New Zealand Datsun Club

I need cheering up, so lets hear your stories.
I'll kick things off
This morning I was trying to crash start the wagon down the driveway in reverse by myself and ended up with the datsun stuck in the fence!
Wifey was thoroughly impressed.
Now I need to fix the fence and I cracked one of my new tail light lenses and dented my prevoiusly dent free rear bumper. FUUUUUCK!
It's going to be one of those stories I'm find hilarious eventually but right now i'm pretty bitter

bahahahahaha now that is funny bro ill have a think on something ive done

where's the sympathy!

I feel for ya, but the (not so) best part is you cant change it and it will be remembered.
I went to the all whites game last night and got home at 11am this morning, I have assignments due today and Im only half way through doing them.

yeah, Atleast the neighbour was good about it. He came and helped me push it out of the garden, he's also going to help fix the fence on the weekend.
Could have been worse. Could have missed the fence and hit his trailer (a navara wellside "trailer") and done a whole shitload more damage to both AND got stuck in the gutter as we have those awesome epically deep gutters
Pretty funny, but I think i'll still use today to sulk.

I would be pretty embarrassed and filled with regret going to an All Whites Football match too. What were you thinking???

wow, that sucks dude. At least its a tough old datto, if it was a ford you'd just throw it away and get a new one

A "Stupid shit" moment that springs to mind was when I "Borrowed" mums car when I was 14
Me and some mates were going to the beach so we took mums car while she was at work, It was on empty so we went to chuck some gas in.
I parked on the wrong side for the petrol flap & the hose didnt quite reach so I jumped in & reversed up about 3 feet.
It was right about that moment I learned the ever important lesson of closing the drivers door before driving anywhere as I bent the door back flush with the car on one of those meaty steel poles in front of the pump.

Mum made sure I regretted it for about a year!

i borrowed the olds p11 primera wen i was 14 and took it down to beach to do speed runs with my mates. the moment i knew i regretted it was at bout 160 clicks and the front of the car got airbone off a half submerged log didnt end well it was sorta like the the first lap of bathurst bits of car every where. then there was the time i rolled my gsr thro the front window and into a fish and chip shop but thats another story

Standing drunk against a wall butt naked then having my friends launch a sausage at me with a 3man slingshot from 10 metres away, that thing can fire things a couple of hundred metres and they didnt miss.

Ouch! And running around behind old warehouses and cutting your leg right open on a old broken toilet would have to be right up there Andy?

Ive got a close call
Saturday night before the peeps come over for housewarming i had the ute in the garage and the cherry half way down the drive. I thought id show off to my mate whilst in the ute and do a skid. Knowing very well the ute had no form of brakes what so ever. Done small reverse skid then realised the dumb shit i had just done as i hurtled towards the little cherry at pace with my big box section deck that would have written the cherry off.
With mere inches to spare i threw it into 1st and took off back towards the garage. Phew!!
