    Son't know how much damage yet. Drivers side doors door took the hit. You can't open the rear one and I have been told the door skins have torn so must have been a decent hit.

    Won't know a lot more for some time as they are in Canberra.

    I remember my dads comment when I had my first and only bingle 22 years ago
    " you ok. Girlfriend ok. Metal is cheap mate. Stop crying and don't do it again"

    Sorry to hear, I had a similar incident in mine. I was devistated, I thought by the degree of impact it would of writen off my vehicle. The Hyundai tuscan that t-boned me was written off. So the land rover definitely stood the test. The repairs were done really well, I hope yours can be repaired to a like new level. The only problem we have being in Aus. Is that it it took eleven weeks to get mine back on the road. I do sincerly hope you get yours back a whole lot sooner.

    Good to know you are ok though.

    Good that no one was hurt.

    However, some might say that the accident has improved the look of the car!
