My Poor Baby

[sav man]

I was driving along Brisbane St on the way to work today, and at the Lawrence St intersection at the top of City Park (Launceston people will know it). There was 6-10 cars in the turning lane waiting to turn up High Street, when this woman in a commodore turned infront of me (opposide way on Brisbane, turning down to Lawrence), through a gap in the line of cars waiting to turn upto High St. I got on the brakes and aimed from where she came from, but she saw me and stopped in the middle of the road! It's a 60 zone, but I'd backed off so I would have been going 40-50 approaching the intersection (do this everyday to avoid an accident), so i was able to wipe of most of my speed, but My front left got her rear passenger door. The only good thing is that my intercooler and oil cooler are fine, it's only body damage. But i'm not happy

I usually take the mighty Deawoo Espero to work, but my sis just got her licence, and she was using it for the day. So I can only come to the conclusion that it'll all my sisters fault

[grandmasterb]

OMFG TT is still alive

DAMN that sucks Ben, hope you get it back to normal soon

[sav man]

The woman was test driving the car, and the owners of the car are insured.

The car's at a good bodyworks, so i'm not worried about the repair job, just the time .

[nizmokid]

hopefuly you can get it back on the road before the SAU cruise at the end of the month.

[DJRIFT]

thats a dam shame ben. sad to see it.

maybe you need bigger brakes (note ben has porsch brakes)

that bar looks a bit to dammaged to go back on to your car. better put it on mine

[Young GT-R]

that sucks....I can't believe she was test driving the car....thats when people are usually most careful isn;t it?

bloody lonnie!

[sav man]

well it's an insurence job, so more than likely it'll all be replaced with new stuff. So if it's replaced I could pilage it for you, or keep it for myself as a track bar (and put ventinlation holes and stiff in it)

[t01-100]

I've got an unused set of new f/g unpainted N1 vents that you'll no doubt need!
