Very bad day... car written off
Hey guys, just got home from what was suppost to be a early day and to fix my car.. anyways here is the story
I was travelling down greens road, I was on my way to kumbak wreckers to pick up a fuel pump, while I stopt to turn right into kumbaks driveway I noticed I was about 3metres to far to turn right.. so I reversed and stopt where I was suppost to be.. This is where I stuffed up, I looked when I revervsed for oncoming traffic but I dont think I did a check when I turnd right into kumbak
And the company I work for, semi trailer truck slammed into my rear door, spinning me into kumbaks pole/gate with so much force it has smashd all rear windows, rear bar off, rear panels all fckd, all lights garnish smashed... and alot more... front end is fine though
Police + ambos arrived, and I walked away with just a stiff neck and back, and another loss of 3 points :@
As some of you know I was getting this car ready to be supercharged in 2 weeks, but unforunetly that isnt going to happen and I will be wrecking the VT
Im thankfull that im alive, and the truck just dropped his load so he didnt have that extra weight
Thought ild get it off my chest...

Good luck, you got hit by a truck and got away without serious injuries. It may not seem so, but you're bloody lucky.
Are you insured?

Yeah full comp, im going to go to see the car on tuesday and inspect it more... though im an idiot,the only mod I didnt tell them about was my exhaust+extractors so I might be in a bit of ****.... which is not good..though my friends mum who works for AAMI said because it DIDNT cause the accident she thinks they will just pay me out(I HOPE)
and yes im very lucky, I remember spinning around 2 or 3 times and I really did think I was dead! Heres a image to say really how lucky I AM: http://csereport2005.bluescopesteel....terial-eff.jpg thats the EXACT truck that hit me

Yeah I just served a month for speeding, and then vicroads sent me that letter with the options and it said I had to hand my license in on the 29th of this month which ment I get my license back untill the 29th, when I have to serve another 3months for no points. Just got my license back for 6 days also ( I made a thread on it recently because i was confused if I do get it back or not for the 1 month )
yeah hope I get paid out to mate, its going to be a long weekend alright..........

Any modifications are ok so long as the car is roadworthy, it's just that if you don't tell them about the mods the mods are not included in the value of the car. That's how I read my policy anyway
