omg that happened to me once in my GT-t I was cruising along in the left hand lane (the main road in blacktown just after the pub & before the hospital and heading to the tafe) There was 3rd lane for people to turn right and out of nowhere a girl walks out in the middle of the road from between the cars queued up on the right, she was wearing sunnies and listening to her ipod crossing the road where she wasn't supposed to and not paying attention to anything, it all happened in a split second I braked honked my horn and she jumped back just in time, but not quick enough for her to get hit by my sidemirror

I stopped to see if she was okay and drove her home, luckily just a small bruise :)

scared the sh*t out of me

Accidents caused by someone else’s bad driving that doesn’t affect them are awesome.

I was in my 88 magna (my old daily) on the Pacific Highway in Chatswood a few years back. I was heading north in the right lane and was over taking someone sitting in the Railway Street turning shoulder (he was turning across southbound Pacific Highway traffic into Railway Street). The clown swung left into my lane to turn right. I had a car next to me on my left, so pulling left to avoid the car now a foot in my lane a few meters ahead was not an option.

I braked, looked in my rear mirror and saw a Red P Plater in her dads E Class slam her brakes on. She managed to pull up, however the Mazda 6 behind her didn’t. The Merc was shunted and ended up with my towbar straight through its radiator. Both the Mazda and Merc were un-drivable and had to be towed. My tow bar was a little scratched and needed a new plastic cover.

Obviously the Mazda 6 was at fault for driving to close to person in front, but it shouldn’t have happened at all. The other car that avoided the whole thing probably didn’t even realize.

i agree with everything in this thread.

It shits me the most when people are in the right lane, they are going under the speed limit but cruising right next to the car to their left.

Also people that are constantly on the brakes when going down a slight slope.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
