OZ930 Posted 18May, 2014 Report Share Posted 18May, 2014 Fastest car on the road in Darwin is a Hilux Tray back with bullbar, uplift kit, toolbox and a dog cage. Hilux races at rush hour were pretty scary at times. …..and no, you are not dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 18May, 2014 Report Share Posted 18May, 2014 No your not dreaming Dreamr, Porsche badge get's 'em every time, it's like a magnet, attracts every bogan from miles around. Also attracts people who genuinely like your car just got to take the good with the bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJM Posted 18May, 2014 Report Share Posted 18May, 2014 I thought it was just me. I seem to get tail gated and cut off etc more in the p car. I do get the "nice car" comments as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 18May, 2014 Report Share Posted 18May, 2014 Here is a suggestion lads : buy a go pro (or one of the cheapo repco equivs) and install it facing backwards on your parcel shelf. Then , connect up a $3 blinking red light to a battery and make it be known that the camera is "on". End of problem. It's either that, pull over and let them pass or give it a bit more welly. But after a while that gets stupid, anyone racing on the road is a menace. Edit: I always let people in for lane changes and so on. That way , they don't form an opinion all Porsche drivers are pricks on the inside. And you may just avoid an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 18May, 2014 Report Share Posted 18May, 2014 I always think of Clarkson in a 911 trying to get out of a side street and saying "don't expect anyone to let you in if your in a 911" - its quite funny how people change their behavior based on what car you drive............... Having said that I do take car when approaching certain types of cars as they typically have a certain type of driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT Posted 19May, 2014 Report Share Posted 19May, 2014 I was driving along the freeway a while ago and an absolute bogan builder in an old sh!tt3r tray back heap of crap with a swaying trailer starts not giving me room then yelling abuse at me. Top was down, warm night. I guess that he had been partaking of a few cool drinks after work and got a little excited. Never cops around when I need them.

Orion03 Posted 19May, 2014 Report Share Posted 19May, 2014 Mercedes drivers give you more room BMW drivers want to race Old shit boxes want to cut you off viciously Commodore drivers want to stuff their nose up your arse. A few drooling spectators at the lights. Workmates all say you get paid too much. Get a Porsche, Get a chance to examine the Human condition.

sleazius Posted 22May, 2014 Report Share Posted 22May, 2014 I accelerate hard at every stop to the speed limit. My logic being that if you tear away and make room between yourself and everyone else, a lot of the issues don't occur. Plus people driving 2.5T+ barges make me nervous when I'm in a sports car of any description. You'll still get the odd dickhead tailgating, but if you make your own space it limits it dramatically. My two worst incidents of road rage have both been with XR6 Turbo drivers, one of whom did his level best to cause an accident - sorry to anyone here who owns the aforementioned!

Guest Harold Posted 22May, 2014 Report Share Posted 22May, 2014 It is not a dream. It is real and seriously funny. Remember, you can't put in what god left out and he left a lot out of some folk. Just drive and bath in the knowledge that your car is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hounddub Posted 22May, 2014 Report Share Posted 22May, 2014 Easy up lads, some of us Volvo "barge" drivers are capable. Our 2.5T V70 up here in Singapore is an excellent aircraft carrier.....our new T6 V60 in Sydney is possibly faster than my Porsche. Let's avoid the stereotypes.

Orion03 Posted 26May, 2014 Report Share Posted 26May, 2014 However, I have noticed that no girls have been more attracted to me because of the car.
