When you go onto a website to complete one of their online forms and they prompt you to download the latest version of Adobe PDF reader. So you click on the link and download the latest version XI. The you go back to download the form only to have it tell you that you can't open the form because you don't have the latest version of the reader. ARGHHHH. So you then give them shite on their online survey - at least that form works.

When you find out that the EB-EF Ford fuel pump relay for your toy is now obsolete and no longer manufactured. "You'll have to go to a wreckers" was the advice given. Crikey, how time flies when you're having fun.

I'm sure you will find a heap of them in Kal as they were the family car of choice for some back in the day

Most of them are now burnt out hulks across the desert. The boys all drive Clubbies now, Fords just don't cut the mustard anymore.

Thanks John,
Watched that episode on iView. Seriously scary stuff, particularly since we travel OS on a regular basis. Closing the TB clinic is the government playing roulette and gambling with people's lives to save a buck. It stinks.

Came back to my car after having coffee with the girls after work to find that the d***head next to me had hit my car as he had parked! Bumper, flare and back door all scuffed to hell, mud flap hanging loose, bumper attached but obviously loose and the flare has been warped and won't re-attach !! Checked out the bull bar of the patrol in the car park next to mine and sure enough, scrapes on the corner of his bull bar and silver paint as well!!!!! I'm furious, Jeff's furious!! We call the cops to see what we should do as it's obviously this car that has done the damage, they suggest lots of photos and to hang around for a while to wait for the driver to return. Now, this little set of shops doesn't have much open on a Friday arvo, so I go around to some local places to investigate whether there are any security cameras. We wait for 35 minutes and decide it's time to just go to the local police station and report it. We start to drive off, and I ask Jeff if he can just do a quick lap of the block to see if the car's still there. Sure enough, it's gone!!! Little f***er has been watching us, and waited to sneak away!!

I'm just a little bit ticked off.......... and right before christmas. My poor prado looks very sad indeed

Hi Cel,

That would really piss me off too!!

You obviously took note of the rego number, so I'm sure the cops will catch up with them!

Sorry to hear about that, but let us know how you go with it all.

Cheers,

Jeff

Similar thing happened to me at a boat ramp. I asked another bloke in the carpark if he saw anything and he tells me he saw the whole thing. Some bloke in a white hilux has dragged his boat trailer along the side of my new car and then got his boat out and left.
I say , great what was the rego number and he says oh I didnt think to get it.

Oh and Australians who are involved in drugs in the countries that we all know have the death penalty and then when they get caught the Australian government spend squillions to support them but at the same time there are people here with problems that are no fault of their own with no support at all.

What sort of low life does something like that. Makes you wonder why on earth they continued to park next to you after doing the damage and not leave a note under the wiper. What, they thought you wouldn't notice.

Sounds like the mutt doing the driving wasn't the full quid and perhaps for the best your path hadn't crossed. Lodge a police report and give the details to the insurance coy to chase the mongrel for the damage.

Geez that'd make you angry. I feel for you guys & hope the cops embarrass the idiot and he pays your excess. Speaking of idiots behind the wheel.... A couple of years back I was parked at a red arrow waiting to turn right on level ground at about 4pm, I felt a little nudge from behind which was heavy enough to jolt the car a bit. I was surprised when it happened as I certainly wasn't expecting it and I was looking off into space at the time. I had my foot on the brake the whole time and certainly didn't lighten it for the car to inch forward any. Plus the nudge felt different to what that would feel like anyway as the jolt definitely came with more force. A couple of seconds after it happened I looked in the driver's side mirror to see a white ute really close up behind me slowly reversing to increase the distance between mine and his car. I saw red straight away and considered for a few seconds getting out of the car to tell this guy to pull over to the side of the road after turning the corner. But then the light changed to green and I drove around the bend. I immediately put the left blinker on pulled to the side and slowed to 20km/h waiting for him to pull in behind me.... But no, he kept on driving past me. I quickly tucked in behind him and high beamed him several times with my spot lights and beeped the horn a few times too. He would've noticed for sure. He kept driving for 30 seconds more before pulling into a shopping centre car park. I pulled up right next to him and intercepted him before he could run off into the shopping centre. I questioned the middle aged man about running into me. He completely denied it and accused me of being on drugs & said for me to stop harassing him over something I've imagined and he told me to "get off the drugs." For the record I don't touch drugs & I had just finished work. I looked for rear damage but couldn't see any which left me scratching my head. He saw there was no damage too and proceeded to head towards the shopping centre. I had a closer look while he was gone and that was when I saw white paint underneath my spare tyre on the tail gate. That wasn't there beforehand I knew that much & I just wished I spotted it while he was there too. I looked at the bonnet on his white ute and saw a dent and a little bit of paint missing conveniently where my tyre would've been hit. But my tailgate still worked fine after a quick test which was a reflief.

So I waited for him, and waited and waited to point out what I found while he was gone. 10 minutes later he still didn't come out, so I wrote a little abusive note because I was so angry at the time with that lying scumbag and left it under his wiper blade with "lying piece of sh*t" mentioned a few times in the note. As I drove out of the car park I saw him conveniently make his way out of the shopping centre doors back towards his car.

why do they do that???!?!?!?!?!

When I called my insurance company they told me that I needed to have more information than just a licence plate number, I needed a name and address for them to chase the other driver for the excess. No way we've got a spare $500 lying around this close to christmas, so the prado will just continue to look sad. I certainly HOPE the police can find the a**hole, but I don't have high hopes. I'll just keep cursing the idiot!

When my mother in law and an unknown person reversed into each other in a car park, she got a police report and then when I contacted my insurance company I didn't even get slugged for excess. Even with a nominated driver policy and the mil wasn't listed on the policy.
The insurance company put a claim against the other driver for the cost of the loan car and about six months later contacted me and said I probably won't get my $120 back (I already figured that) as they weren't getting any calls back from her. So there was only a number plate to go by, along with a police report and the insurance company came up trumps
