Siena:
It makes perfect sense.

As the owner of a motor vehicle, you're responsible for its use.
Unless you can prove it was stolen, or driven without your consent, you're liable.

Ditto

thegame:
it could as well be the world's most stupid and useless car. look at those tyres.

Na wah for some people!!! "Everyone's a critic."

Message for bonnyface and izidor, FROM THE WHITE MAN,

My friends,

You are giving a very good image of Nigerian, At least I am quite lucky that most of Nigerian i know are not thinking like you.

I think there should be no place for that kind of Racism in nairaland. The subject was that I am selling my car to who ever wants it. Not to start discussion on the bad white guy making money in the country of the good Nigerian. If you want to loose time with such, go to http://www.oyibosonline.com/cpg1412/index.php You will find guys other there for that kind of stupid stuff. Enjoy.

finally I am proud to tell you that even with people like you I will keep a good memory of your country (and this thanks to all Nigerian friends which are not like you),

For all other <serious> people fell free to contact me directly on my email as i believe discussions on this board will take us nowhere

Cheers

The oyibo

Black man!!!! You no go change.

Oyinbo, Tell them, Seconded!!!

Siena:
Modifying a car seldom increases it's original value.
As for those exhaust tailpipes, they just look too wrong, stick out too far!
Makes the car look like a wheel barrow.

Does it ever??

But guys wait a second, What wrong with being ambitious,

nkc, you no go sleep!!!!

ANOTHER UPDATE!!!

Yes O, I felt the need to share my expeiences with everyone so that we can learn from other people's mistakes.

Yesterday, Saturday, was quite eventful. I got the tyre sealant guy from Nairaland to come fill 3 cars's tyres with the stuff, my pathy included. Nice day and all. Was working till about 11am then knocked off for a while. Had a meeting with a client at 430pm so left my house in Ikeja at 4. To cut a long story short, I almost ran into a car that was parked on the speed lane between Alapere and Ogudu. But for God's hand on my life na another story we go dey talk. A moments distraction to look across the median to where there was another accident!!! You know say we be "Lagos Lookers" na!!

Ended up clipping the guys rear and the results can easily be seen. Have spoken to Jenju already and we are working on new fender and bumper. On monday, I will also check out the story with Sunny Motors who sell this type of pathfinder and post my findings.

Moral of the story, Dont take anything for granted. This is my first car accident since 1992. As we drive while talking on the phone, sending text, eating, looking around instead of on the road we should bear in mind the great risk we are taking. I know we are all experts but i tell you, take care!!

My "small" incident should have been a full head-on collision on account of my allowing myself to be distracted for a couple of seconds!!!

But at the end No Shaking and GOD PASS THEM

Enjoy!!!

If it means anything to you, I admire your approach. We never stop learning and we can always be better. See you around.

@ Foto: You've got it wrong!

1kW = 1,36Hp.

193kW would equate to 262Hp!

The ATX engine IS 140kW, which equates to 190Hp.
It's American spec, and output is lower than European models.

European models are AMX / ATQ, and they are rated at 142kW, which equates to 193Hp.
Believe me, I don't make mistakes when it comes to VAG cars.

all this being at STP with fuel having an octane rating of, ?

Again, I dey try you and you don win

@siena
193kw not 190kw

nkc,
Consider this:

http://www.upsolute.com/index.php?option=com_upsolute&task=car&id=574&id_marke=6&id_model=13087

They chipped my TDI and turned my car into a monster.

nkc, make you try sleep ohhh!!! You go get burn out the way you dey go

See your hand done already dey change to claw (as is seen in the last picture you posted)

Ehhh!!!!

Why not if not!!! Who is more important the car or the babe.

The issue is that we get so attached to our toys we cant bear to spend time away from them or feel that there is anyone else who can take care of them like we can.

My own be say, before I go give you ma car or bike, I got to dey sure say you fit buy am. Cos if you crash am, I no go hear sorry!!! Na straight to market so you go buy me new one. I no fit shout!!!

But people is it really "razor blade mouth" or "razor blade finger"

If you want to know what you look like, look in a mirror. People's comments can also be a mirror. They say only a real friend tells his friend that his mouth smells.

We, as individuals, really, are not very good judges of the interpretation of our actions. Others are. You might have the best intentions in the world for your actions but your actions get interpreted for something else. And there is nothing you can do about the interpretation.

NEWS FLASH FOR YOU: you will be dealt with according to the interpretation or motives people give to your actions and not your real intentions or motives. So its up to us to adjust out behavior to such a point that our communication is accurate. In science the word used to describe this is "calibrate".

HR.hotness:
On the contrary, I definately am not trying to change her, i just don't know why we can't agree to disagree. I understand my standards are mine and mine alone but whenever i voice my opinions, she gets so defensive and takes it that i'm trying to change her. . .

AND

Seun:
It's bad taste to cram your "high standards" down the throats of other people.
There's a thin line between "high standards" and "intolerance". It's called "point of view".
You shouldn't be friends with people you can't accept for who they are. That's just wrong.

Its not only my interpretation of your actions (and utterances) that says you are trying to change your friend.

REMEMBER, we dont really know your intentions, we only have our interpretations of your intentions to work with. Even if they are wrong!!! And we will deal with you according to our interpretations. Capish!!!

Dont get defensive. Try to read between the lines. I am only trying to help!! cos I passed through this also.

The change can ONLY come when you realize that although you are a "good" person with good intentions, there are parts of you that can hurt the people you care for without your even knowing or intending to.

They say "PURSUIT IS THE PROOF OF DESIRE". If you really want to learn, do some studying on interpersonal behavior, relationship management and stuff like that.

I wish you all the best.

boss you sure say AMG no dey do G650

Gamine, your attention is needed here!!!

God pass them.

HR.hotness:
I have one rule in my life and that is to always say how I feel. . .
People can always say where they are with me at every moment, I don't know how to pretend.
Maybe its a character flaw but thats the way it is and some people actually appreciate the blunt honesty, I know I do.

I have personal standards and I accept nothing less, does that make me such a bad person?

This sounds so much like me. About 7 years ago!!!

Please have personal standards, but remember, they are personal to you and you alone. To other people, your personal standards really mean nothing

There are somethings I have learnt in life and the top most is that "everyone CANNOT be like me"

This mantra has really helped me cope with "lesser" people's "weaknesses" and has generally changed my point of veiw.

This is what makes life so "interesting". Just imagine if everyine was like you, scary!!!!

If you value your friendship, you will stop trying to get your friend to change and accept her as she is; as stupid as her opinions and decisions might be to you, they are important to her and this should be the only reason for them to be important to you too.

thts wrong logic, washing your car ia analogous to having a bath. making up is like painting the car everysingle day.

Oya simmy, abeg follow through on your logic; what would waxing your car and having it detailed mean And if you want your car to keep on looking good (after lagos drivers scratch it) whats wrong with having it touched up or repainted. Does doing that mean that the car was originally ugly??

Remember the issue here. Some one claims that woman are naturally ugly on account of wearing makeup!!!

@ Jenju,

Can we do one of these again!!!

I need you to break every rule and get me one for me by early next week!!!

I wil pay 100% upfront. CASH!!!

ololade34:
The images are horrific , i felt physically sick and had to rush to the bathroom to throw up after viewing, i clicked thinking it was it was about advice for bikers and bikers wannabe, this is quite sad

I am sorry about your reaction.

But it is advice for bikers and biker wannabes. We need to be aware of the risks and dangers and then we can guard against them. I will put a warning so poeple will beware.

nkc, I notice you have the old school wipers on your car!!!!

First upgrade I will suggest is change them to the new type. They are very aerodynamic and still wipe clean at high speeds. I have tested mine at 160km/h in the rain and they wipe supa clean.

Check out this before you think any further. Riding is VERY serious business.

also i went out this night to look at d car, with a mini torch light, and found out that, it has 2 gigantic exhausts, on d 2sides, men i could not believe my eye, my level don high, i dey drive 2 exhausts,

Point of correction, nkc, it is not "2 exhausts" but "double exhaust"

Contrats bro!!!

Make you no wash away the paint o!! for all the washing wey you dey do!!!

pappilo:
@ blatant

You r a blatant liar!

If your car breaks down on a motorway in the UK, u don't pay any bloody fine! You have phones on the road to call the emergency services to get a free tow to the hard shoulder if the vehicle is obstructing traffic.

papillo cool down. What he said might be subjective but not a lie!!! There are conditions for everything but one thing is for sure; no free lunch in freetown. So even if you make a call to AA, you must have taken the policy first!!!

UP LAGOS!!! Maybe now we can have some sanity and not think that "sorry" will cut it.

We are a country of apologists; Someone hits your car; Sorry; Someone breaks the law; sorry. Enough is enough. I just hope they will keep it up and not stop after a couple of months.

I remember when tinubu was sending people to yaba. People sat up. Go on Fashola
