Why cant people use the door handles?

Or, get a car that won't dint if you sneeze on it. My old HJ panelvan never suffered dints from me sitting on the front guards, bonnet or even the roof.

The good old days... :D

I personally love it when people do that to one of my vehicles, I just open the door right back at them with the strength of my boot on the internal door panel to get a nice bit inertia in the door.

"Oh I'm sorry, after you opened your car door into mine I thought you thought it was acceptable behavior"

And the high above ground sharp bottom corners on Landrover doors are so much more effective! Usually get the other car about halfway up the door.

Reading this thread I'm too embarrassed to consider that plan now. I bought it near ten years ago ex NSW forestry had been rolled a few times but chassis was straight. It pulls as good as a 300 can running out to 20plus psi but EGTs under control. But of course every panel is binged banged bent and twisted... You would cringe!

And to think we are both fans of GSPs. My mate Zero a three year old is into day four of teaching his brand new eight week old sister Mollie how to do the GSP thang !

Anyways ramble off

Love to see a pic of that 130 anyway is it really that bad?
GSP's are great dog, they are just all a little nuts the pic above (on page two) with the gsp and the ball has the same fruit loop eyes Pluto has when he is excited ie not asleep :D

Front doors being opened on to my Disco gives me a laugh because from what I've seen they just dent their own door on my rock sliders. Rear doors are different however due to the high impact from the shape of the wheel arch.

Trouble is everything was sooo heavy. I had (not sure they where ever here) an Austin Ambassador https://www.google.com.au/search?q=a...IRedqm62IHw%3D
It was so heavy the small 1.7 engine just about pushed it along. Someone hit my rear door and dad said we could beat it out. No way on earth was it going to beat out not before we both got old the metal was so thick so we gave up so we bought another door.

Speaking of car park behaviour, I was just getting out of the 130 at Woolies in Dickson a few weeks ago and a bloke was nosing in with his Prado in the next row.
He drove straight into the door of the car beside and kept going :eek:

He was a grey nomad driving a new Prado and it left a lovely big mark down the side of the other car.

I was too gobsmacked to say anything and forgot to get his rego so I could leave it on the other cars windscreen.
I think I was still fuming from the 20 something woman in a Corolla that dived into the spot I was backing the Deefer into.
That happened twice in four days in the same carpark. :mad:
My step father said I should've just kept backing. :twisted:

Im guessing that could end up different theses days with a little bit of middle age spread:wasntme::p

As first officer in the local rurals, I am just back from looking at a burn that will happen in the next days... Why oh why do bushy's need to lean on everything?!! After all we have discussed on this thread, I go out with new car and right away someone has all their weight on their elbows on my front wings!! No dent, but I couldnt believe it.
