Hey guys..

As I came home from royal national park..as I was at the door to my house the cops rang and told me that my car was found in epping and to pick it up..!!

expecting the worst...me and my brother went to Epping...the car was in good condition.!!

wheels were still there!!

sterring wheel too!!

a bit of damage to the bonnet and a slightly cracked and scraped front bar...

interior...stereo and shit pulled out..!! and gear knob and some plastic shit around the gearstick..!!

other than that..all is fine!!

oh shit..the car would have copped a shit load of a thrashing!! they took out the panel filter...must have driven it like that!!

but they didnt drive it that far..max they drove it was a few hundred kms..!!

The car has been involved with a few illegal shit I think..the guys that stole the car had dropped the car there 2 weeks ago and has come back to use it once or twice...

well its a vision atm...I will talk to the guys at vision monday!!

thats the story..!! I am back!!

Schweeeet - That's great news. ( that the car was recovered) However it blows that they did some damage. I guess you're just happy to get the car back in (sort of) one piece.

Best news I've heard all week - (Except for ROOSTERS winning against Brisbane)

Cheers,

CONGRATS!! :)

i am heppy for you man, its good to see that the cops can return the cars every now and then!!

i was devastated when you told me it was stolen - i am happy now. :)

I'm sure the car has seen better days, but i am sure you are happy to have it back. :headbang:

well done man!!

Christian

whoa thats awesome news dude!

so happy to hear... you're one lucky bugger.

Hope the car is okay.. engine wise.. as i know how expensive this can be. I don't think it could be that bad... skyline engines are made to be thrashed :)

at least the car is still in one piece... guess they were nice thieves and lucky they didn't torch it... would've been a nasty sight

anyway welcome back mate... take good care of her.

I had a flashpoint alarm!!

Hey i jus realised today...the grill taht was found next to my car...is not my grill..was there another white R33 skyline stolen??

the grill had the red S badge...and was white too?

chances are that one is being used for the same reason and is sitting in another carpark?

they probably jus kept changing up the number plates!

Jords...

nah, my car wasn't stolen.. but the front grill was (maybe they were getting started?). thankfully i dun have to park in that hole anymore! Quite a few of my colleagues have had their cars busted into in there...and my last car (lancer) got badly dented in the loft carprk. i always see another white R33 there with a black wing too. hope he;s ok

but anyway, i parked behind ya at fox on friday! shoulda called you (but bet u were too bz with chicks!).

clubbing in maquarie shoppo? Sum knob tried to lift my 180 in maq shoppo carpark (b4 they built the new one next to Big W) managed to take off with the momo steering wheel.

UNSW skyline club? awwww bugger where were you guys when I used to go there? Used to hang out at the Quad n the roundhouse all the time :) Oh and the Comp Eng Undercroft Labs ;)

Glad you got your car back man, coppers in Epping are nice I reckon, I used to live there on Blaxland Rd

we were supposed to go clubbbin at Fox... but we weren't dressed up enuff (last m,inute thing)

:)

were you at city live that night?

anyway, some workmates told me that the vandals at macquarie are a bunch of local kids that live across Epping rd. -They target cars of ppl that work in or nearby, but just havn't been caught in the act. Dunno if they actually steal cars tho!

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • 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?
