On the first leg there was a minor prang between 2 VLs on the roundabout in Blackwood. I didn't see it but apparently it wasn't too bad, just some minor bumper damage.


here's the "minor bumper damage":(
I was braking into the roundabout at the start of Main Road, the other dude changed lanes in front of me. I was braking and ran out of space. I'm not laying blame at all. I dunno who's fault. We'll sort it out.
I was looking forward to this cruise too. what a **** of a day.

WANTED
little angled strip for on top of the front bumper, group A bumper, left hand head lights and any other bits that are broken. And some metallic green paint too.
And the angled bit above the rear bumper of the other dude's car. :(


All fixed. It looks better than before. No stone chips. $1000 insurance excess later. :(

spewin i didn't make it, sounds like it was a good turnout. Typical the day i can't make it we have a big turnout, hopefully the next one we have will be a little later so that we can have a few more who work turn up! Spewing about the prang there. Be good if a few of you guys who came out come on the cruise with me and my mates, at the moment we are looking at atleast 20 cars, should be good!

Who has the number plate VLCT? I saw them driving tonight up on Anzac Highway and i was thinking "hey, i recognise that car from somewhere". Cool looking car in real life too.

yeh, the one with the busted old stock commo rims and a busted left hand mirror, haha. The whole time i was saying to my mate, i've seen that car before, i've seen that car before.

Did you go on the cruise with about 10-15 other commos? I saw them going up Glen Osmand at about 10-1030ish, one day my car will be presentable enough to go on those cruises, being 16 1/2 (nearly 17) with a part time job and a v8 it's a bit hard to save cash, lol.
