Yeap, last night driving home in the rain, some moron came towards me from the opposite direction, i had to turn left into gravel to avoid the head on, slid through gravel, into a grass ditch, slid hard left, corrected right , looked up and hit a pole :D

Hit was at about 40kmh with car on 30degree angle...

Damage looks awful, fron bar was ripped off and smashed to peices.. Bonnet is smashed in... I cbf talking about it now

Thanks for the kind words guys...

JL: Nope no one stopped and no whitnesses. Two people even drived right by while I was picking up the headlight and frontbar...

Unfortunately its not just cosmetic, the front bumper (steel bar) has taken the hit and its all smashed back a few inches, its even bent right over the intercooler piping...

Shit that is no good.

Bet you were praying for rain too.

I got hit up the back the last time we had a lot of rain but it was only cosmetic damage, no structural damage luckily.

I was so pissed off and that was only minor, so I can only imagine how you feel

Hope it all turns out for the best.

damn it!

i had chills when i read your story, because its similar to what happened to me about 3 months ago. My car is almost fixed now, i was very lucky to just do what you did but not hit a pole. In the end my little accident cost me well over $4K

But i am getting some extra bits put on aswell :D

I feel for you man, and i can honestly say, i know exactly how it feels and what your going through.

Whatever you do, dont sit there and think 'i should of done this, i should of turned this way etc etc etc' all it does is eat you up. Whats done is done, there is no changing it :D

Hope its back on the road soon,

Did it hit the IC?

Is it fixable? I hope you have insurance Smoothline. I know theirs no hope in finding the other culprit, but still. Paying $1500 in excess is better than having to fork out the extra $$ to get it fixed.

I have never actually seen your car but I've been told it was nice.

What posesses people to act like spastics in the rain??

I swear it's the female driving population that causes most of the accidents... :D (did I just open a can or worms?? :))

If you got their plates.. you can report them for "failing to stop at the scene of an accident". Its actually law that they do offer assistance, if others have not already done so.

But i'm sure you then and now have more important things to worry about.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone, nice to see we have a great group here...

Erin: I wont be going through insurance because it's a $2000 excess and my premium would go through the roof :) So far it looks like around a $3k job... It could have been much worse.

Gordo: Nah didnt get plates, it all happened in a flash!! No one even stopped when i was in a ditch picking up peices of the car!!! Couldnt believe it...

Im pretty sore and i will be even more so tommorrow, i got flung a bit to the left...

Im sourcing out a Top Secret Front bar, so if anyone knows where I could find one let me know... I guess it saves me having the old one's cracks repaired now!

      If we're going after market gauges, I'm a big fan of Australian made... Get some RedArc!

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
