Think I might need a new daily

Callumgw · Post by **Callumgw** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 5:33 pm

Travelling to work. Stopped a red light on Wurundjeri way and Flinders ( in Melbourne), lights go green and two late runners, one motor bike and one van, pass through – obviously running the red. I was in the far left lane with two cars on my right. Had a quick look and it seemed that was all, so moved off and BANG.

Winded

Sore chest

Crapsticks why am I looking that way?

Lady didn’t see the light was red and T-boned me at close to 60kph. The other two guys had started, but then seen her. I didn't.

Hit square in the B pillar, spun the car round and backed it into a light pole, breaking the rear passengers side upright clean through.

I’m sore but should be OK. Thanks to a side airbag!

Car? Waiting to find out if it’s been written off.

now I really gotta get the exa back on the road to use until I find something else.

Crap Bud, no good. The suby safety features held up pretty good.
I'd say she's a gonner mate, lots of damage spread around there.

Yeah subie specialist repairer said write-off and sent it to the sale yard, now the assessors just needs to agree.

Replacements? not sure. I'd like a Golf R, but the wait is into feb 2011...and they're $$$. My boy would like me to get a mini, but they cost heaps for not to much go - more show. R32 is a maybe, GTI, maybe MPS, or a 130i (prefer 135, but not up to spend $65k+) maybe a S3....

THAT, is a very scary hit.
No side airbag and either one dead C or at least a C who has a fair amount of difficulty counting to three...........................
