nothin like a t bone to start your day

[jennie285]

Great stuff Oz go the sinbox....speaking of T Bone, which is what we are speaking about technically, as well as Ambos Rodney and I were driving home from the usual Friday night family get together at Macca's cafe where kids run free...and nobody's house gets trashed...anyway..a stupid young P plater in an XR6 suddenly stopped in front us and did a U turn complete with burn out right in front of us...Thankfully Rodney was able to stop while this idiot did this..otherwise we would have T boned him.....we went around the block as decided to go and give him a serve, but he had wisely disappeared....small towns and bright yellow Xr6's he'll keep for another day.....

Cheers guys. Yeah sorry didnt mean to thread steal. Oz's thread just hit a chord that it sucks when detrimental things happen to you through no fault of your own. But I see that most shifts and shouldnt vent while still at work!! The dog thing was just a bit fresh!

Anyhoo. Carry on.... And good work on the ute Greg!!

Well nobody minded, and if you want to say anything else that gets up your nose, there is a thread here soapbox....and again we all love our Ambos, and the job they do for us all....

I knew that one was coming...

I was waiting for the "she did`nt see me" bit to come out...

I was too! Either off with the fairies or too distracted by the GPS or mobile phone.

Thursday night at the local shops, I was stopped at the end of a row in the carpark waiting for a gap in the traffic to turn right into the exit road, and this 17 year old girl, red P-plates (just got her licence 2 weeks ago), got in her car while yapping on her iphone, started the car, and drove straight out of her spot on the end, right into my front wheel. Luckily it was only superficial damage to the tyre & hubcap, but it still needs an alignment & new hubcap. Her excuse? "I didn't see you" - No shit! You can imagine what I wanted to do with that phone.....

I hope you told her you were watching her, and that you wanted the money for the wheel alignment, as it would be in her best interest as neg. driving will immediately disqualify her :Chin:

Because it's a carpark, and not a public road, the police aren't interested in these sorts of things (unless they turn violent - hey there's an idea).

She rang her father (after she finished her previous conversation), who asked to speak to me, so I told him exactly what she'd done.
He went off his brain at her (I was 2m away and I could hear every word he screamed down the phone - along the lines of "I'll sell your f-ing car" etc). His solution? She had a card linked to his account, cash was withdrawn & handed to me. Smart father!

Oh - the girls name, you'll love the spelling: Brittne, with one of those little french things over the top of the e. :knockout:
Can't they just use something simple like Brittany or Britney?

dont kid yourself on that one jennie..police were called and attended but because both cars drove no charge...**** OFF..i went off..the cop had his hand on his gun until i calmed down..lazy farkin *****...mind you her car was rooted..but it drove and because her airbag sensor was obviously faulty she could drive it away regardless of the coolant runnining out of the radiator...i dislike lasy police that do not know what is safe or not..thats why i was goin off...paperwork is too hard..lazy pricks..:knockout:
