NRMA replace the car within 2 years of purchase. You can opt for cash instead though....

Dont worry, everyone's fine. I see pictures of them (on the dude's blog) the day after the accident and they're all having a party... no signs of mourning, so everything's fine. A few bruises here n there and neck braces.

It'll buff out.

Bit of bog and some fresh oil...


Seriously though, proves the side curtain airbags work. Wouldn't be cheap to repair though if at all. That's not the hoon in Italy who pulls 200kmh in a straight line down some public road?

Pitty. Nice rims. Must have been a very fast turn onto a gutter that flipped it, big bash up the side makes me think it probably slid on that side a bit.

Air bags... marvelous...
