Makes a big bang and smells like cordite.

A tree jumped out and hit my bull bar :angel:
You will probably find the screen was cracked by the passenger air bag from the inside.
Mke sure the repair is done properly ask for the dealer to do the airbags as it is a dash out job.
I had a shocker of a repair done by the first repairer and it cost GIO more to rectify than the original repair.
Also decide not to replace the brackets (deformation connections) and just stick a new bar on the old. :mad:

A big fright but the car looked after you. :D

Actually, there has been no final report on the roo !!

Did it survive or was classed as roadkill ?

Good to see the bar did its job and you are all ok....

Have hit 3 roos in my patrol and no air bag deployment. Always concerned that an airbag deployment would disable car....maybe not in a disco it appears.

Was surprised that they did deploy though...but if you can drive and were not injured by the bags, then all is good.

I hope the disco is just as good when fixed.

Glad all ok, hitting roos is no fun even worse when its your own vehicle.
yep got a square in the middle of the page says something like webpage can not be displayed. The cursor is working just fine though.
cheers

Having had the misfortune to hit several of our flag emblems over many years, I suspect 100 kgs for a good one x 100-110 k's.
You came out great!

The deceleration impact forces are immense but short and that's what the airbags do, corn flour is a bigger surprise but all good.

Great vehicle, typical roo, and you drove home. Lucky!

All things worked as advertised but it us a HELL of A SHOCK and BANG!

It's ok if you see the buggers but when they line you up...fright!

Rest easy and thank you LD.

Well the roo was definitely dead as the truckie pulled it off the road for me, but when I returned home Sunday it was no where to be found! He did mention he was a big suckka

Pigs would have been into it for sure. Seen some big pigs and Roos down that way....

Glad to hear everyone in the disco was unhurt. The Bullbar you have on it, is it the new genuine one? - whoops just saw the photos. Is she an ARB bar?

Lookin forward to seeing your car when she's all fixed up here in LR Townsville :)

Always good to hear some positive feedback about work :)
