Here's my VN 1989 (series 1) V6 Auto Berlina.

Hello all, i'm new here!

It was purchased on New Years Day 2009, as a new years resolution 'to never being driven by someone again'. As subsequently, being driven by someone else allways involves severe accidents. Last October (2008) I was being driven by a female aquaitance from uni, who for reason unknown steered into incomming traffic. THe passenger side (me) ended up hitting a Mack Truck semi-trailer.
I survived, though not quite walked away - sustained a burst fracture of my L3 vertebrae due. Not too bad considering it took the paramedics 40mins to cut me out. Been in hospital till December '08, and been 'rehabbing since.
