I Dis-Like Kangaroos

[Froudey]

Well Froudey hit a god damn roo. will post pics up tomorrow.

i was coming back from newy after a short day trip and 5:30 this arvo driving between Merriwa and Dunedoo outta no were BANG a bloody roo. rang insurance and will go from there so maybe i will have a nice new shiny shiny front end for the all ford day on the 31st.

it damaged the xr6's inner lights smashed, grille area smashed, drivers head light all the tabs are broken, bonnet is kafucted and condenser is dented but no leaks. so now i got to pay an excess of 550 but i suppose it isn't all bad if i got to pay that as the front ends are pricy..

He explained that he would replace most of the front apart from the low beams as they seemd intact. told me he would have to respray the guards a tad to blend all the new paint work in.

so yeah next week she should be going to get repaired.

so MY car is getting fixed and should be ready next week, by john lile smash repairs in Dubbo. You remember them mainly Jay and his 1968 XT Falcon that was featured in "Street Fords Present POWER special"

So it will be done right the first time, they all ready have the front end bare considering i only dropped it off wednesday morn.
