    Yeah, 2011 holden cruise. I hit their drivers side wheel and quarter panel.

    The reality if it has just sunk in that there is a massive possibility of it being a write off. Ive put so much into this ute so now im upset and angry so im gonna go hit up the gym for a few hours

    Far out! Hopefully it isn't! Would be such a waste. Would you be able to keep it for parts?

    Bugger man just read the rest of the thread as well
    No good, all U-turns are illegal here in WA so we don't get people who do it generally, I know victoria it's legal unless signed right?

    Im in victor harbor sa. What happened is he came out of stratcos (hardware) and tried turning right over duel seeled lines and only looked left forbthe traffic in the other lane not the right where I was coming from. Shes going in on monday to see what the go is.... Gonna be sad if shes a def write off.

    If both chassis rails are pushed back a bit and 1 has bulged out aswell as the top and bottom radiator supports are twisted and damaged chances arent good are they :/

    Oh nice! Such good news! Hopefully she still drives the same after being repaired. Fresh paint would be lovely. :)

    Damn lucky they covered it. No matter what though I doubt it will ever be the same again after a hit like that.

    I know but i will see how she drives.

    Now im a bit funny about leaving my car anywhere with the keys so what are some of the things i should note before taking my car over to get fixed?
    Record ks and fuel usage, tire wear and take new pics of interior incase they tear my seats? Stuff like that ya reckon?
