Alspos is about to be euthanised :(

Post by **Alspos** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:49 pm

Last sunday was driving along happily in the left lane when an 84 year old decided to change into my lane on top of me, leaving me nowhere to go but into the side of him. My POS has damage on R rear and front door, R front guard, bonnet, R headlight, grille and the bumper was ripped off. Left front tyre was also mangled from riding the gutter to avoid Poppy. Poppy finished up doing a 180 across my bow, up the median strip and sideways into a light pole.

POS has served me well for a long time, but sadly I think his time has come to let others of his ilk live on. I think I will be getting the live or die phone call tomorrow.

Couple of pics of better times.

Good to hear that you are ok. Hopefully the commo was fully insured and you get a good payout .
PS Al you know only the good die young and the way you are going you have a long long way to go LOL

A Porker 928 would be reasonable 'compensation' for your loss hey. After all, one was promised to you. Just saying...................

Maybe the "Give Way" sign in your drive-way should have been attached to your car, lol. then poppy may have seen you.
Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad your OK.

Al, that's a shame - looks like she was a very clean and well kept pos.

in case you might be interested, i'll throw this out there: I have a series II vn wagon for sale at the moment.. manual.. fairly right lsd.. tinted windows.. only done 158k kms.. just itching for a v8 swap ;)

I used to own a similar car in the 90's, SV 3800 although a V6. One night it got pinched and burnt to a crisp in a matter of hours!

Wasn't happy at the time but got a decent insurance payout!

As a matter of fact, I don't see too many sv3800 or sv5000 in good nick these days. Plenty of VL's.... Ahh, the best engine in a Holden...a 3L Nissan!!
