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.

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

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

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)

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.
Cheers .........
