WHAT! NO WAY! Not just after the engine freshen up.

What happened? It looks like someone ran into you (looks too wide to be a tree that you backed into etc). How bad is it? Looks kinda low speed.

Sorry to see that mate, hope it all works out nice and easy for you.

well i was in the merging lane from resivoir road coming on to m4 going home (so speeding up to 100km/h) when 2 cars ahead stoped to wait for a gap rather than merge in, the car behind stoped as was a new commordore with abs i just managed to stop but the 4wd with a bullbar behind me didnt. im all good insurance is payin for it all as wasnt my fault so is all good.

had to hit brakes hard , the were just locking, then saw the 4wd coming but happened quik so nothing you can do.

drove it home, so will drive it again tommorow then to the nrma place in penrith for the assesment.

ah well
