Hi Guys,

Didn't have time to post this before, but here are the pics of my car crash a few months back.

I was coming down the hill near the local mines at night during some raid and saw a kangaroo on the corner, went to serve around it and got hit from behind by another car. The car started to spin and I countered, but then the car slide sideways though the mine's boundry fence, and took out 6 meters of the fence. I was also going under the speed limit.

It was $13,000 (Australian) to repair the car, thank god I was insured. Worst thing was I had new M3 mirrors installed a day before so they weren't covered by insurance 02.gif

I got out of the accident with a cut on the foot and also pulled my shoulder out of socket during the crash.

Now the pics









I'll post more later.

The guy drove off after the accident, he didn't even stop. Bastard. I was just getting out the car when he drove off.

I'll try and post new pics after I've cleaned her.

yeah one time when i was changing lanes in columbus (some really retarded drivers) the guy in the other lane didn't want me to come over so he gunned it. ( before changing lanes i could see him in my rearview mirror). he ended up rubbing my bumper a bit. when i pulled over he kept on going..... fortunently my car was wet + really dirty at the time and i guess that was enough to protect it cause it looked really scraped. then i wiped off the dirt and it was fine!

Nah mate, I've got my opens. I was lucky, AAMI decided it would cost them more to pay me out than to repair it.

Wasn't a right off, the car was worth $15,000. Even the guys who fixed it said it should have been an economic write-off
