yeah.. i had been having a bad as it was and i had not had to deal with insurance before so wasnt sure how it worked.

i guess we can all make mistakes and do dumb things sometimes without looking but it was his smart arsed attitude that really p*ssed me off. didnt even say woops or sorry or nothin. thought it was a big joke. : i`m not a fighter but felt like giving him a few of these to get the silly grin off his face.:

the second bloke (after i had told him what i thought of his driving habits :evil3: ) i said that my insurance would deal with him and he got all appologetic then and wanted me to call around to his mates place so he could try and fix it. i`m not sure what you could do to a bent plastic bumper and bonnet painted in metalic gold at a earth moving depot on christmas eve ????
but atleast he gave me all his details without any hassels

Also remember at least the Holden can actually break traction!! :jab:

So you were hit by more than 1 Commodore?! Confused.

Seems like the whole bash Commodores is a weekly thread now, might as well make it a sticky.

Its quite the opposite. I don't mind about commodore people being on here ... It adds differing view's to threads. But, What I don't like - Is commodore people who's sole purpose of logging onto this wonderful forum is to be a one-eyed pole-smoker and say nothing other than negative stuff.

Another way to analyse it would be to compare the number of hoons per 100 cars... But you're right, there's an awful lot of commodores on the road however what about toyota? There's bucket loads of toyotas on the roads... I guess there's no 'hoon' problem because most of their drivers are half asleep or singing 'spanish flea' in their head while driving.

Why can't we all just get along? lol

For the most part, me being a Commodore owner on here is a hard task at times, but yeah it's all in good fun I guess.

I myself don't mind the old fashion Holden vs Ford tussle. It's just when it's taken as a way of a personal attack. Hypocrites p*** me off.

really, Commodores are very over rated cars, especially pre VT ones, they are usually just a white slab on wheels, no style, just a 4 door car with the fuel filler on the wrong side for Australia, and in the case of VT on, a grab handle for the driver, which further enhances their European origins. What about the first Commodores, for those here old enough to have been in one? The speedo that doesn't move until you are over 15Km/h, just proves they weren't meant to be driven slowly.

I hope you get your car fixed soon joolz. Just give your insurance company the other drivers details once you give him a letter of demand. Your insurance mob will go debt collecting while your car is at the panel shop being fixed.

Women belong in kitchens ?, Maybe if she where "Where she belongs" The superior commodore driver (Male) could have ran into someone else, like another superior commodore driver, Then that would have killed two birds with one stone, your very clever 5.7
