I Pranged the Old Girl Up this morning,(No excuses) Just plain old ran up the back of a Yaris which crumpled.
Last time I looked at speedo travelling at about 40 kms per hour then started to slow.

Foot on brakes wet road the rest is history spread across mount annan :oops:

Popped her boot, :shock:

Not much panel damage, but every nut and bolt has come loose and few things wrong with car as well, I am sure. :wink:
Rain and Work pressure didn't allow me to spend much time before she was taken away to be assesed. :(

Any ideas where to get best attention from quality person who is going to ensure all bits are restored to way it was. Going through NRMA......

Any advice as to what to look for when inspecting damage and resto.

Sorry to hear about this. Echo the thoughts about Rocky Canto and Mini King for assistance. Re the neg driving, it's less about the speed and all about the fact that by hitting them in the rear, you were travelling too close for the conditions - but having said that, if you haven't been charged already, you may be lucky.
Hope it works out for you. Real shame, hopefully it can come back good as new.
