Ouch. howd that happen?

And price seems ****ing good to me, so long as done well.

thats not a bad price at all

I'd ask him to guarantee it.

No point paying for it then the paint peeling further down the track...

very good price!!!

whille hanging the back out around a round-a-bout, the tail hit oil and flicked right out,mounted gutter hit a keep left sign at around 45kph, that wasnt the worst bit, directlt infront of me was a concrete power pole, that was my main concern, put the boot in and flicked the car around the pole. missed it by 20cm. and ended up in a ditch.

when i got out i thought i made it out clean, i didnt notice the "keep left" sign, as i said the power pole was more concerning.

to make matters worse there was a police interceptor who saw the whole thing. he just said i was stupid, and didnt fine me saying i had been punished enough, and nothing sways someones driving style more than loosing their car.

but wait theres more... after the car had stoped, i got out a little flustered, and went to see what damage had been done. all i hear was cluck...and the repeating sound of the car locks, then they stop. leaving the car locked. WoooT. i had to wait 2 hours for the RACV to get there and he was in my car in about 20 sec's. *took mental note on the process*.

Then we got the car out of the hole and found i'dd bent a front strut. soo i had to wait another hour, for a friends father to bring an F250 and car trailer.

that was one long day just like this post...lol ahwell the car will be bigger and better for the geelong all ford day.

And he made a phone call to his dad (me) starting with these words "Are you sitting down?"

The panel beater is doing it all at mates rates.

Anyone know a driving instructor I can send rushed to?????

giday father, your first post had to be on this didnt it...lol

ehehe sounds like some fun, i almost did the same thing to my old car, luckily some one else wrote it off for me, but u shud stop using ur car as a pole removal device, its not the most efficient method, and tends to get quite expensive. On the whole though thats a gud price.

i got the damn sign tho.... took it to the farm and its been shot quite a few times...lol , a swiss keep left sign.

yea my driving style has changed, setting it up as a cruiser, has the advantage of holding onto my licence and my life longer.

the car went under the scalple as of an hour ago, i dont like the idea of my car being cut to bits... ahwell it'll be better when its finished. i should have it back by wednesday. yay.

i'll get some "work in progress" pics tomorrow hopefully.

LOL I said the same thing to my old man when I crashed the Eggshell.

i did the same thing but didn't hit anything and no ditch! i went around the round about side ways to find sand on the other side to make the a** come out from under me!! good fun!!

yeah the price sounds awesome if they do a good job

mate you have done well '' the price is a good one .i work at a panel shop my self and just to fix the seals is a b**ch on its own. and getting all the rest done as well is good for the money .but make shore that it is done right by the way the doors are lined up .mainly down the bottom
