[CodeBurn3r]

Farrrrk Morgs!
glad she's ok..
how did that happen? hit the raised driveway bit?

Was she maybe going a bit quick?
i mean i can see how it can happen with those messed up driveway crossings and the angle of the kerb and what not...
your wife rolled a car before me!
i know im going to flip a car oneday.. i hope i can walk away from it like that..

also... when she gave you the call... did you think it was a joke? i would have... then i would have broken many laws getting there very quickly.. but i probably wouldn't have believed it straight off the bat

[Morgan]

Cheers guys.

She's a trooper. The rd is a 60 zone. She would've been doing the speed limit. At least no more than 5 over. There was a guy in the house it happened in front of who saw it flip. This is a massive black spot and something happens there nearly every time it rains - hopefully this is enough to get her out of neg driving (no ticket was issued but the cop said it wasnt up to her). Car started sliding around the corner, she broke, realised you're not supposed to do that, accelerated, fishtailling, hit the bank, and it flipped.

Was trapped for a little while, was tapping on the rear window for someone to let her out.

I missed the first call because I was still sleeping. As I went to answer it, it stopped ringing. She left a voicemail, "morgan, call me asap". Ah crap, I knew something had happened, she only left the house 5 mins ago. The accident seriously, happened about 800m down the rd.

I called back 10 times or soemthing but bad reception + her calling my parents phones, + sisters phone + her parents phones = couldn't get through to her!

Another neighbour brought her home and I ran down and she told me what happened, I already had wallet and keys ready to go...

Will give the GP a call now and book her in.

Then onto AAMI.

I think I need to get her a Subaru now. Probably wouldnt've happened in an AWD... :s

HOLY **** GLAD SHE'S OK! THAT'S GNARLY!

[Hypnotic]

Morgs as stated in the Wrecked thread, glad she is ok

[skillionaire]

For the record, every chance it would've happened in an AWD, she just would have been going faster!!

Cheers dude.

There's always a chance....

Good news out of all this, it's fully comprehensively insured for $12,900. Excess of $550 + $300 drivers excess leaves us with just over $12k to buy and insure another car.
For only spending $8,788 to buy and insure the SP20, it's a bit of a win

[Morgan]

There is a video of it being pulled back onto it's wheels in the wrecked thread.
Makes a horrible noise

[skillionaire]

Hopefully the insurance process is quick and painless.

[Morgan]

On the phone to them now.

[Morgan]

Haha dad got into work this morning and one of his partners said she heard on the radio that there was an accident on Palm Valley road this morning.

We're famous!

[Dylan]

Hahahaha, glad she is ok.

Awesome about the value of it, gonna suck that it's gonna cost you guys more to insure future cars though innit ?

[Morgan]

Appently she's on a fixed premuim or something. The dude at AAMI told her it isn't going to go up which is pretty sweet.

[skillionaire]

It won't go up immediately, but your premium will go up if you renew.

If it stays the same on renewal, that's a lucky deal.

[Morgan]

Will probably be different with a different car anyway...

Off to the Drs

Glad she's alright Morgs. Get her into a suby. AWD has saved my (and a few family members) arse(s) a few times. FWD cars are the worst, once they let go, they're gone and there's not alot you can do but hold on for the ride and hope for some grip.
