    Hey guys, sounds like a write off might be a good thing. I totally agree it will never be the same again.

    Talked to the guy who came to tow it and he said if they write it off I can do a direct swap for anything ive changed on the car. So i can put my factory mags back on and put the factory head unit back in and keep my stuff. Ill get the speakers out too.

    BTM with the arm, i usually drive with my right hand at the top of the steering wheel so when the airbag cover hinged up it hit me under my forearm.

    Not exactly sure but i think it was from the air bag. Only things i had loose were my phone and my wallet on the front seat and i dont think it was those Click here to enlarge . The windscreen was smashed from the inside tho.

    Not good about the astra, pretty pricey.

    Wasnt driving too fast or too close, just the usual distance away when you are slowing down for a roundabout. He started to go and the road I was turning onto has a 90km speed limit and is a bit blind so you have to look right as you turn to check for hoons coming up to the roundabout (100-110 is common on that road). Just bad timing that when i looked was the exact moment he changed his mind an decided not to go.

    Yeah I should've seen him but I wasnt going too fast or following too close, just an accident.

    Insured for $14380, but to get one with the same k's (only done 47000) for the price wont be easy, possible but might have to search a bit.
