I don't blame the workers, these idiots park where they want and think I am rich I will just pay the tickes and keep parking here and stuff everyone else
Good on the forkie he needs a medal..

Felony · 18-01-2007, 01:11 PM

Thats outrageous lol, the car wasnt to be parked there but the builders just move cars round at will with their forklifts?
the sheer arrogance....

Ruger · 18-01-2007, 01:12 PM

Good on em
Bloody idiots thinking they are above the law because they drive a fancy car.

MITCHAY · 18-01-2007, 01:13 PM

Open top mod anyone?

: Wonder who would foot the bill.

It was parked illegally but doesn't excuse that behaviour. Could of just got it towed.

arrogance is the idiots that think they can park where ever they like. they deserve to get their car tipped. if they really need to park it their ask the bloody supervisor of the construction site.

**Polyal** · 18-01-2007, 01:20 PM

HAHAHA

Id be ****ed though, and sack every bastard that was laughing...jk

Can you imagine the guy on the fork lift...bwhahaha...doing his "getaway" and at the point were his gone "ah crap, this is not good".

EA2BA · 18-01-2007, 01:21 PM

signs exist for a reason, as if they didnt know they were doing the wrong thing, desrves the owner right, the arrogance is on behalf of the owners not the forklift driver.

TheSneakiness · 18-01-2007, 01:23 PM

I'm with the workers on this one.

But when that guy comes back, he can just as easily sue the construction company for the cost of a replacement one...

The fork lift driver is gone, he has no legal right to move it, even if it is parked illegally, so what, shoot the guy?!

Im tipping the owner of the Maserati has a lawyer.

EA2BA · 18-01-2007, 01:25 PM

she parks a car knowing its a construction zone and the just says stuff the company, who need the space for unloading of trucks (otherwise council would not have sanctioned the zone)

maybe arrogance on both sides, but the dumb *** woman started it, as usual

maybe she was just getting a coffee, maybe she was the wife of the construction manager and she was just dropping in..who knows.

Id be ****ed if someone moved my car with a bloody forklift, and its only a falcon!

Kommandant · 18-01-2007, 01:29 PM

no the article states it was a woman who lived on the street, so she probably done it often

ah yeah..LOL...I'll read it properly next time. Either way its no excuse to move the car like that.

Just get the thing towed...jeez..she has just moved into a new area, give her a break.

kramo · 18-01-2007, 01:33 PM

Maybe there was a bit more to the story. Parking may have been limited if she lived in the street.

Hope the forklift driver gets screwed and respects people's property from now on.

charles_wif_xf · 18-01-2007, 01:34 PM

When I was working for a plasterer some years back, a similar situation arose. Car had blocked the only entrance to the site and a delivery was just coming in (tiles if I remember correctly). The forkie was making his way to the driveway and lo and behold some P.O.S (I'd love to say Commonwhore but I really don't remember what sort of car it was) was blocking the driveway. So he forks a pallet, scoots over to the offending vehicle, picks it up with the pallet (so as to not damage the car underbody) and moves it some spots down. Problem solved. Hours later, the moron owner didn't have the foggiest idea that we moved his car on him and we are ****ing ourselves laughing.

Moral of the story is... I like stories.

It will buff out.

Funny thing is she was not the owner, just looking after it. Hate to be in her shoes, And two wrongs don't make it right either. Working for a company and going out on a limb to get the job done, I don't see the company patting him on the back for his efforts there. Thats what police and councils are for and should have been called. The worker will pay the price.

Yellow_Festiva · 18-01-2007, 01:42 PM

Guys you are quick to condem the woman! it could have been an honest mistake on her part, the fact that she drives a flash car has nothing to do with it. we should not assume anything. what if she was waiting for the NRMA, perhaps out of petrol? perhaps while the car was parked legally the keys were locked in the car, or the house? ?????? this could have happened to ANY of you guys...

How many of you guys have got a parking fine for mis understanding the signs? i got done under the coat hanger caus the sign was split in 2 and i failed to read the separate clearway sign....

This is a prank gone bad. the driver of the fork lift should be condemmed and the car should be replaced at the cost of the cunstruction company. you would be spitting chips if it was your car im sure.....

She only just moved in. They might of even parked one of their trailers, skips or dumped some of their equipment in a parking zone too.

photn · 18-01-2007, 02:06 PM

hehehe that would be funny plying Musical Cars with ppls cars along the Street completely Fcking them up teehee.......

BUt yer i see serious side lol.....im with Mitchay on this one. the Insurance Company can say the only way to salvage it was to chop the Roof off lol.....

eXtremist · 18-01-2007, 02:13 PM

It'll buff out.. :nutsycuck

EA2BA · 18-01-2007, 02:23 PM

Just moved in, never been there before, whats it matter .... READ THE SIGN... parking in a clearway doesnt mean your car wont get towed cause you didnt know, ignorance is no excuse.

towed fair enough, fork lifted...I think foooking not!

RG · 18-01-2007, 02:31 PM

Bet she still gets a parking fine.

drcook · 18-01-2007, 02:35 PM

"Two days ago Ms Huljich moved the car to a construction zone, where parking is not permitted after 7am."

it would seem the car had been there for 2 days, illegally parked. who knows, maybe the construction company did call the police or council and nothing happened.

in all seriuosness, that a bad call by the forklift driver, but i have to admit i had a giggle.

it reminds me of the stories of firefighters in the US smashing windows of cars to put the hose through to connect to the fire hidrants.

now please excuse me while i measure out my xy to see if it will fit a maserati engine & driveline!

flappist · 18-01-2007, 02:37 PM

Some of you people are beyond unbelievable.

If the car had been a Phase 3 GTHO you would all be down there with baseball bats and shotguns.
If it is ok to do that then I suppose it is ok to destroy YOUR car the next time you overstay a parking meter.
Or even better, if you are in the right lane and I want to pass I can just fire a few shots through your window to make you wake up.

The forklift driver has destroyed private property. He should be held accountable for it both criminally and civilly.

gozza · 18-01-2007, 02:45 PM

I think the car owner and his highly paid lawyer will be having the last laugh

More to claim than just the vehicle expense

Agreed. Call the police or the council to get it towed. If anyone done this to my car I would be sueing them.

merlin · 18-01-2007, 02:54 PM

I hope the forklift driver gets sued for everything he owns...what a dumb thing to do seriously.....
