F6 Grandad Member 26 Member For: 16y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Murrumbeena Vic Posted 16/07/09 09:04 AM Share Posted 16/07/09 09:04 AM Some may have seen this on another forum, but there a few guy's on here from Melbourne who have seen me about.Anyway, this is what I copped this whilst stationary on Dandenong Rd Armadale yesterday at about 4.10pm. Eye witnesses said the bloke who hit me (more on that when I calm down) could have been travelling at up to 80 clicks and only saw me at the last moment. Needless to say he torpedoed me into and under the Discovery who was also stationary in front of me. I moved him about 2 metres forward too!The car is being assessed, but won't know the full extent of the damage and if it is repaireable for a couple of days. That's about all I'm up to writing at the moment....might provide more info at a later stage.Me...had a quick trip in ambulance to the Alfred....no major injuries, just an extreme case of anger, frustration and pissedoffidness......Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main thing is that you are OK, but it takes a while to get over the shock.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on here will understand moreso than others, there is a feeling like someone pulling your heart out through your arse , a somewhat gutting feeling when someone elses ignotance takes a vehicle you love away... feel for ya, hope all ends well. Perhaps an insurance funded FG F6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will never be the same as it was. You'd never be happy with it. Lets hope a brand new FG F6 with those plates is on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Member 299 Member For: 21y 6m 21d Gender: Male Posted 16/07/09 10:17 AM Share Posted 16/07/09 10:17 AM Ouch, sorry to hear about the accident!I too would be pissed, I think any of us would be..The damage at the back seems to be 'not too bad' for such a fast collision with your vehicle stationary; the front looks nasty however. Do you know the extent of the damage under the hood?This may possibly a write off now that these BF's have been replaced by FG for some time now and value has dropped so far and fast. Just think, there is possibly a new car on the way for you.. time to consider a sick and twisted possible upside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
