sleazius Posted 15February, 2014 Report Share Posted 15February, 2014 The worst I've had was driving my brother-in-law's GT3. Not stupid words but stupid actions. A bloke in a falcodore did his best to run me off the road. Came up behind me drove normally for a while then suddenly decided to ride my tail for about a km, then started honking his horn and flashing his lights. Finally overtook me and nearly side swiped me with his cut off manoeuvre. He also went past with his arm out the window giving me the bird. This is on a single lane road mind you, wasn't anywhere for me to go. I've got no idea what caused it as I was in an 80 zone doing 90 at the time. Apparently the guy just really disliked Porsche drivers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion03 Posted 17February, 2014 Report Share Posted 17February, 2014 nothing gets my back up more than "we're paying you too much" - most of the SUV's in the car park here at work are worth twice my car! yeah I get that at my place of work too. Seriously people, we all earn about the same, it's what I do with the $$ after I get it that makes the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 21February, 2014 Report Share Posted 21February, 2014 My 4 year old wanted to hear what my 911 sounded like so I started it up in the garage. My wife said it sounds like a VW Beetle. Yeah, a bloody fast one! Divorce is pending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 26February, 2014 Report Share Posted 26February, 2014 Yeh Quozi - that ain't cool If anyone made comments about me being paid too much or any rich comments about my car now - I'd probably crack it at them! I had such a great time in it on Sunday. The only thing keeping me sane is thinking I might still be able to get into a P car, owe less $ and still be happy with it.

Caver Posted 27February, 2014 Report Share Posted 27February, 2014 When I got my car everyone expressed congratulations or admiration except my brother who gave me the mid life crisis speech. Guess who didn't get a drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFE Posted 2March, 2014 Report Share Posted 2March, 2014 Yup the usual reference of "business must be good" to which I reply "It cost me less than a commodore, what would you rather drive?" Usual response is silence followed by "isn't it new?" No it's 7 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G5032 Posted 3March, 2014 Report Share Posted 3March, 2014 Whilst filling her up yesterday after a quick spin to blow some cobwebs out, had a local on a pushy holding a fresh pack of winnie blues ask a couple of questions “you thinking of selling that mate, I’ve been looking for one?” Nah mate haven’t had it that long “is that a turbo?” Nah it’s a standard Carrera “so it a 3 litre V6 isnt it? Are they 12 inch rims” Err it’s a 3.2 flat 6, those rims are the standard 7inch” “what is that a 78 model?” nah mate its an 87 “that looks like a turbo tail, do you know Insert name he has a 78 model turbo with 20 pounds of boost, he took me for a spin in the wet jeeeez did that thing move” Yeh turbo’s are pretty fast “have you run anyone in it? What would it do down the quarter..12’s?” Nah its not that fast, plus I would probably stuff up the launch, an standard SS Commodore would probably blow my doors off Then he proceeded to tell me about a one owner low kay Sylvia he just purchased which he is restoring and he will garage it and wait until the prices skyrocket. That was my first serious servo chat very interesting indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 3March, 2014 Report Share Posted 3March, 2014 Just got this yesterday when some old friends noticed the 997 for the first time. "how fast does she go? have you driven her above 250? I would drive it above 250 it'll be worth the fine" Hmmm, how to explain to people that top speed isn't really the point? Unless you are on a track that is. Or in the NT. Besides... I am not young and invincible feeling anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harold Posted 5March, 2014 Report Share Posted 5March, 2014 "Does it go?" There really is no answer is there. It was 3months old, cost circa $300k and he asked does it go?

SteamWolf Posted 28March, 2014 Report Share Posted 28March, 2014 people seem to get genuinely annoyed when I don't bite at the "nice VW mate" remarks. I usually say "thanks!". Considering how many VW's I have owned over the years it really isn't an effective barb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 28March, 2014 Report Share Posted 28March, 2014 I shouldn't bite either, but "it's pretty good for a kit car huh" is too good not to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
