Well,... whats the diference between destroying a Datsun that you own, or one that you don't,... by any means,... under any circumstances? [being hit by another vehicle excepted]

Just for the record, the train was parked across the road, I was doing about 100, blind crest, Hello train, AINT NO WAY I'M DRIVING AROUND THAT!. Nothing but brake

hmmm

sometimes lack of commitment just equals preservation of life

if your talking a big gum tree out in the forest, not a hay bale or tyre wall

You have to hit something properly. Foot must still be hard up it in a desperate attempt to post a time until it leaves the ground. No point in doing things by half measures...

I guess going through whatever you hit backwards is also acceptable. Any damage in the front of the car only is not....shows a lack of commitment....may as well buy a 4WD turbo if you dont have commitment....

Ok I should have added disclaimer; If a said Datsun lover reshapes their car in a blaze of glory than this is acceptable. A blaze of glory is defined as followed. Stuffing it at a hillclimb , track day or roadrace. also included would be rotating the horizon at a rally - I.E. a rollover.
Over driving your car and crashing on public roads is not a blaze of glory and here is why: At a competition event there will be witnesses who likely have a camera so all lunatic Datsun lovers can enjoy seeing you drive the wheels off the poor car. Also once you compete in a race or rally you will be so addicted that you will fix the car as quickly as possible.

i would be saying that too after the work you did, but then i wouldnt trust em to fix it

Yes I have told the girls DONT LEND YOUR DAT TO ANY ONE NOT EVEN THE GUY FRIENDS! If he wants to drive the dat thay got to married you. HE BRAKES IT HE FIX IT OR DAD BRAKES HIM.

Now there's an interesting point. If we are prepared to lynch non Datsun people for bending out pride & joy, what do we do to people who profess to love Datsuns, but recklessly damage or destroy them. Do we draw & quarter them?

Respect your Datsun, do NOT drive it like you stole it.

I had every bit of respect for my 140J, still that didn't stop me landing it on a beach, and driving it into a train.

ouch!

i cant complain i did the opposite, i stacked my mates mazda 1300 rallycar, $700 later shes as good as new

that is till he rolled it, now i dont feel so bad
