I love the R5 GT Turbo's as well. Although I'm too old for one now and if I ever did, my missus would probably batter me.
I guess I've never really grown up!
Doesn't it make you sick...........?

I thought boy racers over here in NZ were bad enough, but that thing takes the cake! (no offence!)
Working with cars on a daily basis, it's amazing to see what lengths people will go to in order to show off. Put a $2000 stereo system in, $3000 worth of mags and tyres, neons, pod filter, lower it, and blowoff valve - all on a car (say a 1989 Toyota Corolla) they brought for $500

If motorists go out of their way to improve their driving skills and to make them safer drivers then insurance companies should recognise this and reward them accordingly.
Unfortunately they don't.........When I have rung these insurance companies to ask if they offer discounts for holding an Advanced Driving Certificate their response is........"we don't take that into consideration...............yet"!!!!think insurers should offer some hefty discounts if people pass an advanced course

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

I'm sure it all boils down to the insurers wanting to make as much money as possible...
The way I figure it, they'd save a lot more in the long run as higher trained drivers are much less likely to have an accident.
When I passed my Grade 1 course at work the instructor went as far as to say that if the system was followed correctly, we'd never have an accident which was our fault.
Fingers crossed...

I'm surprised at that as I don't think anyone or any instuctor should safely say that you will never have an accident if you do everything textbook fashion.thehappyotter wrote:the instructor went as far as to say that if the system was followed correctly, we'd never have an accident which was our fault.
No-one can predict the unpredictable but only follow what the rules say. Namely to use a system that is methodical, safe and leaves nothing to chance.
During high response runs or pursuits anything can and often does happen. We have a mixture of Police and civilian instructors who are jointly competetant but obviously the civvies have'nt had the Police experience. :think:
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.
