Smashed It Good

[BIT SUS]

last night at Marden SA some moron in an old lancer decided he would turn right in front of me.

Resulting in this:

I have small cuts up my arm and lungs full of airbag smoke, but otherwise Okay.

let us all pray to the Crash Assessor gods that its not a write off...

[dark.sky]

Sorry to hear about that mate, as long as you are okay thats the main thing.

[Madaz]

sorry for your loss i would first pray to God that your ok and not found to be at fault, also look pretty bad i would say write off Heslo's old car looked like that and they wrote it off

do i hear a cheap RB26 going

[Dohmar]

Sorry to hear about that mate, as long as you are okay thats the main thing.

if its mainly front end damage hopefully the reobar and radiator/cooler took most of the brunt.... front enders always look pretty nasty

engine was still running after the airbags went off....

radiator is sitting against the oil pump, and the passenger door wont open, only cos of the guard. pretty sure the rear passenger door still opens too. I'm going to try and get access to it to take some more photos today

Its insured for $30k, so we'll see what happens

[Madaz]

if the strut tower has moved its a write off if its bent the chassis its a write off

things always never apear as bad as what they are till the pro's point things out to us, good luck sad things happen to good people

any new on how it happened what you were doing

Was travelling towards the city on Payneham road, in the middle lane, when the Lancer heading East turned right from Payneham road onto Portrush road, right in front of my car. I was already braking, doing about 50km/h. He hesitated then for some reason tried to make it. I hit the brakes ASAP, but even Brembo's cant pull up a 1800kilo wagon in <10 metres.

BANG.

[Madaz]

always someone else's incompetence

and who says we don't need tougher driver training

[typevu]

Ouch thats nasty. Hope it goes well in your favour!

[Bakes]

Sorry to hear mate, glad your OK

[Spunky Munky]

Glad you are ok...take care and if he cut right in front of you - I would think it's not your fault.

[BIT SUS]

Its was definitely not my fault.

I've had my crash repair mates look at it, sounds like its gonna be a write off.

Does anyone know where I can get a front cut from an RS4 or 260RS?

I don't want offers on parts either at this stage, so please refrain.

Got monday off to deal with everything:

dang

hows your neck and back today

[craig R33]

we drove past soon after this happened, was gonna stop but seemed you already had nuff help

and didnt wanna get in the way..

sorry to hear mate! wrong place at the wrong time.

hope you get what your after in terms of fixing/replacement.

[babyskyline]

That really sux mate. Hope you get it all sorted out and it works out the way you want

[heslo]

Ouch, looks bad mate. As Steve said, it's pretty similar to my crash. Motor was still running afterwards as well. You might get lucky and they will repair it, however I'm not sure I'd want it back after such a big hit. The good news however is you are all ok, cars can be replaced, people can't

[Houdini]

Crap that sux! I was just commenting on the post a pic thread how cool your all black ride looked too.

Glad you gotout OK and good luck with getting it bak running

[M I K E]

shattered

at least you walked away mate

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

I hope they write it off for you man, they are never the same after a big hit like that.

[RubyRS4]

Aw shit ... that bites the big one! Not a 260!!!

I hope its repairable dude. If its an economic write off, buy it back (cheap) and repair it yourself (via your crash repair mates).

If they do write it off, please PM me. Would like to discuss with you.
