Used to get this all the time at shows
People would lean over the ropes to touch the car
One day a guy lent over and was touching the rear tyres on the tonner (345/35/15)
The car owner walked up behind the guys girlfreind and lifted her short skirt and gave her a nice grab
The guy turned around fast looking for a biffo
Till it was explained that my mate was only looking with his hands just like he was doing to the car
Obviously they walked off in disgust

Gold!

This is the reason I don't take my car to the Summernats anymore.

Displaying the car for the Show 'n Shine, I left the car for about an hour to wonder around and have a look at the other cars on display. I came back and the car was dented in several areas and there was a guy who though it was OK to park his asre in the driver's seat.

Go figure!

They don't understand, and their parents were idiots and never took them to carshows.

How many times do you see parents walking around with kids and the kids are falling against the cars and shit, and the parents don't do shit! Some people have so little respect. I don't think there is an easy solution for it, just gotta politely point it out to them and hope it sticks

Oh man... this topic shits me!!

You guys are SOOOOooooo Right! Many people just simply dont have respect!!

I've only shown my car a few times, but i ALWAYS come back to hand prints everywhere and i've heard of damage and missing parts! Luckily never to my car.. but the hand prints!!

I have a friend in the MODE club i'm in and his car seems to be a dickhead magnet.... SO many people think it's ok to get in and have a photo inside!! What Tha!?!?!


Neil - to your mate.. that's awesome!!

Though i must say I've also had MANY very respectful people who often fold their arms behind their back when leaning in for a better look just to make SURE they dont accidentally touch!! (That's what i do!)

Cheers!

agree, but my kids know the rules, they are not allowed within 5 metres of a car unless a.) they have their hands behind their back or b.) hands on head. my son touched a mates car once and i made him walk around all day with his hands straight up in the air, he felt like a dickhead and never done it again!

I hate seeing people touch other peoples cars, I mean so many people put there hearts and souls into getting there car polished and cleaned for a car show, and a single finger print makes it look dirty. I hate touching someone elses car even if they ask me to (feel how smooth the paint is etc). I just stand back and admire.

This is a common problem experienced by many torana owners, (according to me Dr. Mick)

I know people shouldn't touch other peoples property but they can't help themselves, (sort of an involuntary sexual type of thing)

Firstly, they see your car and use the first sense of sight (no harm done).

Then they hear your 355 V8 motor (second sense hearing, still ok).

Then they want to touch your car ( third sense of touching) perhaps a bit of stroking and fondling?

Now you need to be careful because the two remaining senses are smell and taste.

You need to be very careful where you park your car and if you need a second opinion, I'm sure Dr Terry can assist.

Cheers Mick.

I can see a few members now sitting around waiting for someone to touch their car...

^HUGE gripe of mine too!
yes ive been part of the "pram brigade" but if i wanted a look see the other half took over duties so i could have a gork.

as for pram brigade members with another pram pushers who refuses to move out of everyone general direction? ram the pram! i had a brilliant jogger pram that had a bullbar on it and my god did i use it, fantastic height for shins and bent wheels on other prams.
As is always suggested by mother groups, never skimp on the price of a good pram not only is it safe for ya kid it can be used as a weapon!

PEOPLE touch because they are ignoant and have no respect for their own property, let alone yours.
In the late 80's when the EA Falcon was released, we had the first one in town, a light blue Fairmont Ghia with a rare factory manual. I parked it in the servo one day and walked nto our office. I look across the street and this ignorant prick opens the door and sits inside. I run over and he abuses me (the alarm was going off) because I hadn't locked the car. Um hello f*ckwitt, why were you in the car in the first place?
