Good to see you walked away mate but, it's times like this I wonder why people don't have insurance? I'm guessing you've wasted a lot of cash on this and now that's all down the drain.
Good luck with your new project.

For most people full comp is only a few hundred more then third party but worth every cent.
Unlucky though. Good luck in the future endeavours. Glad you were able to walk away

the only reason for not having full insurance is because of my wheel spacers which are illegal and void my insurance if i smash it.

Ouch! That's a fair hit!
NRMA didn't say anything when I got hit with my spacers. May have been different though as the claim was thru their insurance not mine.

i was with aami too, maybe if i knew this i may have considered paying $800 for full ins. but then again they probably wud only pay me market value of about 3k if it was a writeoff., like it was.

That sucks mate, fair old hit. Good to see your ok and probably a good move going on to something faster/newer/safer.
Out of interest what sort of tyres are you running?

Do you think having cheap tyres was a factor?
Heaps of people go for cheap china tyres on big rims and handling in wet weather especially turns to shit...

maybe, possibly the cheaper grade tyres may have had a factor in the accident, but considering the conditions where it wasnt actually raining but lightly drizzling and it had been dry previous few days, the road was very slippery in this case., hard to say if cheaper tyres were the cause.
new versus rims... sorry car is dirty and needs a wash!
gave her a wash today...
