damn....i was just in an accident. Basically the whole front of my car was pushed in as it was wet and i went up the back of the car in front.

im probably gonna need a new front bar and lights and such. but its not that bad. the bonnet needs to be repaired.

can anyone tell me of any good repair places around the eastern suburbs area? im in doncaster/templestowe.

any info would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to hear that man......good luck with the repair. I grew up in Doncaster but never needed my car fixed. However my parents weren't so lucky......unfortunately I can't remember the name of the place but they can be found behind the old pizza hut/pancake parlour on donnie rd (theres a little side street next 2 the old pizza hut, take that then turn 1st right....u can't miss it on ur right hand side)

they did a top job....parents owned the car a further 4 yrs and never had a prob.

hey chef, think i saw you on springvale road today?

around 1030, would that be right?

i was like... shit, thre goes my car....

but was stuck at a light and tried to hoon up and follow, but gone.

btw, where is JR auto in box hill? me and a mate were looking for some rice the other day, and we couldn't find it...

naw, hypertech is a performance shop for serious stuff..

If you just want a new front bar, try jetspeed..or IQ Auto (see Front Bars thread).. For the other bits you'll need to find wreckers..

skyline33 (PM) generally has lots of bits and pieces.

i am sorry to hear/see this mate.....i was hit from behind last year(although not too bad) and i know how much it hurts...

i just wanted to say stay away from a Clayton panel beaters whom i dont wanna name here but will do in pm if you need...bastards drove me crazy when i trusted my car to them....

anyway glad you are ok and that the damage is not too bad...

good luck with the repairs.

i dont plan on going to a clayton panel beater. i want something locally to me. the car is currently undrivable. it starts up fine and all that, but some of the fans punctured the radiator i think and whenever i drive, steam comes out. it was doing that as i drove it home. now im gonna have to get it towed to the repair place. more $ for me to pay.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
