Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Curses Typhoon.

[Antisocial]

Last night I realised quickly the people and others could take things I value greatly away.

My wife went out for dinner with a few friends whilst I stayed home and watched over our 2 small boys. I suggested she take my F6 as she could pick up her friends and they could have a drink or seven, and she would not have to take the kiddie seats out of her Fairmont.

Then at about 10pm I got that gut wrenching phone call I hope I never ever get again.

“We’ve had a crash and the front of the car is gone and the other car has rolled, what do you want me to do…..?”

My wife had left APK in Woden and was turning onto Callum st (yes just up the road from the cop shop) The light was already green when she approached the intersection and another car had already gone through in front of her. Just as she entered the intersection she noticed a fast approaching car in the corner of her eye and slammed on the anchors (which apparently work much better than her cars) and a crappy old XE clipped the front of the Phoon ripping the bumper off, then spun clipped the gutter in the middle of the intersection, veered back across the road, up over the kerb, obliterating the traffic signal control box and came to rest on its drivers side in the grass on the side of the road.

If my wife had not been such an attentive driver he would have hit her square on in the front wheel or possibly the drivers door and would be far worse off and there would be one less Typhoon in the world.

Fortunately she is ok and the car can be fixed.

The worst bit is that in September I ran into the back of an old fart who drove the entire length of a street at 20ks/h then stopped at an intersection to give way to nothing….so the car had a brand new front bar headlight and guard already….now they are just bits of crap in the gutter.

So never take your family for granted, because late one night some stupid bas*ard may take them away from you…

The worst part was I had spent all day Saturday cleaning it, 2 hours with eucalyptus oil removing all the tar and bug guts, then a wash then a polish…..

The one with the police cars is last nights effort, the other is from 6 months ago.

Bugger - bit of damage there.

I guess the main thing is that your wife and friends are ok - they could have been badly injured had they gone in her car (which didnt stop as quick).

Maybe you could be the first one to put on a BA XR6T front onto your F6?
