cae accident

[mad wagon]

Accident with bus - Sunday 3rd October, Surfers Paradise (cnr Gold Coat H'way, Hamilton St.) near Q1.

Car caught fire on impact and my left foot was broken and trapped by the "HANDBRAKE" wrapping around it. Fire crews had to bend it out with rope to release my leg which is broken at the shin and 2 deep 15 and 20 cm lacerations with small bone protruding.

sorry to hear it are you ok? is your car badly damaged? can you tell us what happened?

[Enterthestagea]

Ever make it up the hill to toowoomba pm me and look me up for a fix in a stagea, 10 degree nights, 9psi boost and we'll have a smile on that face in no time.

Mad Wagon, Thats some real bad news man

My car just got regoed today.

What is the damage like on your car? I hope that its not too bad so we can still go cruising. Just got back from the springbrook mountains where i was eating up 180SX's and S13 Silvias, they were looking at me like 'What the' As my friends hung out of the rear sunroof waving at them..

Crazy evening

Get better soon MW

Oh jesus !!

Man, I hope your leg is going to be OK.....

I hate hearing about fellow SAU members having accidents

Would've been scary stuff seeing the car on fire and being trapped in there.

was it electrical fire? engine bay? fuel? oil?

[burkey22]

That's a shocking story mate. Just goes to show how easy it can happen. I'm driving up to pick my car up today (finally). I'll have your crash in the back of my head. I think I speak on behalf of all the SAU members when I wish you all the best with your recoveryand the repairs to your car. Keep your head up mate.

[Sydneykid]

Get well soon. Look after the leg, my wife broke hers last year and she still has trouble occasionally.

[mcnamg]

dont over do it the worst thing that you can do is to cause permanent damage to your leg. I hope that the car isnt too badly damaged.

we all wish you the best for a speedy recovery hope you first and foremost are ok and that you and your car are back on the road asap.

[Yotis]

Yer man.. sorry to hear it.. hope u recover well.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Very sorry to hear that mad. I am glad you were able to post up the story instead of us reading about you in the paper. Take it easy and get well soon. Condolences for your car - but there are always more.

Peace

thanks for the support guys, shoulders all torn as well and hard to type, been hard to walk but getting better. now i got a reason to get a manuial one.

here are a few fotos of the "SAD WAGON", more in my gallery, cant believe it's gone forever. had so much done to it and heaps more planned, lucky i still got my 97 magna, was gonna sell it and upgrade the engine in the stagey. be a while before i can drive again, rekon another 12 days

[SafT]

holy shit

that is the most mangled stagea i've ever seen, and ever want to see

any idea what caused the fire?

can you remember the impact speed?

im pretty sure stagea normally score well in crash tests too

hope you heal quick eeh

[Jay95R33]

Jesus Christ !!

I'm glad you got through that alive !! It looks like it was a pretty hard hit.

Just hang in there and take it slow. Recovery can take a while sometimes.

Ouch!

Dude, as long as you're alive and not too badly hurt, that's the main thing! A broken leg (although painful and annoying) is probably a lucky break considering the damage done to the car. Jeez, you can't even recognise what it is from the front!

Cars can be repaired or replaced, so that's the least of your worries for now. A damned shame after the car was taking shape quite nicely too!

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Nick and Jay are right, you are a lucky boy. Rest up!

Not to be rude mad wagon, but what is happening with the car?

Did you have insurance?

Hope that you are feeling better.
