have you taken any care to read the sticker on the back of the bus, it says to giveway to merging bus, you must give way to a bus when they have their indicator on, they have priority, they are actually on a schedule you are not.

yea i understand they shouldnt pull out when you are already halfway along side, but some people try to race the bus, when it has their indercator on, signaling theat they are going to pull out, which is then you are suposed to slow down and let them in.

Yes, but a bus should give regard to the braking distance, something they rarely do here in Adelaide. You wouldn't cut in front of a bus just before the lights for the same reason. Hell, I hate it when anyone does that to me regardless.

On the VK's i think they are a heap to be honest, I have never liked them at all they are a plastic VB and they look cheap. Engines are strong but the EFI was a pain with mystery bugs. My family has had all models VB-VC-VH skip the VK move on

Angry Skylines

Well i would just like to say im sick of seeing R32 to R34 skylines on the road, they are everywhere and all of them look and sound THE SAME, get over them people they arent that great. Also COMMODORES with ricer exhuasts, chromes wheels and young drivers behind them. For a first car i would love either an XY ute or EL falcon. Do somthing different.

whats wrong with the skylines, they may not be That good, but they are still much faster, smoother, more reliable and handle way better then my EF falcon,
and an EL is hardly something different!

I can see where he's coming from though.

Skylines are everywhere, whilst they are alot better then my VL, I cant stand people who think just because they have a Skyline, that every other car cant beat it.

Now they might have a soild performance reputation, but this does not warrant them as "Un-beatable", as alot of people make them out to be.

I hate any car that is sitting two metres off my back bumper, with some w$nker behind the wheel who thinks he has the necessary skills to avoid an accident if I have to hit my brakes in an emergency.

At the moment that's about half the population of Canberra.








And I hate Gemini's.
