VR Series 2 V6 ute
Well today my car got taken off the road by a P Plater.

Standing at a T Junction, waiting for traffic to clear to turn right.

A Light truck was heading towards me on my right, to turn into the street I was on.
Soon as he got close, a Mazda 6 overtook him and steered into his lane and clipped my bumper. There was no way for him to see that I was there as the light truck obscured his view. He cut too quickly too close to the stop line where I was. (There is maybe half meter from the stop line to the main road)

As you can see, I have NO frontal impact damage, it's all just from the corner, he clipped me bad and ripped off half my bumper and took out my headlight.

As you can see from the other drivers car, it starts as a light impact until my bumper gripped in front of his rear wheel.

The young bloke was complaining as he had just had lowered his suspension, but was happy I didn't damage his old RIMs cos they don't fit anymore....

I only have third party, fire and theft on this car, so have to fight the S.O.B. now.

Cleaned and put the piping back on the compressor. It popped off during standard peacetime 'boost exercises' up Ginninderra Drive. Poor old fella in the Camry that happened to be right next to me (only other car on the road, dammit) must have **** as many bricks as I did, it's like a bomb going off.

Meanwhile for 5 minutes I was reminded how slow an N/A Emo really is. Ouch.

Also chucked a flattened cardboard box under the engine to save from staining the driveway any further.
