Sorry to hear about that.

Skylines are in the wars lately :P

+1, I reckon, this just happened today, when I came back to my car from uni, I found a lancer up on my car's arse. Apparently the driver forgot to put her handbrake on, when she parked & this caused the car to slide downwards from the slop & right into my car's arse.

wtf.

Any damage? i would of kicked the shit out of the lancer... literally.

^^^

Some faint marks on the bumper, think my metal exhaust cannon absorbed most of the impact. Made a big dent in the lancer.

I waited for the driver to come back, & the 2 girls where saying a bunch of sorrys, except they didn't want to pay anything...

Long story short, mainly cause, I had some stretch marks on the side of the bumper near (but not on it) where their car hit mine, saying that the damage there is much more significant than the one they caused.

& when I said I don't want them to pay for the repair of my other marks thats on the side, just the portion to fix this bit up.Then they said, how it would be impossible to find out how much to fix it, since you need to respray the whole bumper, bla bla bla, mainly mentioning how its faint & you can't see it, well maybe you can't see it, but I can.

They also tried to play the "I'm so sorry, I'll willing to help out (except I don't want to pay)... want this to end nice, don't want this to end bad bla bla bla" card.

But sorry sister! That card don't work on me, the only thing that settles conflicts in this world in my book is $.

Anyway, In the end, she agreed to come with me to my panel repairer next Wednesday to get quote(s) on the repairs & she will pay the amount to repair those marks.

I'm not expecting her to pay much ($50 at most I reckon) but thats $50 less for me to pay which is always good in my book ;) & considering I only get ~$60 per shift for work, thats alot.

& finally, I'm not gonna act all high & mighty & say "its not the $ but its the principle that matters", it isn't for me, its the $ that matters. & Yes, coz I'm very cheap, (read my signature, comes from the family).

Yes it is true, everything comes in 3's!!!

i hope nothing else happens to my car, this is only the 2nd really bad prang :)

****dont jinx myself*****

So true, think this is my 3rd strike of bad luck since last week.

1- some c*nt baned their door on my car at work, leaving a big white mark.

2- I failed my lab for one of my units... well this was kinda expected since I always do sh*t in them, just this one was sh*t-er than usual.

3- & now this...

EDIT: Took some photos, just uploaded via BT from my phone to the laptop

Yeah, they were mainly talking about how the stratches here are worser than the ones they caused at the back... that doesn't mean you can walk away without paying a cent, not in my book sister.

Finally, apologies to Anahera for hijacking your thread.

Erin, sorry to hear!! Although its not my style, I love this car, it's immaculate. :(. And from my point of veiw, if you hit someone it's your fault!! Even if you run up the back of them, cos your either too close or not paying attension. Hope to see you out cruising again soon!!

George, that's f**ked mate! And the fact she'll only pay to fix that bit is worse. Who cares if they're more scratches on it? She still dented it, she should pay for it. If your car rolled onto hers she'd expect u 2 repair it!! Lucky you got to the car first, what's the bet she'd do a runner?

George,

Have a read thru some legal documents.

Im pretty sure due to that fact she hit ur bumper, regardless of the fact that it already had some stratches, she still has to pay to fix it. As you cant just spray one small spot of ur bumper to fix what she did, u have to spray all of it. Otherwise the colour wont match. The fact in doing so will fix the other stratches is besides the point.

I remember reading some about this in my legal studies, tho im not 100% sure. So have a chat with a few more "legal minded" people.

I dont think of it as being cheap, it was her fault for not putting her handbrake up, so she should pay for it. I would of done the same thing as u did.

Tell me one thing.... was she blonde?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
