This really is not my year....

[Ewok]

The Sv6 is no more.

This morning travelling to work 7:30am, I was headed north bound on West Coast Highway to turn Right onto Hale road, waiting for the traffic (was a green light but not for turning lane right) so was waiting for southbound traffic on WCH to stop. Lights went amber and the southbound traffic in the left lane stopped, but some idiot in the right lane went through the amber, I saw him so I waited, had another look saw a bus taht was slowing down, and started to take off round onto Hale road. BAM, ****ing bus runs the red and cleans me up. The entire front of my car is completely F***ED. 18tons vs 1.8tons, not a good way to go

I'm ok though, both drivers and passengers airbags went off and I got out of the car straight away. Was taken to charlie gardner hospital by the ambo's just in case, but I just have a strained back muscle. Fkn bus drivers man.

So now I have to look for a new car...

[PaulSV6]

Fark mate, at least ur ok.
Dont get me started on Bus drivers. Any Pics, i imaging the cars a write off

[Ewok]

The car is a write off for sure. In my shocked state I was still able to take 2 pics of it, not very good pics considering, bloody shaky hand, but I'll post em.

[Max2]

shite, glad you're alright mate, could've been a lot worse considering a bus was involved.
Insured I hope.
onwards and upwards, good luck with the new car search.

[minux]

Although it sucks you lost your car, who did police determine was at fault? Hopefully you had witnesses so you cant be done for failing to give way.

[FAT.36L]

Thats No Good Mate I Take It You Had Insurence I Work At A Bus Depot As A Panel Better And Some Of The Drivers Are Bloody Hopeless Cant Evan Park A Car In The Carpark

Hope Your Alright

[Ewok]

Yeah I have full compo, and I also have 6 witnesses who will testify hand on bible that the bus driver ran the red. However the crash scene coppers reckon there might be an infringement in it for me for failing to wait for all traffic to stop, regardless the fact that I was in the right and he crossed through a red light. THAT sucks ass in itself, but just as long as my insurance coughs up, should be fine. Coz the car is financed, the payout will cover the cost of the loan of course, so I'm already looking around for a new one hehe. Thinking something along the lines of VY-VZ SS .... will see

[GAMBLR]

jeez mate that sucks! glad to see you got out of it alright. all the best with the insurance and police reports and stuff.

[Ewok]

[Ewok]

so I was crossing to the right of screen (on the pics) and I am now facing south bound on west coast highway (originally north turning right onto hale (east)). The force of the impact was so ****ing hard, (on the passenger side front) taht the drivers side headlight assembly ended up on the northbound side of the highway.

[FAT.36L]

HOLY F**K It Almost Tookm The Whole Front Off

[VZMAX]

GOD!!!!! That is massive...

[Escape-The-Fate]

yep..he f**king cleaned you up pretty good, glad to hear your ok mate..good luck with insurance and police reports..in my accident insurance took about 4 days and police report took a few weeks =/

[hingo1983]

He didn't miss, that is for sure. Good luck with finding your new car.

[Kal123]

Jesus man!! That bloody sucks, glad noone was hurt though..

[ScoHar]

bloody bus drivers, lucky your ok though looks like it could've been worse.

[Troy711]

Far out dude, that's a pretty nasty impact! Atleast you were not seriously hurt.

Did you happen to cop a smell of the airbags? lol

[mainpath]

Holy Crap!
Thank God your okay! at least we know that the vz can withstand an 18t hit!
Good luck with everything hope it gets resolved!

[BANKS]

[danja]

It'll buff out?


Oh And FAT.36L This Isn't How You Use Capitalisation. Just the first word will do, and the names of things, like Holden Commodore. Sorry, pet peeve.

[Ewok]

Haha yeah the airbags smelled terrible. Fortunately I was witting back in me seat and didnt cop a face full. Made the loudest bloody sound exploding too. Probably because the
Windows were up.

[tanner892]

damn, so time for a v8 now or what? :P
