I just had an accident:cry:cry:cry

slip, spin, then hit someone on the side, on some very very wet road.

this has to be my shittiest week ever! now my little cherry is broken

im still alive and not hurt, which is good, and the damage to my cherry isnt bad, which is also good.

i knew i shouldnt have gone to work today!

stupid rain:cussing

that's not cool ... 40 odd degrees here... and my second last day at work ...

Need to find a new job any offers in Perth

Meh .. that's life ...

All the best star buggy girl :kiss

I feel for you,
not a good day at all.
Never mind at least you are not injured.

:o My heart goes out to you *buggy, this weather and the shitty brisvegan raods are not a good mix. Listened to the traffic report on the radio yesterday and there was so many prangs last night.

Hope its an easy fix.

Kool karma your way :sandrine

kkk

Not good news at all.... I hope you can fix your broken cherry. Still, it could be worse; at least you haven't lost it!

That Sux big time, dosent matter how careful ya are sometimes it just happens!
Hope ya fix her up OK.
Rob....

Bugger, good to hear your OK. The bug can always be fixed ( well most of the time anyway). Shani also had an accident a couple of weeks ago in the wet and did a fair bit of damage to Belle(again). Hope you get back on the road soon.

:sandrine Starbuggy,
Sorry to hear bout you & Cherry.
I guess its going to happen to us all one day.
Thank god you are ok...
& Cherry can always be fixed up.
Hope it all works out smoothly for you.

still in shock! this is probably the only time my parents will endorse me drinking a whole bottle of wine, better make the most of it!

damage doesnt seem too bad, my bf thinks we should have a go at some fiberglassing this weekend... either way its drivable and hopefully the damage to the other car doesnt cost too much.

i didnt realise that spinning could be such a shocking feeling! damage is pissy to what alot of people have experienced, though this is my FIRST ever accident (i guess you get used to it/over it with time) so thank F**K alot of my car is fiberglass!!

please please! everyone be careful of this rainy yukky weather and take it easy on the roads... thanx

btw...how much is a fiberglass bumper and wheel guard? i have no idea as my car came already kitted.

does this look too expensive to fix up, or should i take it to someone to fix?

funnily enough, though my guard and headlight lens smashed, the actual bulb is unscathed... guess i can still drive at night then!

Looks Like a replaced fender, and a bumper respray, Wouldnt think it would be over $400.


I was quoted $180 to respray a bonnet, so it can't be more then that, I don't think

I have a similar problem too starbuggy,

Grimace was in a carpark, the drain covers were missing for about a metre, I guess we fell, and it mashed my rear driver guard, and bumper :/

Feel for you Gal.
The metal can be repaired,
the mental stays for a while,
Time repairs that one.

This rain.............
I'm out Western QLD, and we need it,
but not too much of a good thing.

Was supposed to take the Kids camping
for a week, near Kenilworth, SEQld,
What's it like there?????

Let me guess?? WETTTTT!!!!!

I feel for you, my first bit of car damage was during the wet. on a 80kph road and an animal, dog or fox not sure ran out. I swerved and missed the dog but went sideways and collected a white post on the side of the road. I felt terrible.

I just went to supercheap, bought a little fiberglass repair kit and the closest match spray paint I could (remember spray putty too!) and fixed it myself. It looked fine with my then old paint job. Your car being a plain red you should find it easy to find a matching spray can. Fiberglassing isn't too hard. I fiberglassed the broken bits together, then used bog on top to get it all level. I found bog easier to sand than the hard fiberglass resin.

Not a perfect fix, but not bad either. :thumb

Not good news...but glad the damage was not real bad and that you're OK

Wet roads are not my fav condition to drive in...and it really rains hard up your way:jesus

Amazing about the bulb....sounds like you could still drive Cherry if the steering/wheel is still OK

Thats nothing! can be fixed quite easily, thats the beauty of glass & gel coat.
Take the gaurd and bumper off take it to a boat repairer for the glass and get it repaired then just get it painted again!
Rob.....

sorry to hear about ur prang. The weather is shit up here, done 800 km in the last 2 nites, bringing 4 vws on from boonaha that the club bought.

Fiberglass is easier to repair. just some pride and money lost

man i feel sorry for you
