 10k+ car, sucks when you buy a car then lose your job and have no way of paying for insurance/alarm when all your centrelink money goes to paying off the loan (the situation i was in), but yeah goodluck with everything. Did the police give you the thieves name like they did with me?

Alarm ? or are they useless ?

Scary that so many skylines are being stolen

im looking at a 4 door ( r34 or v35 ) for the missus but as its a daily driver, i dont want to get that phone call saying car has been taken

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
