Angry not happy

Hi Everyone. Well my story is that i was driving home from work on the 1st of Oct and goin down Sandgate Rd in Brisbane and all the cars suddenly stopped in front of me. I managed to stop too but the guy behind me stopped in a hurry right up my @ss and punched in all my back and boot.

Both cars needed to be towed. The main thing that worries me is they say mine AU may need to be Written off due to a twisted frame. All the time i have spent keepin it clean and scratch free and now i'll lose it all. ok just thought i'd share my story and have a cry about it. thank you to all that reply or even read it. cheers all

Mate that sucks! I'm sure there are more than a few members who will be able to sympathise from experience... I'm assuming that no one was hurt, so there's some good side to it... Good luck with your car, what was it insured for?

That is a bugga matey, but at least you are ok and that really is the main thing I guess.
I can sympathise big time.
Was that the insurance assessor or the people on the phone or??

Best of luck with it all mate.. Sandgate Road is a bugga at times :(

awwww, i know how ya feel. Its bloody gut wrenching. You spend all your time, money, effort on your pride and joy, just to see it get written off by some other ****head.

But hey, on the bright side, this could be a step to bigger and better things, : .

Post some pics if you get a chance
