    The rear trailing arm is $700 on its own...
    Nothing to see here...

    Wow - thats a fair bit of damage. Good on you for chasing them and making them pay.

    Although I'm highly amused about their 'we'll pay but you can't blame us' stance.

    Just got in the .:R and surely enough the radio wouldn't turn on at all. Even when i manually tried to turn it on. Turned on on the return drive though. Going to call NRMA for a quote before i get stuck somewhere.

    What battery you go with thekraut? How much?

    learnt that if i rev it in neutral (or clutch in), and then wait a moment, and then push back on the throttle quickly, i get a nice big black cloud of smoke (with associated backfire sound)
    stinks sooo bad!

    could come in handy when there are pesky tailgators or cars behind with annoying lights! hehe

    Mate, sorry to hear that did the R-Line wheels make it through that without damage?
