For my 666th post.....

My daughters car is a Daihatsu Charade GT Ti turbo - yesterday it was written off after an altercation with a bus a couple of weeks ago.In over 80,000km as an inner city courier driver this is her first big one - I had expected more.The beast is dead,long live the Beast!

That is no personal plate,that's standard issue.

SHit that little bit of damage wrote it off???? Although it is the B pilliar and it is structural? Is your daughter ok? no one got hurt?

Ive got a friend with one of those, with a GTi-R turbo on it, does 12 second 1/4's but thts waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy:Offtopic:

Yeah,the B pillar is damaged,so it needs a rear quarter - it's still repairable,but not for what it's worth,they won't sell it back to me for a cheap enough price to repair.She has to move up a few years anyway.

No one hurt,even the passenger.Turning into a driveway after a bus stop...a bus double parked next to a bus at the stop - as she came around them the inside bus took off....smack!

100hp from a 1000cc 3cyl,they are little rockets alright,comparable to a Skyline turbo.I paid $150 for it and rebuilt it.Just a couple of days before it happened she said to me ''young guys keep coming up to me asking if I want to sell my car...what shall I do?'' Oh for a crystal ball.

Shite! :eek5: Sounds like she and her passenger are lucky people. But that's a really impressive safety record for an inner city urgent courier - I'm well impressed. :)

Pity you can't sell that plate, it's prolly worth more than the car , even pre-crash.

Nicely done - "Up the Irons!"

You know Clive Burr (Original 'Maiden drummer - left after Number of the Beast) has really bad MS? Woah!! Even MORE OT. Sorry folks, but couldn't help but help out a fellow Maiden fan :)

Well what we need to do is have ourselves a great big "Maiden" party.

Anyone know any bogan chicks?
