Title: write off
Post by: Phantom on December 06, 2006, 10:09:59 AM
My son was driving my Commordore last week and some D*%&head came out of a driveway (gravel road) and ran into my car , my son was doing 40 k's , collided with the range rovers bull bar and this was the result, write off, I wonder how my FC would have faired in a similar collision( sends shivers down my spine ) i suppose it would not crumple like these plastic cars.

hi, fc probably would have come out a lot nicer looking not so much the driver,rather see commodore dinted than the fc. hope your son is okay.

in qld nothing is called an accident now the new pc is mvcrash not mvaccident.

on the glass is half full you now have a donor car to mod fc.

thanks paddy

hey Phantom,

glad your son is OK, you can replace a car, but you cant replace a son.

Cheers

It's good that your son is okay.  Whilst it was not his fault, this accident will show him about why 'expect the unexpected' is a good attitude to hold when driving.

That VF Coupe, take it away, it is the same as one that I sold some 6 years ago because it didn't suit the other half (two doors = trouble with getting kids in & out).  Sigh....

On a second look, those rear wheel arches on the VF have been radiused, wondered why it looked a bit strange.
