Well as the story goes I have had my XR6 turbo since Jan this year, loved every minute of owing and driving it. Last night was picking up a mate from Cronulla (northies for all the locals out there) drivee out of the car park and up hte road nice and legally when all of a sudden BAM! out of no where Im smashed in the passengers front door, tail out the other way, tnak slapping up the street and just managing to avoid all the parked cars on the roadResults :-Passengers side doors totaled, diff maiking all sorts of weird noises now, front suspension creaking tis head off, rooted rear wheel, stuffed centre consol and stuffed seat belt (passengers tore sendign her accross the cabin) my friend got away with a sore back and I got away with ligament damage to my leg both bruised and embarrassed.For the locals of Sydney this happend right out side Northies in Cronulla at 11.00pm on a packed Friday night, you can imagime the drunk yobo's hurling abuse etc...Anyway Police attended and sorted everything out, other driver is at fauly and paying up so hopefully Ill get my baby back all nice and shiny and fixed..Pics up soon..Ryan Edited 15/03/08 04:39 AM by rizzo-xr6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another fun night at Northies I guess. I was across the road at a mates restaurant but I didnt hear the bang.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a chat to Mario... they should be able to look after you...Careful who your insurer send the car too, what they will do is inspect your XR then send out a offer to heaps of repair centers - of which the cheapest will get the deal... Good for insurance business... But not good for you or your baby... Make sure you demand it goes to your choice of repair center, and demand genuine parts - except where you have made upgrades!Hope this helps, and sorry to hear about the sick wheels.....
