Well very sad day today as on my way home heading south along Bruce Hwy just went thru roadworks at Caboolture moved over to left lane after following a semi. Got up alongside semi's front wheel and well he moved across to the left lane without seeing me drove his front wheel into and crushed my door,pillar and rear section. found one of his chromewheel nut covers inside the cabin next to me. Crushed the rear rim and well I went side ways doing 100km/h slide for a while waiting for a rollover but ended up stopping in left hand lane with oncoming traffic heading right for me. Luckily able to restart car and reverse to side of the road. Had to climb out passenger door and well the beetle I would say is a right off. Didn't suffer any major injuries but sore knee and back. Just lucky to be still alive and walking. So if anyone in SE Qld has a roadworthy beetle or Kombi for sale for under $3000 i would be interested as need one to get to work from Bald Hills to Aussie Zoo
