One less Tickford car on the road... for now :(

Hi folks

You may remember me from such films as "the un******* XR6" and "the greg murphy fan club".

I am here to tell you that yesterday, Monday 31st October, I was rear ended by a ING HOLDEN! Sitting in traffic, stopped for I dunno a good 5 or 10 seconds on Cecil Ave in Cannington, minding my own business. 17 Year old P Plated holden driver decides it would bea smart idea to see if her brakes worked. Seems they didn't and she pelted me at what im guesing was about 40-50km/hr in the ***.

A tribute ot the XR6's brakes, I had them on and the car didnt move an inch Smile Anyway, so I turn into the carpark which we were parked directly opposite, got out and had a look.... Needless to say my rear end is toast :/ Currently its sat at Lombardi's in Bentley and hopefully the chicks insurance will cover me (because obviously mine wont).

The girl was ok, she smacked her head on the steering wheel on impact (seat belt obviously was faulty/not worn properly) and other than being a bit shaky and very apologetic she seemed ok. It was her brothers car so hmmmm.

I wasn't angry with her at all, after all accidents do happen. But I am sorta peeved still at the fact that my car is now unusable, im just hoping to high hell its not a write-off :/

Until next time folks, seeya round on my 20" rimmed, independant front and rear suspension rice-mountain-bike!
