ke70dave Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 driving to work today, i spot a bunch of flashing yellow lights up ahead on wynnum road...great....car accident. everyone merges into one lane, crawling along...i get to the crash, a later model camry (maybe 2000) crash rear ended something, looks like the other vehicle had moved on. so there is one damaged vehicle left, the camry, no less than THREE tow trucks all in a row, hoping to get the job, with the camry in the middle, blocking 1/2 lanes, one tow truck guy and the camry driver standing next to the camry SIGNING PAPERS on the bonnet of the camry. now the camry was a bit beat up, but i reckon it would drive (no major leaking fluids from what i could see), or at least you could push it OFF THE ROAD into a side street perhaps...to clear traffic. yet they were all just standing around looking at it. whilst the traffic crawled along. is it unreasonable to expect that the highest priority for everyone involved would be to clear the road, given it is a main road at peak hour? evidently not!!! and this isnt the first time i have noticed this either....they seem to like taking their time.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Having the day off work, to look after my sick Missus and 2yr old. So much vomit.

carbonboy Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 WGMG - Getting to trade school, we're at the stage of working at our own pace & I have everything I need to get cracking. Get told "you can't do that","this isn't ready yet" & end up sitting in a classroom for 2 hours with the teacher talking $h1t just so I can get my name ticked off the roll... I'm not here to hear what your weekend was like FFS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yeah I had a read of the schedule, padding is advised unless its FIA class, and a full wrap around race seat where the healmet or body would not come in contact with cage, I don't know if ill be able to get a log book as the place that built mine is no longer there, i have the receipt still Yeah i cut the side bars out, and could still use clamps, i could still have her registered today i reckon jump on the POS cams website, you should be able to find the log book application form, i did, hardest part if choosing the category you wanna be logged booked to, and meeting the schedule, shouldnt be an issue that the shop isnt there anymore, you can log book a home built cage I'm pretty sure so long as it meets the standard...

SLO-030 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 WGMG - The weekends not being long enough to get time to scratch my ass, I love project cars, but I hate it when people rock up to your house with their cars and ask for help on their cars and you already have your whole day planned for work on your own car NO SHEEET! Had a dude I went to school with, Blew up his G13b 'zuki GTi. Then expected that he could get it towed to mine so I could fix it. PIGS f@$kING ARSE! Ended up having a wrecker tow it away, gave him like $200 if that. He'd paid like $1200 for it 6-8wks earlier. HAHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about it, the cage is the same colour as the car, I know roadworthy, in case of collision head is protected (to some degree) with the assistance of the padding, you'd think with harnesses and fixed seats i would not get that far, and the car runs along very neatly around the head zone, why, to make it look stealth, you would be surprised how subtle it looks, but right next to it, nah and it has nice material with velco wrapped around it, instead of the zip tie look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timofee Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 NO SHEEET! Had a dude I went to school with, Blew up his G13b 'zuki GTi.
