Nice rear ender

Post by lwrida »

Hey guys,

Just letting you know I copped a wonderful rear ender tonight in Brighton around 10pm.

Driving down Bay st with my mates in another car behind, and a car pulled out of a parking spot infront of the car infront of me, causing him to brake hard.

I brake hard and stop in time, but my mates in their pulsar weren't so lucky and ran up the back of me.

I've always found it amazing that the tow truck turns up only 1 or 2 mins after an accident.

Anyway, I know subbie had a similar accident so I'll pm him and ask for the details about that repairer but if there's anymore that is closer then blacktown as I live in Punchbowl, would be great if you could let me know.

BTW here's some pics. :D

    I know what you got thanks Dwayne, but I'm gonna go see my babi this afternoon at the smash repairer and see what they say need fixing. I'm lucky the guy had insurance so I don't need to worry.

    Only need to find a decent repairer.

    I've now only got my passenger side to get hit and I've had an accident all over the car.

      That p plate was king. It had that many holes from how I kept putting it on and was falling apart but still hung in there.... That was until a stupid mate ripped it off :cry:

      OUCH! THAT HURT! I FEEL THE PAIN :x
      The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

      What I need however is a repairer.

      The towie recommended some joint out in Kogarah called JPV Custom Repairs or some bullshit.

      I'm going there this afternoon to check out the joint and see if its a shonky or not. If anyone wants to come down and have a peek at the damage the place is at 15 Production Ave Kogarah.

      Aza come down maybe we can talk him into swapping my light for yours :wink: I'll be down there around 5:30
