    At my work I will sometimes give a rough estimate of price before going to all the effort of preparing a quote to weed out the time wasters.

    I should have. Knew it would have been around, just was unsure as it was my first full alloy quote.

    Some young P-plater cockroach in a new-ish Patrol,decided to be a bit of a hero and put on a show on the Ring road before.
    Traffic flowing smoothly, and he's lane hopping like an idiot, couldn't make up his mind where he wanted to be. His 3L revving it's gaskets off while hes getting absolutely no where. I have no idea what he was trying to prove. Nearly swerved into multiple cars on a many occasions, making them panic and swerve everywhere them selves.

    Somebody must have had enough, I didn't see what occurred, but I assume they opened the window and had a crack at him. As his lane was faster flowing ,he slammed on the brakes to slow down to the pace of the driver who had a go at him to retaliate.

    Little did he know he had 3 tonnes of another patrol behind him (my car), and I tell you what my car doesn't stop in a hurry. My heart sat in the passenger seat next to me for the next few seconds as I braced for impact, in my mind saying good bye to my family.... and my 4.2 !
    Somehow the Patrol managed to pull up in time though. But it would have been quiet an impact, and ultimately my fault for rear ending him. I was shaking in fear and anger so much I forgot to press the button on my dash cam to save the video (video loops every 3 minutes). So so so pissed off I didnt capture that !

    It was the first time I've ever used the brakes in this fashion on the Patrol. ABS worked....But now I have a solid ABS light on after that, while the car is running.

    What a dick....
    I take it a new pair of undies for everyone.

    Is your footage on a SD card?
    If so it wouldn't record over till the card is full. The 3 minute loop is just a 3 minute video. Some have a sensor that lock the file after impact, I know that you didn't hit but just the nose dive might be enough to trigger it.
    Anyway pop out the card and see what's on it.

    I checked and there is nothing on the except the last 3 minutes of on time. It's designed to do that.
    This cam does have the G sensor and GPS, but it didn't trigger. This is just a cheapo Gator dash cam.
    Absolutely spewing.
