Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 21/10/05 01:30 AM Share Posted 21/10/05 01:30 AM Sitting in traffic on the way home from the Sydney Motorshow and I hear the squeal of brakes behind me, a quick look and I see a Black BA sliding my way. Needless to say it seemed he was trying to get a better look at my back seat through the boot. The impact pushed me about 15m forwards, lucky the traffic had just started to move and the car in front had cleared the road and I was off the brake. As much as there is lots of damage, the car still drives and seems mechanically sound, maybe a exhaust leak and the right indicator globe is broken. My guess is $1500 damge to his BA (a Black Utility) which seemed it got off lightly. The only point that amazed me was his Airbags didnt go off. Still its a sickening feeling hearing the crunch and then seeing the damage, I think its almost like seeing a loved one hurt.

Would hate to see what the boot floor pan looks like.......

Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 21/10/05 03:10 AM Author Share Posted 21/10/05 03:10 AM Thanks for the thoughts. Sad when you put in the work and you see some just take it away in a moment.Waiting on quote at the moment but the APS exhaust will need to be replaced so I would guestimate 5k+ for repairs. The shop can't commit until they get it up on a hoist and really check out the damage.Everyone involved was ok, some slight whiplash for 2 of the 3 in my car. Keeping my fingers crossed that the provided hire car is at least a BA....RegardsM G Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20854-bas-are-tough/#findComment-307359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No badges on the side or front, of course the IC gives the Turbo away, but most only see the rear.Regards Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20854-bas-are-tough/#findComment-307386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
