A kangaroo stole my front spoiler!

[rev210]

Luck was not on my side on tuesday night.

I was driving home from albany and a pack of roos decided to have a go at my car. one of them took out my front end busting the front spoiler and lights an another two bounced off the sides of the car.

The damage left the car undrivable and a broken peice of the radiator shroud cut the timing belt by the looks. Now I have to wait for the whole insurance thing, before I can drive around again.

Unlucky!

I know the feeling

[ix9]

So you hit the roos while driving ?

Or it was one of those freak "when roo's are smack addicts who are looking for another fix"

Good luck with the insurance thing tho'

... wonder what will happen with the no claim bonus thing.. *sigh*

[ImPrOvIsE]

unlucky rev210. If youve got a dog you can be resourceful with the pre-tenderised roo meat. Might make you feel better.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

dam that farked...hopefully u get it fixed soon

[red17]

See if you were in teh volvo then those roos wouldnt have had a chance. Good old Swedish engineering!

no claim bonus might stay okay, depending on company, they will hopefully class as not at fault

Rev look at it as a blssing.

Now you get all new paint redone and stone chips removed. While its at the paint shop get all the little imperfections fixed for a little extra cash.... and presto.. NEW CAR.

Dave, Bummer, I hit a roo in Ken's Maverick, but the roo bar worked well;)

[NuGGeT]

yeh rev, just hope its a write off, and then insted of selling it for 16k you will get alot more from insurance and u'll end up better, but if not those roos suck

[zanda]

yeah, any chance of a write-off?

sorry to hear about that buddy....

I can't believe paul is still whoring from Adelaide hahaha

:bahaha: :bahaha:

[MearCat]

Sorry to hear the troubles mate. I've been lucky enough to avoid any roos on the drive back home to Albany occasionally but have seen the damage those buggers ONE can do but three? Ouch.

I agree w/ IMACUL8 - bellsing in diguise - time to get those little imperfections fixed.

[rev210]

Next time I won't be making the night drive home, I'll just stay at the esplanade and have a few beers at the bar in front of the fire.

Simon, You better believe it:p

Dave, The number of roo's on the Nullabor I was surprised not to hit more, but they do decide to jump in front of the car for no reason:(

[bully]

rule number one of driving the nullabour

(note i have done it 20 times in a car and 100+++++ in buses and trucks)

if in anything smaller than a 20 tonne truck fitted with a bullbar DONT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT the roos come to the side of the road to eat the fresh grass etc growing in the culverts especially after a bit of rain

[just rice]

hmm lucky i wasn't driving at night when i went to albany other wise i wouldn't have a car lol
