*sigh.......*

aren't you dead yet? could you please hurry and like, end yourself?

And we all know how good the frogs are at car design...........long live the citreon, the renault, and the peuguot, with out a doubt the three ugliest looking cars ever made.

:bs!:

C'mon Trident, don't be so one-eyed. You might have missed the fact that Citreon, Peugeot and Renault are makes, with a whole range of cars and histories going back over 100 years each. Did you know Peugeot claim to have made the world's second car, in 1889, one year after Benz did the first? Obviously not. So you know how good the frogs are at car design?!! Dismissing them as "the three ugliest looking cars ever" just puts you in the same book as the "I hate the other lot", narrow minded Falcadore lovers. In case you missed it, the Peugeot 607 Coupe was voted by the World's motoring press as one of the most beautiful cars ever. Only seen a handful in Oz, but a marvelous car. Peugeot have been World Rally Champions loads of times and are still leaders in that sport. The Citreon DS series and the Renault 5, whilst idiosyncratic, were the most innovative cars of their day and used technology way ahead of the rest of the world. (If you have a 4x4 with self levelling air suspension, thank the designers of the Citreon DS, in the 1960s!!) Peugeots and Renaults are just about the only cars to buy in Africa -they are the only cars to stand up to African roads and conditions, because their construction is so rugged.

I am not a fan of the French or their cars, but I cannot stand people being dismissive in their attitudes. If you are supposed to be a car enthusiast, you should know more about them! Give credit where it is due. Otherwise, you just descend to the level of the one make, one eyed bigots, who allow the Australian motor manufacturers to continue to give us crap and then prevent us bringing in to this country what we actually want to drive!!

Just thought you might like to ponder that!

Cheers.

Being first doesn't mean its good...............

I didn't say that, I quite like some other automobiles, I actually like the look of my Skyline, I also happen to like the look of Supra's, Monaro's, De Tomasa's, Lotus's, GTHO's, Corvette's, '68 Mustangs, Transam's, Ferrari's, etc etc etc

Big wank, they hand out credos to a lot of cars, some [such as the Austin Marina] won many awards, didn't help them, they faded into a long forgotten history.........

 Peugeot have been World Rally Champions loads of times and are still leaders in that sport.

As are the Evo, the WRX, and the Corolla, but they don't own Nissan, so are not mentioned........................

You want innovation, try anything from just about any manufacturer, Cadillac, Jaguar, Lincoln, Ferrari, etc etc etc

 Peugeots and Renaults are just about the only cars to buy in Africa -they are the only cars to stand up to African roads and conditions, because their construction is so rugged.

Ya gotta be kiddin' me, remember apartheid, the french were one of the few nations that ignored it [unofficially]. Anyway, all I've ever seen in Africa was Landrovers, and they are a whole new novel...................................

I'm fine with that, I don't want to drive any Citreon, Peugeot, or Renault, never, ever, period..................................  

Just thought you might like to ponder that!

The V35 still looks like a recycled Citreon, I have res-ponder-d [apologies for the spelling.]

Cheers.

unless they put a 5ltr, push rod, 2 valve per cylinder donk in the new skyline you'll never seen it run against the likes of v8 supercars, who cares anyway, already beat them at that game a few times, do you really need to embaress them again, they will just make a new formatt up again and rule the nissan out. thing i can't get my had around is they don't even run the V8's they sell there cars with!!!!!!

Personally I'm not sold on the new shape, looks like a maxima!

Hi I just got my hand on the v35 maxima look alike I am with you I don't go for the look at all But the rest of the car is sweet

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
