Oh no mate, my missus did the same thing, but up against a post...lol...similar kind of damage!



If you get it done professinally Ive been qouted $500 without paint.....lucky my brother is a sprayer with some panel beating mates.

That looks a little worse than mine, go with insurance if I was you.

Yeah we are going halves in insurance

$900 Excess, $450 Each, But its gonna be claimed on her insurance as her premium is only $850 with a 15% no claim bonus where as mine is $1750 per year and a 75% no claim bonus.

Ouch, good thing about the Falcon S, is that most of it, is just the rear bumper.

Hope you get her fixed up, nice and clean ;)

Shovel = $40
Petrol to drive to bush somewhere = $50
Hole = free, dig it yourself
Carton for afterwards = $40

The satisfaction of knowing it will never happen again = PRICELESS

OUCH, bloody women drivers, I remember when my wife was driving the ute, she was too scared to smoke in it or go over 60. She's trained well, I like Austins idea, I know of a quicker way though.
