That is most unfortunate CBR. Looks like you didn't have a hope of not hitting her. It's not just the damage to your car either it's the inconvenience of not having it.

If she is at fault and it appears she is then tell your insurance company to get you a hire car whilst yours is out of action and add it to the repair bill they send to her or her insurance company. Not many people are aware that this is possible.

I hope your ok, lucky you guys don't have stoby poles!

Goes to show the car is good at taking a punch, I hope you walked away rather unhurt as also anyone else who was in the car.

Can always replace the car mate! but yeah it sucks especially as you were just minding your own business.....

Hope your OK.

Is the car a write-off (from an insurance perspective)? Looks as thought its taken a fairly significant hit. The wing assembly is easy to fix, my bigger concern is the bulkhead / cracked window / straightness chassis and outriggers.
