as some of you know, i had a run in with my mates car 'cause he decided to stop in the middle of the roadand because i didnt have my bumper on at that stage, it made quite a dint




as you can see, it is a rather large dint, i am yet to find my fan blade, it seems embedded in the radiator

one question, opposed to the pictures, my plates read CMH-010, not OMH, some little (use your imagination) decided to draw on it with a permanent marker, but ive heard somewhere that that might have been the original numbers, could someonr shed some light on it???

more pics soon

CMH 010 could very well be the original number.
Whatever you do, don't get rid of the Bi-Centennial plates though - they'll be worth a bit soon.

I would say you'd get away with a bonnet & radiator. The rest should beat out OK - they're made of real metal Very Happy . The bonnets are very hard to get to fit right after a hit. They spring into all different shapes Mad .
It won't be pretty but it will get you back on the road.

Stracho, I saw JW at Eastern Creek yesterday & he told me about your kangaroo incident. He also said something about the car going downhill since you bought it Embarassed .

I clobbered a roo 2 years ago in the van.
Luckily for me, it was dead centre & only destroyed the grille, bumper, radiator & thermofan.
Unluckily for the roo, the front of a Minor isn't very soft.

Well I hit a Renault Clio, which is a small hatchback, in case you don't get them down under.

She hit me on first on the bumper, wich pushed into the wheel, which in its case destroyed the front suspension. But she is getting better now!

yes we do get them downunder, well ive seen them.

hope you gave it a fair dint, just for getting in your way!

and isnt it spelt Cleo? (had debate/ argurment about spelling it at school on friday totaly unrelated)

you must have been going a fair speed for it to break your suspension.

my excuse is there was something on the road, 'cause my breaks locked up, which is hard to do in a little morry, well mine anyway.

Hi Onne and BigG, haven't seen you here before...

Necros, how's the car doing? Is the damage superficial or has it twisted things?
