you idiots, you missed...

[Blknight.aus]

well its happened again....

there was an accident involving other cars, big red and a car park..... and both cars missed her.....

Picture if you will big red sitting proud head sholders and door tops above the roofs of the 2 doof doof wannabe rice boy cars on either side. we're all parked in nose to the wall and the guy on the left wants to exit left, the guy on the right wants to exit right. so into reverse gear with the both of them, the guy on the left cranks on right hand down the guy on the right left hand down and they both moove off in typical doof doof rice boy fashion with lots revs and not a whole lot of attention or care with, in this case predictable results.

2 mangled doof doof cars at rest behind big red all 30 feet from me with a glass door between me and the carnage.. I really really felt like heading out and giving it "nyah nyah na na naaaa you missed my car pftftftftftfthh.: but there was places to see and people to do so after finishing up my business I went out and politely asked them if they wouldnt mind moving their crumple zones so I could get out. At this point in time I had pointed out to me that this was all MY fault as my car was too big as they couldnt see past it.


for those of you who know me (and those who have read my tagline) you'll know how that got responded to.

[p38arover]

They certainly are attracted to you, Dave.

[tombraider]

Love it!!! :arms::clap2::woot::Rolling::Rolling::TakeABow:

Like when a young lass P plater backed her mums car directly across the carpark (30 meters) and into the towbar on Lara...:eek:

I was sitting waiting for the wife to come out of the shop and felt a tap..

Looked in both mirrors, nup, nothing...

Get out and theres a Corolla with its bumper holed dead centre with the outline of a towbar/ball combination punched through it..

I just smiled and said "Have fun explaining that one"

I'm leaving THAT one alone...

Thats Gold.
But where's the pix??
you know the rules.

[Blknight.aus]

you know this is such a regular occourance that I should be looking at keeping a stop motion capture camera running in the car... If I stopped to take pics of every idiot who did something stupid in a car while I was around or hit her while I was away or something stupid at work we'd have to doublespace the interenet to make room for em all... (or offload all the windows OS's to make some room)

[cockie55]

Dave any chance AULRO and its media conglomerate affiliates can get 3 remote control and 3 IR activated cams (6 cams in total) into the Red monster??? Nothing required your end...our gear will upload all AV footage via G network??? If things get a bit quiet and you stop attracting road carnage ....then we may require some workshop footage from you....bit like that stuff those OC Chopper dudes do.

Had similar in Hungry Jacks in Kalgoorlie. Sitting in Disco waiting for the wife, small tap got out and some small Jap car, huge dent in the front, Disco undamaged. The two pretty young girls were apologising profusely and expecting a damage bill from me and all I was doing was laughing.

Must be the time for it !!!!!

Was pulling into the car park of a furniture shop on Boulder Road today. As I was driving in, a young girl backed out rather quickly from a parking bay well to the left of where I was heading and reversed straight across in front of me. Fortunately I saw her and stopped. She stopped right in front of me, about half a metre off the bullbar. When she eventually looked to her left, all she could see out of the passenger side window of her Ford Focus of Fiesta or whatever it was, was a bullbar.

I've got into the habit around here lately of reversing into parking bays in shopping centres wherever I can. The number of people who do exactly as Craig and Tombraider have described is incredible. I've already got one dent in the bullbar from somebody who reversed into it in a carpark.

Gotta get rid of the plastic bumper on the back and fit a big mungrel steel one.

Much as Id love to ATM you wont see much unless your into watching RAAFies drink coffee.

want to know the real reason why military establishments have no photography rules, its got nothing to do with security, its because they dont want any evidence of just how little work we do getting into the publics hands... I recal one incident where a security guy actually came down to check the camera becuase nothing had moved on the screen or the capture tape for a couple of days. True story.

I drove into the local shopping centre carpark today. The carpark has all the lanes marked with directional arrows which most drivers understand and follow.

As I entered, I saw a Jeep reversing out of a spot so I turned into that lane to get the vacant spot. Then I noticed the driver was swinging the wrong way and would soon be facing me. My wife told me to stop to give the woman driver room to get out. I was going to do that anyway without a wifely command.

Leaving the Jeep plenty of room didn't help. She still managed to hit my driver's side mirror as she went past. Fortunately for her, it didn't break. Have you priced a P38A mirror assembly? :(

[George130]

:D:D:D
Got to love em!
Last 2 days I have been driving a prius around Brisbane. Mongrel thing! Visability was shocking. My 130 has twice the visability!

And Ron. Your nicer than me. I have sat for 10 mins in a parking lot staring at the driver trying to go the wrong way as I don't move.

[VladTepes]

Dave: Has it ever occured to you that they are trying to kill you ?! Perhaps Al Qaeda are using suicide doof doofs these days !!!

George130: A PRIUS ???? When you confess that to the priest you'll be saying Hail Mary's for years !!!!

[isuzurover]

I think all red defenders are magnets to idiots...

I parked on the side of the road a while back behind a ford falcon - gave him plenty of room to reverse out.

Was sitting in the car waiting for my wife, when the owner of the falcon walked across the road, jumped in, and promptly reversed (about 5') into my bullbar, smashing ALL his tail lights in the process.

His response "I didn't see you there" - how much bigger and brighter does the landie need to be for people to see it ;):D

I do beleive I saw your 130. If not it was a nice rig. Same canopy as mine and roof rack over the cab. I was between Ennogerra and the Airport. Hotel was about 6km from Enoggera.

[Bigbjorn]

I had a guy in a Honda Accord back into my White Road Boss in Enmore Rd. Newtown one night. Same thing. "Didn't see you". How? 8tonnes of bobtail Road boss with shiny bullbar; headlights, side lights, & marker lights lit ; 4' square chrome grille. Guy must have been driving with a labrador dog and white walking stick. Honda looked a bit sick in the ar+e end. Hondas seemed to be attracted to Bosses. I got another one in Logan Rd. Brisbane one day. Was thinking of paainting little rising suns on the side of the bonnett.

Bright Yellow also seems to be an idiot attracting colour as i have found :mad: Obviously we are talking about people with the same mental capacity and instincts of a bee :p
