It's Poogoe .... and I think you'll find Citron is much smarter than shitren (lookup what Citron stands for in a dictionary).

seeya,

PS: Oh cr@p .... One of you even has the name "mid life crisis".... You guys are hilarious ... There's nothing like taking the pi$$ out of yourself

Here's me expecting the usual braindead "my car is faster than yours" , "betcha I could beat your cr@pbox type comments" ....... Where's the "mines bigger than yours" type comments I'm very impressed with the level of maturity around here given it's a skyline forum.

hey all,

i got a mate who works at nissan/renault,  who says they're the biggest buckets of shit on the road, not to mention the ugliest, the new ones just look wrong.

loved the pics of that clio sport burning. thanks for the wallpaper...

Don't forget who owns Nissan.... Yeah that's right, Renault.. the French. :lol:

I think someone should close this thread before any more skyline owners make themselves look any stupider.

well i'm just passing on what i've been told. he is the one who has to pull them apart and put em back together. apparently the windscreen wipers spin the wrong way, the indicator/wiper stalks are on the wrong side and just little stupid things like that, yes i know it is european, but every other company changes these before selling them

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I love hearsay. The earth is flat! the earth is flat! I'm just passing on what i was told...

If you mind and therefore bodily motor functions can't convert to using stalks on the other side of a steering column, maybe you shouldn't be operating a vehicle.

And not "every other company" converts to RHS indicator stalks when importing to Australia - most euros I've driven recently run LHS indicator stalks...

But apart from those problems, nice observations

[writeoff]

French cars have won the last five WRC, this years F1, own Nissan (and green lighted the upcoming GTR)and have been responsible for some of the most innovative advancements in motoring. I've owned a french car, the Peugeot 205 GTI for 10 years and love it. I have 2 GTRs. I'd say there are more wanker Skyline drivers than Citroen and Peugeot drivers.

I wish people would have a more broad mind and get over a badge/brand/model.

My Uncle owns a Citroen Xsara, bought new. Its a very luxurious car and mechanically its great but its been back for warranty service four times for electrical issues. During that time they gave him a new Alfa Romeo 156 as a courtesy car lol damn that was a sweet car.

And yeah on both cars the indicator stalks were on the left which is weird but it only took a few hours to get used to, but I bet I looked like an L plater at the start when I kept activating the windscreen wipers

[R33S2]

WOW 2 pages and nobody has mentioned Volvo drivers, I used to have a sticker on my helmet saying " Volvo aware rider" they wre a bread of their own back in the 80's but they seem to have realised their mistakes and now are seen to be a class car, I'm still wary of them, never had a problem with the frogs though I'm sure they have their percentage of unaware drivers as well.

[writeoff]

I know its not what this thread is about but...

I have more trouble with Holden SS Ute drivers. Everytime someone wants to drag me at lights or pulls up next to me (whilst moving) and revs their engine it's a bloody SS Ute! What makes them think they could beat a GTR anyway? Mostly I ignore them and let them be... mostly.

Lol the thread title made me giggle like a girl

HOLY SHIT indicator stalk on the wrong side, must be a pretty unsafe car with shit build quality.

I wish people would have a more broad mind and get over a badge/brand/model.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

werd. get over the holden hate people.

Although old people are a reasonable scapegoat. Once I saw this old couple merging onto a country freeway. exept they didnt merge, they drove along the shoulder for quite awile. f**k it was funny.

I would say what thype of car they were driving, but It doesnt matter. I see heaps of suburban drifters in beaten up silvias then anything else, although there is still plenty of guys in old commys.

"French Cars Should All Burn"

Bugatti Veyron? (Built in France)

Peugeot 205 GTi?

Renaultsport Clio V6?

Renaultsport Spider?

Nissan 350Z? (Owned by Renault)

You would burn all these insanely brilliant cars?

EVEN CITROEN have had some important cars in their history. Citroen DS anyone? When it came out way back in 1955, it was a symbol of French technology. It had power steering, four wheel disk brakes (inboard at the front), headlamps that turn with the car (like Mercedes have JUST brought in), fully independent hydro-pneumatic self levelling suspension with adjustable ride height, sleek aerodynamic body (for the time), front wheel drive (once upon a time thought to be a good thing), hydraullic semi-automatic clutchless gearbox, and in the big engined models it could hit 120mph.

So not all French cars should be burnt. Just the senior citizens that drive them.

Fin.

Thank you Big Rizza. Good to see the forum has knowledgeable people, unlike the thread starter.... who seems to be deprived from all sense of reality.

I went through a round about yesterday, and a senior citizen in a hyundai literally did not look to his right (Where i was coming from) when he pulled on to the round about, Strong application of brakes and middle finger and i was again on my way. It just shits me when people don't even pay attention to the traffic arounf them
