yeah, fixable. Not sure if there's any damage underneath, got hit mostly behind the passenger door so there's potential diff/driveline/suspension/exhaust damage. It doesn't look as bad as yours, wun, but it was a square on hit... pax door doesn't open.

Worst thing is not the damage but the fact that's it's our only car at the moment til the compliance is completed on the BMW. So we might be without a car for the next week.

Your subject description is not very illuminating nor enlightening. Trust that insurance will cover most of the $$ damage.

au contraire, o learned one, i find the subject description quite eloquent & self explanatory, i'd commend Matty for being suitably restrained.

Sad news Matty :(

Lets hope a Vic member has a spare car you can both borrow.

Could you get a temporary moving permit for the BMW? Or borrow someone's dealer plates?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

should be OK for transport. Just hoping it can be fixed in time for Sandown... not holding my breath though.

It can still be dríven for now, so I'll hang on to it until it's time to send her to the shop.
