But don't worry, its not that bad.
Pulling into the shopping centre at indro shopping centre, I notice they've locked the gates. Before pulling back onto the road, I do a shoulder check, and rear view mirror. Then I hear the screeching tires. Some f&*ktard in a what appears to be stolen jeep came onto the road from a sidestreet sideways, lost it, come around 180 backwards into my baby. I was thinking oh sh*t, I'm going to have to deal with a drunk driver or something. But he just sped off, leaving a messed up bumper bar. Thankfully somehow the first thing in my mind was number plate. I wrote down what I thought it was immediately, and called the olds to ask for what to do. At this point I was shaking too much to get out and check the damage. I eventually emergerd to what would be just a new bumper. Just as I was dialing 000, a cop car pulled up investigating kids throwing crap off the top of the shopping centre. Unfortunately the numberplate I gave them was incorrect, but my luck turned. The twit did a 360 infront of a security gaurd by the indro bridge, who radiod it in. The car perfectly matched my description, and the numberplate was only 1 letter, and 1 number off. The cops stayed around for a while and let me listen in to the reports of this guy causing havic in the area, then they got a call of him nearby, so they took off. I'm fine but rather ****ed off as you could imagine. So if you see a black jeep tonight driving like a tool, keep out of the way, or throw a baseball bat at the driver. Keep safe.

Whooooa, I guess you were very lucky he didn't wipe you out. A bumper is replacable.
I hope they catch this scum bag. Sorry to hear it. |

what is it these days? he'd have to be drunk or driving a stolen car for sure. at least you have a police report which could help you out when they catch him. hopefully the cost doesnt fall onto your pocket.

Sorry to hear about your bumper man, but could have been much worse. Here's hoping they catch the idiot driver.

Sounds like they'll get the ****er, and so you won't have to pay the damamge bill!
This week has been dark times for the e-series :( Mines gonna be off the street for another month or so until I have enough cash to upgrade the diff and a replacement rear axle. Goodluck with the repairs, and rest easy - it wasn't your fault ;)

Well had a better look at the damage just before. The driver's side bumper bar brace that connects to the chasis is bent at about a 35deg angle, so its dropped down about half an inch on the drivers side. I noticed a bit of panel damage on the rear quarter, but looks old, as I resprayed it about 12 months ago and the paint is mint on it.
The cops said they'd give me a ring tuesday to let me know what happened. I'll try to get some pics up tonight. So now the hunt begins for a new bumper.
