Well today on my way home driving on the Western Ring Rd inbound towards the city. I had a accident at about 4:15pm. I hit a guy up the rear at about 60-70km/h after wiping off about 30km/h or so. Damage to my car as far as I know is as follows: Airbags, pretensiors, winscreen, bonnet, bumper, radiator, aircon condensor, radiator support, headlights and maybe fog lamps. Whats under that I can't see I dunno. But I'm ok and thats the main thing. I will get pictures for you guys tomorrow when I get see my car.

It looks bad, but its probarly not as bad as it could be.. The worse part about the Focus's is the cost of spare parts, which could cause the repair bill to blow out and subsequently the car written off.
I feel for you mate :( Tidy looking car

No way in the world that's a 60-70km/h prang. Be less than half that.

I called FocusOnThis yesterday and further to our conversation I just want to say it was good that we had an opportunity to display our cars at the SFS. Hope it all works out and that the main thing is that you're o.k.
Eddie.

Yeah the airbags done their job. I was quite happy with how the Focus handle the impact. No whiplash or anything. Just a headache.

Well it was confirmed to me this afternoon that they have wrote off the car. So there goes 5 years driving a car that looked after me well. Also I met a great bunch a people that I won't stop keeping in contact with. I dunno what to buy next maybe another Focus or a Falcon. I'm not sure. Just have to wait over time I guess

All the best for your search for a replacement. MK |
