Hey Guys,

Was driving home from a Friends place yesterday when I hit an oil patch and the back end swung out. The road was to narrow and wet to bring it back, so into the clay wall i went. I managed to swing it so the front end went in and not the sides. I was only doing 40ks in the 60zone as i knew it was really wet and was going up a hill. Will post pictures when i get home. At a mates place at the moment as i had about 9 Jim Beams to help with it all last night :thumbsup:

I would say its a complete write off :( Air bags went off, so they will need to be replaced, but from what i understand the whole interior dash needs to be replaced?

Pics will be up soon

Cheers

That's tough man. I had a bingle in my VP on an oily road in the rain. Dead straight line, the car just rotated and left the road.

Hope it's repairable :)

Thanks guys, Yeah I'm ok just a few cuts and red mark where the air bag hit me and also abit of Whip Lash. Morton yes that's excat same situation that happened to me. People have been saying you could of gotten out of it. Those people have no idea how bad the road was nor driven a rear wheel drive before.

Fat.36L I only got the 2.5" red back exhaust on it and that was it :( Going back out to where i got it towed to tomorrow to have another look and hope i can get it back here. Praying for the best that i can get it repaired :) Left my camera at my mates place, so pics will be coming tomorrow. Sorry for the delay :(

Hopefully insurance comes through. Get another sweet car.

Hard luck dude, the weather and conditions can be mean to us at times.
