Thread: A Week without a Vehicle :(

Andrew

ummmmm,I hit a cow


a BLOODY BIG one

BENT factory STEEL winch bar

broke both headlight mounting hardware (plastic )

broke grill mountings (plastic )

smashed narva spotties

impact pushed b/bar backwards,just enough to leave the tinniest of marks on bonnet
(very hard to pick)

slight bowing of drivers guard,enough to make contact with drivers door,and pop plastic flare off first locator

driver needing fresh change of underwear after impact

large bovine nissan assaulter put down due to lack of use of rear quarters
(and no, I didnt cut the rump off,no sharp knives on board )

gave the ute a thourough cleaning today and apart from the bowed guard and racing tape holding the lights/grill in place,
it doesnt even look bad,didnt even break the paint
thankfully insurance is coughing up,new bar, lights, grill, spotties,and repair on bonnet

Mine came out of the panel shop Tuesday after 5weeks and a day

Hope yours is only the 7 days.

Full on prang then Ferno.
Surprised they didnt write it off,thesedays its a case of 3 plastic trims write the thing off.
Insurance companies win on the sale of the wreck then their ability to up the insurance rate on that model due to yet another write off
Best start carting a chainsaw with you,if you are going to bowl beasts over best you cut some proper dino steaks before the crows get it

4 weeks of that was "travel time",,

it sucks ferno, my disco went into bruce davis for a week some time back when it had the injector pump done and that was the longest week of my life.

Not quite as bad as no car but we are surviving with one at the moment, POS pajero's computer kicked its legs in the air and gave up the ghost, $640 will fix it im told
