    Public Interaction, The Good, The Bad & The Hilarious

    in General Car Chat

    Posted

    I have to say there has not been any bad interaction from public when I have been with RX3.

    Here are my top 3 interactions:

     

    1. My first drive took it to Hahei and as I pull in to park at BP Solar Markovina's white RX3 drag car on trailer parks up next to us. I was all wow neato burrito and carried on nervously filling 1/100 premix. The strangest part was we didn't approach the drag car as basically had to stay with mine, but they approached us. I went to pay, and one of the guys towing down asked if Karl was rotorhoe off oldschool. Karl then was all "Um, nope. She is." Good times.

     

    2. At Wynyard Quarter one night I got out to take a photo of my car with skytower and this older man approached and said two main things. Firstly, "I've been watching you drive, your taillight is out" (odd) and then "shouldn't you take your boyfriends car home now, it's late" and I proceeded to laugh- he did not get this. Then he said he could show me photography under the harbour bridge and I was like yeah keen! I'm kidding, I drove home.

     

    3. Driving along East Coast Road and this young guy loses his mind and I see him slowly mouth "ho - lee - fu - ck" before realising there were people tooting behind him wishing to go faster than a slow pace swerving into oncoming traffic. 

     

     

    My favourite family reactions top 3 are:

     

    1. Drive down to Leadfoot and ring Rodney and he excitedly says "what is that I hear in the background? Gas station, now"

     

    2. Went to my Grans house and she cried with joy and said it was the proudest moment so far

     

    3. Props to my mum, she is the most excited about it. We were on way to WOF and I was coming down the hill I was doing 60ish and mum yells "HIT IT GIRL". So we did some minor girlracing as she wanted the WOF man to know I was on my way

    Let me tell you about my most favourite product in the entire world: 

     

    1000-2.jpg?1406826315

     

    Firstly you pay a man, he spends a week and polishes and straightens them for a sharp price.

    Then you take Autosol with you everywhere (or buy a new ones because other one is "lost" in the boot)

    Prepare for any photo opportunity, shine n show.

    Guaranteed profit, guaranteed filthy hands and rags.

    Steven. Strip the engine yourself, assess the damage, get bits and rebuild yourself. Seriously they are the easiest engines to build. There is NO black magic. No wizardry. Just parts that you look over, measure, fettle if needed and replace in the right place and right order. It is simple. I'd say the most time consuming bit is cleaning all the parts! Take your time, drink coffee and HAVE FUN LEARNING. Feel satisfied that you built your motor and you know exactly how well its been put together. If not sure then check on Google but the mazda manuals and haynes don't really miss anything. If you need an engineering eye over it, second opinion as such and support then get sheepers etc to have a double check. Or take parts to another 'rotary specialist..' and ask advice.

    But just do it. They are easy. Plenty of top advice and good experience just with this bunch on here.
