fark sorry to hear about the car ben but good to your ok!

fully insured? surely that's gonna be a write off??

Mate that sucks! Hope everything gets sorted asap and without any hassle.

Howd the roo come off? Little bastard better be dead...

And those are some wicked huge spotties!!

I'm just waiting for the quote to go through - another few days, as the admin chick at the shop is off at the moment.

Yea, fully insured Aek - I won't own anything worth more than a few grand that isn't - just not worth the hassle if something does happen. Unsure as to which way it will go yet - Possible structural, depending on the outcome of the panel mentioned in the first post.
I'll take a photo this arvo of it and if anyone knows or works in a crash shop can tell me what the go will be with it, that would be much appreciated.

It's insured for $14,100 (don't ask me how its worth that much, especially considering it doesn't take the wheels or the stereo into account... My jaw dropped when I heard that!), so it will take an awful lot of damage to write the old girl off economically. That said, I'll be a happy man if they do write it off, I'll be up by a few grand...

Insurance company is actually being a pleasure to deal with at this point, so no dramas there! Yea, he ate a mix of bitumen and dirt soon after. If he didn't he wouldn't have lasted long anyway - I was fair pissed off at him at that stage. Spotties are damned useful! The ability to read signs at 400m helps! (and no-one seems to high beam me anymore, I wonder why ). I've missed so many roo's courtesy of them, just they don't help that much at 9.15 in the morning... Lightforce 240 Blitz's - expensive, but worth every penny.

XoN - I was extremely lucky in that respect - I caught him mid bounce, so the impact point was right where the head light should be - the wiring is all that is left. If I collected him at the the top of his bounce, he would have slid across the bonnet, and at the speed he was moving, he would have landed in my lap, probably very alive and very scared.

Well, we'll see what comes out of it... and hope that I don't collect another one...

Edit - Have a look, see what you think - structural or what?

Ok, got her back end of last week, been busy with work and such like though, so heres the new pics. Damn she looks good clean and with fresh paint. Crash shop did a great job on her, despite taking about a month and a half to get it done. Still a few minor items they need to get, but she is drivable.







Few little perks with the repair, a few small things that didn't work prior to the accident are magically working now, the roo took out one of the spots, but you can't buy them as individuals, so I got a new pair out of it. Few other little things, but shes basically a better car as a result...

Looks like new, very nice!
