Fruitloop injured in hit and run.
Just had a fairly big accident, mike and I seem ok.Pricks in a stolen falcon turned across two lanes hit a hiace van pretty hard then into the front
on mine.then did a runner.ATM fruitloop looks pretty bad whole front end is smashed in pretty bad if any body has a bonnet and a left and right
guards let me know.This will be a test for my CLA skills.Will check back in later tonite phones nearly flat!

yeah the Bronxs has it's disadvantagesbut it has some advantages also as I found out tonite.When the crash happened the two dudes in the falcon
legged it bigtime!one left one right looked at the one going left and2-3 guys were after them.A young bronxonian with a mowhawk heard the crash went
out the front of his house and saw the wrecks a dude running looking over his shoulder with guys chasing him!So he did the math and punched him so
hard in the head he broke his hand!Street Justice!They draged him back to the scene he was sitting down with all these guys around him and mr Mohawk
screaming at him get up and run mother.......r while chenching his fists! He was keen for more justice!The other guy got away but just as the cops
were putting him in the paddywagon this young chick showed me a pic on her phone of this guy and said is this him?wasn't sure but she spoke to the
cops,she recognized the 1 they arrested made some calls and found his partner on face book!So looks like they got them but u18 so....any how thanks to
rod Richardson for picking me up and trailering fruitloop home,even at nite she's fairly bad the rh front1/4 pannel is bowwed out quite a lot, the
apron is really badly smashed in the bonnet is possibly repairable so I'll be on it tomorrow!got a rh guard from Ritchie,will call J.R in the
morning.Rod has given me a challenge to see if I can get it race ready by sat arvo!I love a challenge!Will get some pic tomorrow and of the repairs at
Bronx body works!

Hidden injuries lurk!
Just this week a mate of mine had a fella in his baseball team trip and fall bad (fell in a weird way) while running to a base. He got up, brushed him
self. played the entire game on. Got back home, later that night, just puked blood everywhere, turned out he had torn his upper intestine! just from
tripping! Lost alot of blood and was lucky to be alive.

New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta! |

Try making a claim against the victims of crime fund (ctp insurance funded). I think you only need a police report and some quotes to get it started.

On a positive side, at least they didn't hit you in the rear and 'take out' the motor
