Seems the world is against the cruiser at the moment. First the break in last week and yesterday this

Nobody injured, which is suprising for a 90km/h impact straight into the guys drivers side door. The bloke pulled out in front of me, I had no time. Very lucky he was driving another cruiser or he might have been stuffed. His door was at the brake pedal

My first thougth was 'brick wall at 100km/h' because it would have been something nasty to wreck a cruiser like that... Then i read on!! Is everyone ok??

OWCH mate, Glad no one was hurt but it looks like the cruiser has copped a beating!

Hopefully it'll all be sorted out on insurance without too many more headaches!

I think it'll be a write off, but dont know yet. I'll have to wait till the cyclone passes until I can get it assesed. It shits me because I have just got it the way I want. Cyclone is hanging around the coast. Raining resonalbly heavy, wind is around 80km/h so not too bad.

Sounds amazing the guy hit in the door received no injuries, people have been killed at less than half those impact speeds in side on collisions. Any air bags?

Oh Matey that's no good.

Glad you were all OK, both cars.

I was in one of the really early cruisers in a roll over once
and I must say they are well built!!

If they do write her off, do you get salvage rights? You have a lot
of accessories on there.

Take care, hope the big wind stays away from you.

I've always wondered.. If you write off a car and insurance covers the new car.. are you allowed to salvage the old wreck? or will the insurance company want it all.

Nope no airbags in either vehicle. I hit a 78 series cruiser ute, 17000k on the clock.
