This morning on my way to work i was side swipped by a semitrailer, he didnt stop but as my car was still i running order i belted after and managed to pull him over.

he claimed he didnt notice anything which may be the case.

i was in the far left lane when the truck came speeding past on the right of me and his trailer veered over the lane and slammed into the drivers side of my car. ive never been so scared in my life.

the damage isnt to bad relatively speaking.

here are some pics:

Do you think maybe he just didn't like the sticker's on the side of your car ?!?! j/k

Glad you're OK and big bonus that you got him ! My old man got the same sort of treatment done to his Patrol but the trucky had a clean run and just kept going.

Go buy that lotto ticket !

Holy crap!!

You're lucky you werent wiped out completely!

I guess you got his details then? Truckies dont usually care about this sort of stuff.. The trucking company, or the business he works for will sort it all out. I had a truck roll back into me, and the company sorted it all out without a problem.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
