[LTSJayce]

Spotted: Black Thunder trying to race me while i was driving my other car today, i chopped him

Ha!ROFLMAO! Black Thunder,you say?Classic!I wonder if the horrible media types at Black Thunder Central(104.7)have more respect for the fabled stove taillights...Or maybe they'll jump on the rising wave of stereotyping and label your car,and all of ours,"killer Skylines"?

[SkyGTRline]

lol...

Another Skyline has crashed guys, killing the Drive and his girlfriend (wife to be)

Most of you prob heard bout this, but just thought id post it up..

There giving us bad names...

[r33skylinegtst]

Hey everyone, about the cruise the other day, sorry i didn't see you all at the Cotter. What time did you leave there at? I headed out at about 3pm after work and i couldn't see any of you? I was probably in the wrong place as i was taking directions from my dad and he has just a bit of trouble with maps

However i did stumble upon a Ford Mustang gathering, and i don't think too many of them were happy to see my Japanese turbo six amongst their American 8's... got a few dirty looks so i got out of there quick smart :p

But anyways, i heard about the crash. What model was it? The rims in the pic i saw were 32's, so i assume it was an R32? Ah well, great news for my insurance premuim and road reputation.

[Amaru]

We were parked next to the mustang club, so you were in the right place but we had proceeded to Jerra pub by then

[Sinista32]

That'd be right Graham, right place, wrong time. Must of just missed us tho. We cleard out pretty quick off to the Jerra Pub for some light refreshments as Nik pointed out. Sowwy you missed us mate.

Keep an eye on the site for the next Gathering.

[Aurora]

Woo! Jerra Pub!

[Sinista32]

Spotted: Silver GTR 32 leaving the city in a hurry in about 5 mins. Pitty the poor traffic in his way on the way back to Jerra. Quoting a learned colleague of mine HE"S GAWN MAAAAD!

In no way do I endorse road rage. However, stay out of my !@#$% way - OK!...it's been a bad day...(jokes)

[SkyGTRline]

Yea just saw on the news now about the Skyline crash

Was a green R32 hit a 4X4 at 130kmh and spun off into a pole.

Also i think to whole P driver and Horsepower thing is kicking in, in Febuary next yr...

Better find a GTR before then hey...

[Scooby]

I just hope like hell that this doesn't happen again soon. Insurance companies are so risk averse it's not funny (that's why they are so rich) and they never forget. The last thing we need is for Skylines to get the same rep the WRX got when it first appeared. Chick at NRMA told me the first 10 they insured in '95 got stolen and the whole industry still isn't over it. Premiums go up, they don't go down.

Thing is there's always going to be more people killed in hot rod Commodores etc but the media has this new 'playterm' called Skyline. If someone is to blame for an increase or restriction it'll be the media sensationlising it to the point that the pollies think they have to do something and the insurance dudes never letting go of the belief Skyline = bad. Get ready for another 70 or so people to get taken out over the Xmas / New Year period but don't expect our buds in the media to put pressure on the govt to use more taxes to improve roads which are ridiculously unsafe.

Sorry for the rant people just hate getting squeezed by the fun police / nanny society gestapo for no reason when nothing usually changes anyway...viva the revolution! (steps off soap box)

post edited as i think i may have not expressed myself properly...

long story short i can see reasons for restricting power/weight ratios for young drivers. but as andrew and graham have pointed out their are reasons for and against this.

[r33skylinegtst]

True, but an idiot driver is an idiot driver regardless of whether they're on their P's or not and regardless of what car they're in.

[Veilside R33]

Totally disagree with you leech.

so as soon as someone has finished their p's they are automatically good enough to handle a limitlessly-high powered car? it's the driver and i did just as much (if not more) stupid sh*t in my slow lancer as i've done in my line. fact is young people are going to do stupid stuff in cars and kill themselves no matter what, its about time people just accepted it and got over it, i'll say it again, regardless of the car young people are going to kill themselves, so stop with the stupid restrictions, im not giving up my skyline for anyone, and if i still own it when the restrictions come in, in a few months i'll still drive it.

im really fired up over this whole bullshit debate, a young guy crashes his import and all of a sudden left wing pinkos come out with these ideas, the restrictions hav'nt work in neoo zee-lund and they wont work here.

wanna make the roads safer? ban the over 65's

oh and by the way, if P-platers get banned then get used to about 4 people coming on cruises, if all of us "deadly p-platers" were already banned there would have been about a quarter of the turnout on sunday too.

True, but an idiot driver is an idiot driver regardless of whether they're on their P's or not and regardless of what car they're in.

To true but at least it will give most of these people an extra 2 - 3 years to learn to drive properly. granted again that for some people it doesnt matter how much time you give them they will still drive like tools but when you hear 17 and 18 year olds in rex's and lines who have crashed generally due to inexperiance its a sad to hear and frustrating. Main downside is all young drivers are getting crucified by the press at the moment and the fact that you and others drive performance cars means you will be signaled out even more which is dodgy...

Bahahah congrats heheh

[leech_]

i know what you mean andrew and hey each to their own i know i am still young and have a shit load to learn about driving and i never said it will make them automatically good enough to drive high performance cars but it will at least provide a little more experiance to hopefully be able to react a little smarter if something does go wrong. i know myself i have learnt the hard way in my previous cars but am glad in a way that i didnt have my line back then hey maybe you guys are alot better drivers than me but yea anyways i know everyone has their own opinion on this so yea i will be quiet now

also maybe my first post was a little blunt so sorry didnt get my point across properly i think. someone :kick: next time they see me :headspin:

[Veilside R33]

someone :kick: next time they see me :headspin:

done and done, i'll bring my steel caps

[leech_]

done and done, i'll bring my steel caps

oh dang :tomato: NO STEEL CAPPED BOOTS haha :flamed:

[Sinista32]

I don't necessarily agree with either of your idiotic opinions but pleased you both expressed one. Ahhh Democracy.....

But when Stalin and I get back into power you will think what we tell you to think or you will be:headshot:

:kewl:

[leech_]

lol sinista thanks for the valued input haha how can you not agree with either of us we have opposing views which means you have to agree with one of us f3ar m3
