well, if you know surfers at all on the gold coast h'way where Q1 is, was at those lights. when they turned green i took off and was looking over shoulder to merge into right lane then my mate says watch out for the bus. when i saw it, only a bit of the front was out, there is a give way sign there but it didn't exist for him, went straight through it, didnt slow down or swerve, nothing. slammed brakes, which locked up? when i hit it, it took up all 3 lanes of the h'way and i hit at the rear wheel and swerved s'wheel to left so i hit more my side than my mate's, he got a bruised wrist. on impact it there where flames in the e'bay and he got out but my left foot was trapped from the foot parkbrake pedal at the shin which wrapped around my foot. while those flames were getting a little bigger, abt 20 ppl where trying to break the driver door and electric seats to get me out then this guy comes out of nowhere with an extinguisher and puts the fire out. fire crews used jaws and lifts to break the door and bend off the pedal. good thing its a wagon coz ambos pulled me out from the luggage area. also lucky the sunroof was open coz i was pushed up and a bit of my head was pokin out the top.

witht the impact the stagea did well to protect us as you can see from the crumples and that the dash was still intact, as well as the windscreen not shattering. got a few cuts from flying glass on fingers and forehead, deep lacerations on left shin, stitches off in 3 days, left foot broken bone, right hip, leg and groin sprained badly and still sore to walk on, right ankle torn ligaments, right shoulder torn muscle and no more stagea!!!!

unbelievable, why did this happen to me, you know it's one of those things that happens to other people that you hear about and think "shit man, hope that never happens to me", but it does. morale is expect that unexpected moment of stupidity that those fare prostitutes have when they're in front or beside you, stay away from buses on the road in the gold coast and you'll be safe.

thank you for the good wishes, it's greatly appreciated and helps to know others care and keep safe all you lucky ppl out there who are privalleged enough to still have the ability to bring your pride and joy to life at the flick of a switch, while mine lays dead like a tortured cattle carcass in a corner!

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
