XRGASM Member 206 Member For: 13y 10m 11d Gender: Male Posted 16/09/11 11:54 PM Share Posted 16/09/11 11:54 PM (edited) Gday boys and girls, for those of you who dont know I have a sexy 2008 BF MKII Turbo with the "07 upgrade pack" in Vixen (minus the wheels). anyway driving home from the last official mac pass run there was a few of us and there was a BA in front of the pack me second and an fg third then about another 4-5 cars following a bit further behind, anyway cruising along the highway and in the dark I see something fly into the air off the BA in front of me. I didnt have time to think b4 my windscreen went white and I realised it was his sunroof glass that I saw fly off and had smashed all over my car. it had hit the fg behind me as well and both our cars had little chips all over the cars. anyway so we both took our cars to the same panelbeater and he said that both cars would need a full respray (woohoo new paint!!) anyway driving a week later a P-Plater decides to pull away from the curb and do a u turn right in front of me and I couldnt avoid hitting him so that's how my first crash in 10 years of driving happened LOL. Now heres the interesting part, he proceeded to get out of his car and start going on how its my fault, he had his blinker on and I should have seen him. I then pointed out to tell him that there was a camera in my windscreen which had recorded the accident and he quickly quietened down and admitted that it was his fault!! I would definately recommend in car cams for anyone as clearly it has saved me. If anyone wants info on the one I have contact me. anyway almost 1 month on my car is almost finished and I went down yesterday and had a look at it and I was blown away, what a difference a fresh coat of paint makes. now they just have to put it all back together and put my stripes back on and I will have it back next week. ill put some relevent pics upmy car before Edited 16/09/11 11:56 PM by XRGASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glue deteriorates and out comes the glass.Good luck with it bloke, what a shame to have that happen to your new-ish car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
