DrphTa 5 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) going to an e36. i was in orakei turning right into kupe street. on the flush median about to turn when this toyota surf comming towards me was also turning into kupe street but left. so he had to give way to me. i turned infront of him and he hesitated and decided to go straight. hit in the left hand side and spun me around. his car hit me so hard that i was projected 10-15m up onto a patch of grass with the whole car up on the curb. the car was still running at the time as well Edited July 14, 2006 by DrphTa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 477 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 A large number of those (written off) cars appear at Turners Damaged. Unless you really know what you're looking at, or for, it's probably best avoided. Pity, looked like a lovely car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
