Saw this red P-plater chick in the r/h lane on the freeway doing 80km and when i had passed her via the left lane, saw she was on her phone on loudspeaker, then cut straight across 2 lanes due to her almost missing her exit at the last minute! Could have been very ugly, not even a headcheck for the other lane!!!![:(!]

My trolley jack failed halfway though changing a front tyre tonight.

Getting my new ST170 motor delivered only to unwrap it and find a stock 2.0ltr zetec. After waiting 2 weeks for it to be delivered.
pretty far from freaking OK.

always "red P plater chicks" they are just shocking.

ive seen them in little corollas and barinas throwing the cars into roundabout at like 60ish kph, tyres schreeching and everything.

saw a red p plater fly towards a round about, thinking she was going to make it in front of a car, then realising she wont, slamming on the brakes, and hitting the car in the rear, causing a small fishtail, and her grill and lights all over the road.

was in the car with a green p plater chick (before red P's came out)

who was driving about 80-90 in a 60 zone, realised she nearly missed her turn, slammed on the brakes with steering full lock, understeer all the way into a street sign.... no one was hurt, the car just got a facial makeover though lol....

i could keep going all day haha....

[:0]What happened have you sorted it it?

Well the delivery dude took out my fence on the way out, so thats awesome too! I ended up making a deal with the supplier, who were going to refund the cash entirely. But ended up doing a deal for the blacktop for $240, so figuring it will be a big ask to find another st170 (I almost knew it was to good to be true) I settled for the blacktop I already had delivered, I plan to turbo it at some stage in the future. The refund of the extra cash is pending.... so not entirely resolved, I figure the worst case scenario is I pay retail for the blacktop motor. Plus my fence isn't fixed yet.

The wife rearranges the photos folder and suddenly there is no photos left of cars being built [8~2][8~2][8~2][8~2][8~2][8~2][8~2][8~2]

Why would you need these - "It's only a car" (or is that a comment that would only be made at my house)[B)]

Don't write anything to the hard disk! The files can be recovered with the right software. I recently restore 1000's of lost photos after a techo formatted and reloaded windows on a friends laptop.

what's the difference between Green and Red? It's only red in SA, but I've nearly been rear ended in my AU Wagon a couple times turning right into driveways despite using my indicator and brakes. I like to take it easy as I'm carrying about $2000-$3000 worth of gear including highly explosive batteries.
