Hmm
So following a mate down a backstreet
Going about 40 kays.
Come to the end of the street.
Guy in front jams on brakes pretty freakin hard.
Guy behind him (me) cant brake in time :(
So this happens

Got some quotes.
About 400 for panel (bonnet, catch panel, left front guard, flare)
Then around 1500 for paint and welding n stuff.
So yeah.
A costly lesson, but we're human and we all make mistakes.

**Moral of story: Don't follow friends, keep the biggest distance to the car infront- u never know what will happen, be alert at all times, make sure your drum brakes are adjusted well!**

Wasnt really that hard, just looked like Will locked it up, but was going too fast...misjudged, and ended up in the back of his mates falcon :oops: but there was hardly any damage to the other car from what i could see

Which panel beaters?
The brakes were locked for about 15m too. and
Umm yeah i was going about 30 on impact. Less even.

So i've got some quotes around the 1500 mark.
Snot too bad... that includes the price of the panels too.

An expensive lesson.
But it had to be learnt.
Here's to no more crashes , ay? :)

I just got back from driving my car for the second time, that's enough to make me fit new brakes tomorrow. Ouch!

Sorry to see that, I know I might bag clubbies every now n then, but I don't mean for that to happen. Good think you took those photos the other week.

Here's to seeing it back to its old self in no time.
