1385 driving home last night & this sheila in a mazda was,nt looking to her right now black betty
is not looking very nice, first time I have had it out in weeks & this happens.

[Woodchukka]

Ouch. Happens all to easily. Hope her car got it's fair share.

yeh hers might be a write off hit her back door & quarter pushed the wheel up into arch jamming it in there, Im hoping to pay extra & get a G8 bonnet but I will probably sell the car when fixed as I bought a house & need a ute for picking up materials for renno work,

...bugger :(

[Timson]

That sucks mate, Traralgon is responsible for some of the worst drivers I have seen.
I hope the repairs are hassle free.
Cheers, Tim.

so true tim any other day I would be in the pig (vt) & would not give a rats, my car is with ray elliot panels he is old school & a straight talker, I used to store the clubby there for months at a time, when I had no room it is in good hands, I know how other people feel now when they talk about there prides getting messed up its not a bloody good feeling at all,

Only a suggestion which you have probably thought of already ....

Get a trailer for the reno work - maybe an easy to attach/detach lightweight poly tandem tipper job.
Plenty of Clubbies etc. getting around towing these ..... you might lose the cost of trailer in trade-in/change-over to ute anyway.
Hardware shops always have drive though pickups = no reversing.

Why dont you just buy a box trailer. Ive seen plenty for 5-600.

[blackbettyhsv]

I already have a 7x5 trailer, which does the job very well, but Im not a fan of cars that have been bingled also I have 5 rego,s & insurance every year even though the clubby is great to have, it does sit in storage quite a lot it,s 5 1/2 years old & just clocked 40.000 K,s, so I figgered I could sell 2 cars & get a good ute of some type

That is rubbish service buddy, what insurance company is messing you around for this long?
And...what is their excuse?

[Woodchukka]

Good to see the Mazda in some pain as well. Shame you are still waiting. Pay a premium in insurance to these companies to own the cars we do and for nothing but shit service.

Steady on, it's the female driver, not the mazda that was at fault. We know all about women drivers... Dunno how some of them pass their driving tests... must have 'other' talents.

Yeah but as silly as the lady driving the car was I would prefer her car was bent and not her. Thus it is good to see the Mazda in pain as well. I ain't talking about all of them just hers.

Not all insurance companies are the same buddy.
My girlfriend recently had someone pull out through a stop sign and write off her little Maxda 3 at 9.00pm on a tuesday evening.
We put in an insurance claim on wednesday morning,
on thursday morning the insurance company was on the phone telling her they had assessed the car, would write it off and paying the claim.
Friday morning we checked internet banking and sure enough, the money was in her bank account and we were VERY happy with the amount paid.:goodjob:

[blackbettyhsv]

got the quote today came in just over $5,800 the guard was $719 bucks, bloody dearer than the bonnet, $360 for one headlight & about 1500 for front bar, then all the bits & pieces & paint.
that only took a month wonder how long to finish it lol
