5:15PM Monday 19th July 2006, The day that changed my life!

At precisely 5:15PM today, Monday 19th of July 2006 an event occurred that will change my life forever! I have been dreading this day all my life. The day I became another statistic on the road.

Firstly, I would like to say I am ok and so if the driver, the wife and 2 grand daughters in the other car.

Secondly, I am very upset that my pride and joy has been scratched and now needs to be fixed. What a pain in the arse!!!! How did this happen?? To me of all people!!! Well, I shall tell you. I was on my way home from work and had stopped on the east side of the intersection of Springvale Road and Burwood Highway, heading west towards the city. The lights were RED, the cars in front of me were stopped.

Once the lights went GREEN the cars were slow taking off. I waited for the car in front of me to move off. As I was waiting a quickly glanced in my rear vision mirrow to see a car hurtling up my arse... BANG!!!! Oh shit... this is going to be bad. I got out to see an elderly man jump out of his car, apoligise, and inspect the damage. His wife and two grand daughters were a little shaken, but ok. My bumper, however, had seen better days. Rather than its normal beautiful black it had shades of green, chips missing and scratches.

We exchanged details, left, called RACV, then Bob to get the rest of his details and now the fun games of getting quotes, being without a car and stuffing around.

I'll get back to you with in update... Greg
