Default Retro Falcon Ute SPY SHOT
As you can see, the rear has some strange camo





FYI: The driver was apparently ok, although was taken to hospital for observation.
Im not sure who was at fault or why, all i really know is the EA was turning left off Windsor Rd McGraths Hill where Supercheap is into that street, truck cleaned it up. Shows you what can and does happen. I suspect there will be a story in the local rag tomorrow. I can post it up if the thread doesnt degenerate.

Looks like it judging by the roof panel.

Also would be an EB2 or ED. Lucky it wasn't hit in the front!

listen to the last 30 seconds of the video, imagine getting hit from behind in the smart i reckon it would be like being inside a billiard ball and being wacked with a baseball bat , a bit of sheet metal in front and behind to absorb the impact is a good thing.

Hahaha only on a forum full of Ford nuts, would the actual severity of the crash be pushed aside and the model of the car in question discussed.

I love this place!

Ouch... glad to hear the driver walked away from that... can only be a good thing.

Id say the reason for the chassis being still straight is that height of the vehicle that hit it would have been above bumper height.

as for the car, its an EB2 gli from the looks. 4.0L badge, colour coded bars, side indicator and GLI S2 hudcaps.

If it was a smart car, it would have been just far enough forward for the truck to whiz by behind it
