That's why you gotta pack some heat, my friend.
Sorry, I've been playing GTA IV a lot. On a more serious note... while I dont believe in karma... I hope the people that did that to you, your gf and your car.. will suffer. |

I feel for you mate but please don't generalise all Maoris like that. My mother is Maori and she is the nicest woman you will ever meet, works hard as a nurse and drives her AU XR6 very politely.
When my grandad died from asbestos my grandma gave all the comp payout to charity for helping her over the years. Now she lives on a pension and doesn't regret giving the money away. What I'm trying to say is don't think all Maori are like that. I made the mistake of blaming the Aboriginals when robbed. Turned out it was white trash. |

I never said anything about generalising Maori's. My father in law has family in New Zealand.
I put them as Maori's in the story to get the point across, that they are damn big and angry looking. It was nothing against them, I was just painting the picture for people.

nah the common link is cars.......cars make normal sensible people turn into gun toting, road raging lunatics : what i do find concering is the escalating violence these days, i mean road rage has always existed, and always will, but people need to take a breath.

Seems like a situation that could have easily been avoided. I know you're not technically in the wrong, but you don't have to be in the wrong to get the wrong end of the stick.

Next time just look at who you're going to be ****ing off 1st :P
Shame about the car though and the fact that people that do things like that never have to face the consequences and will continue acting the way they are! |

Bloody scumbags. I hope karma catches up with them very, very soon. Hopefully you get a decent payout if it is written off. I will now think twice about what I do when people are driving like idiots.

What a sad sad world we live in.....You can never be too sure these days, just what appears to be your average joe could be some maniac who is hell bent of ruining someones life.
I'm just dreading the day something like this happens to me or someone close. I can't get over how this big tough maori went straight for your girlfriend though, that's low and cowardly. But as much as people say "should run him down" "I woulda done this." "rahh rahh" Put in the same situation, that would have done the same as you, which is the best thing in situations like that. If wrecking one car means saving yourself and your girl, then that's nothing, it's just a car in the end. Good on ya mate. It's definatly time to trim the herd though. Get rid of all this scum. Stuff like this truely sickens me beyond belief.

Obviously ****ed them off enough to highlight their stupidity

I can't believe the timing of this post. It appears that S.A police are anxious to speak to (what has been described by at best by a legally blind passenger) a couple of Maoris for the bashing and subsequent death of a young man during a road rage incident in the southern suburbs (Darlington) area here in Adelaide last Thursday.
Unfortunately for the occupants the Maoris took to repeatedly kicking the 28 year old driver in the head after a possible incident happened like being cut off or something similar. The Father, who is legally blind, had to witness this outrageous attack without being in a position to help. All he could recall is that the attackers appeared to be large men with strong Kiwi/Maori accents. SAM RODRIGUES, POLICE REPORTER Quote:
As the story reports, the life support was switched off yesterday. Rip. You my friend can consider your self and your gilfriend very lucky people. |

Yeah I was talking to AU3XR6 on that point, not WMUN.
Re: commonsense, no matter how lawful something is, commonsense comes first! If you hit your brakes 'cos' and someone runs into your car, within the law you're allowed to do so but your car would most probably be written off, someone elses car would be damaged and you could end up getting beaten up! These days it pays great dividends to just let things go. No matter what age group or ethnicity it is, theres a lot of angst out there. Its scary. |

I'll Change my post then- My girlfriend and I have never done anything that would even come close to having this done to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a Cortina stolen 2 years ago that was recovered and didn't have insurance on it so i think ive had enough bad luck to say that your comment is completely wrong. So id appreciate it if these type of comments were left out of this thread.

Sorry, Typo. That Cortina wasn't recovered!!
If you don't mind me saying laminge. I know you have an opinion and so does everyone else, but i don't see why you just delete things that you don't like. Thats all I have to say about that. This Thread was meant for showing my story and not about Moderators. My apologies
