wombat strike

[Devil CV8]

Wife hit a wombat in her VT wagon tonight, smashed the washer bottle, and damaged the front bar..... Doesn't appear to be any other damage, although a daylight inspection will be needed...

Anyone have a VT front bar that's sitting around gathering dust.....

Your lucky ive seen a Wombat remove a diff, damage the sump etc, they are tough little f#c#ers.

When I was driving coal trucks one of the company CH Macks virtually wrote off an alloy steer wheel and damaged the bumper from hitting a wombat. They are as hard as boulders when you hit them at speed. I hope you don`t find too much more damage and the main thing is that your better half is all right :)

I've gotta agree with this, you are VERY lucky. They are tough little suckers, I ran over one in a KW once and nearly lost it!! Admittedly I was going flat out, and had a very light load of freight that the senders thought was going by a winged device but jeez, I just bounced over it with all axles. The guy behind me said I didn't even slow it down, it rolled over when it spat out the back and it just kept running for the side of the road :lol:

Lucky you only sustained small damage.
One guy I know had his Pajero ridden off as his daughter swerved to avoid a possum and rolled it then hit a tree :eek:
People inside were ok.

I nearly wrote my last car off hitting on of these lil shits, ripped apart the front end, limped to a servo and got some tape on her, Wombat was dead bloody hard bastard to move of the road aswell, I had no idea what I had hit...

got a black bar some scratches down the bottom, prob sand out free.

was going to do some experiments on it, found in throw out pile :)

Not to take away from the damaged car, but how is the wombat?

HOW THE WOMBAT, HOWS THE WOMBAT? The farkin wombat would have come out the best in this deal :lol:

[Devil CV8]

How's the wombat, :bash: no idea :lol:

SteveSV8, thanks for the offer, but a touch to far, and probably to much to freight.

VT2VX, your offer is the best so far, only cost me approx $100 in fuel, so definately doable...
I'm going to check out the local smash repairers, they may have one, if not then looks like "road trip"

could have been worse it could have been a camel or a cow. I've seen these write buses off
