Carefull in the wet guys (and bloody drunk drivers)

[QIK006]

Got that dreaded phone call this morning... A drunk driver had stacked it into the back of my pride and joy. Luckily the better half wasnt in the car when old mate hit it.











In the last pic, the lady on the far left of the pic, is where the front of our car was before he hit it.

That's no good mate, thank god no one was in the vehicle at the time though.

[charles_wif_xf]

Glad your partner is ok. The car is a writeoff however...

Wouldn't be a write off if Eric Bana owned it

Hahahahaha, I agree. But if I had Erics Money & Good looks, the missus would have been driving her own car, instead of mine

[superfly]

Fair out, that was a hard hit! Glad no one was injured. Bummer about your car though.

I'm amazed though how well the 4WD looks.

the beauty of crumple zones. modern cars are designed to protect the occupants, not look good in a crash.

Spot on .. I would have rather taken that hit in an FG than even my 18" long, all American steel Plymouth Fury ..

Glad eveyone was OK.

yep, the driver of the vitarra should be very grateful they hit a 5 star car and something on wheels. had they hit a more solid object the result may have been very different for them.

Bloody mongrel waste of space drink drivers, there's nothing I loathe more. It's such a selfish dog act, to get wasted then risk people's lives by getting behind the wheel. Really sorry to hear your pride and joy is gone mate, but at least nobody was hurt.

that's a small Fury. did you mean 18' (18 foot?)

QIK006, hows the heart when you saw it?

I was 1/2 an hour away from it when I got the call from the missus. and asked for a pic to be sent to me so I wasn't too shocked when I got there. I felt very disheartened that it had happened but very relieved that she was in the car when it happened. The original pic although bad, didn't look as bad as the pics I posted above, and the pics just dont do the amount of damage done justice either. Still very disappointed that it is gone, and want another to replace it with, but times have changed and our needs are very different now. on a side note, shares in kleenex tissues will be on the rise as I seem to go through a box of them every time I look at the pics

[Hood-G6]

Bloody hell! Glad no one was in the car.

[Miss_XR6]

Big hit but lucky no one was in your car at the time...

[Lightning Strike GT]

Good hit and I bet the drunk walked away with out a scratch
Thru that a-holes lack of consideration you are down a car and I hope your insurance comes good with no penalty towards you

[Giant Cranium]

should buff out

[Chopped]

Jeez, looks like the Suzuki won !.

Hopefully there is insurance involved and you are not having to fork out any dollars.

So that's how honda came up with the rear end design of the civic.



I swear I thought I was looking at a civic until i noticed the rest of the car.

[blackf6]

Looks like a lot of damage but, your car probably saved that drunks life. With the crumple zone at the rear absorbing all the impact. He's lucky he didn't hit a tree.

[Geez Louise]

Sorry to read about your pride and joy. Glad to see you were not hurt though.
Cheers

What colour FG2 are you going to take

[mik]

looks a big hit, this is why i like big cars, there`s still more crumple area before the back seat gets hit.

[Windsor342ci]

Sorry to hear about your car but glad no one was hurt man.

But true, what colour FG2 are you getting? :P

[QIK006]

Porsche wheel arch flares?







This reminds me of the front of the car for some reason

[xisled]

that is a big hit, glad everyone is ok.

[QIK006]

Probably wont be going FGII. Probably getting the wife a Focus sport hatch, and I will be getting a Patrol Turbo Diesel as we had talked about trading this one in shortly anyway.

Thought about a Territory AWD Diesel?

[Dr Smith]

Glad no-one hurt. I find it amazing how much force was obviously involved and how much body compression occurred yet from the back of the rear doors forward it looks untouched. Maybe if we do a forum group buy of the write-off we can develop an FG wagon....a proper one.

[Spudz27]

The rear end looks like the front of an AU. Glad no one was in that.

[QIK006]

both passenger doors were wedged shut, as is the drivers side rear door. Took a bit of an effort to get them open when I was clearing the car out of all our personal stuff.
