Oh yeh. If you are having pains, go see a doctor straightaway! Any injuries resulting from an acco generally are paid out from the Motor Accidents Authority (via CTP insurance).

Mitsubishi brothers and sisters stick together. We drive together and we fly together.

Alright I'm turning all motherly.... Have you been to the doctors yet??? If not get your ass down there. Strange as it may seem you can actually fracture a vertebrae with whiplash and in extreme cases whiplash can kill by breaking your neck. Now obviously you're still alive but you have no idea the lasting damage whiplash can cause... get on to it now!!!! Or I'll have to spank you!!!

*AJ whispers out the corner of his mouth to Sublime*

Go, but don't tell Kaz, then you get a spank *wink*

We understand the pain...... I'm still mad & sad over the little dent in mine where someone used my girl as a "guide" to measure how long their car was......

(btw Ben - who is that panelbeater guy you reckon is good at pulling out dints?)

Agree with Kaz - get to Dr ASAP!!! It's never wise to argue with her - you may end up worse than you are now.

Damage can be usually be fixed or reversed if treated early - leave it for too long and you are generally stuck with it.

Good Luck - keep us all updated.

Cheers
Tanya & Robert

aww shucks.. thanks kaz hehe i'll definately be at the doctors 2moro morning as my neck is getting worst and stiff as im sitting at work..!!
hope i can squeeze going to 2 smash repairers and the doctor all in 1 day tomorrow!!

and by the way i just got a quote from north shore mitsubishi, both lights will cost $1064.80
now the plastic bit on the lights has snapped off on the edges, on the right hand light though it's only been pushed into the metal and there's a small chuck missing in the bottom corner, is this enough to get completely new lights or can they just replace the covers on them?

You shouldn't be bothering to ring around & get pricing on parts - its not your problem

Its the insurance / panel beaters job.

Think of it in the bright side, i saw you FTO perfect conditions before

Hmm ... maybe i should think of a better way to cheer you up instead, just let your insurance do the work

sublime19 · Post by **sublime19** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 5:05 pm

ah ok was just seeing how much the lights cost, and if they cost around the same as the altezzas then i can just buy them from W1LL instead

so im hoping both the lights will have to be replaced lol..
now im just getting greedy!!
well im still worried abt gettin the DC bar

sublime19 · Post by **sublime19** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 5:36 pm

does anybody know how much it would cost to get a DC bar from japan?
im thinking if i go to a smash repairer tomorrow and they dunno how much it'll cost to get a DC bar then at least i have an idea of how much it'd cost

It won't be cheap. Last time I checked a gen one cost somewhere in the vicinity of $600 ex shipping..and I'm not sure if they're still readily available.

dammit.. i spose as a lost resort in case i dont get the DC bar... i can go for this instead..

http://www.carmate.com/product_details. ... &p_id=5868

but i realli just want the DC..

well i'll just hope for the best and see how things work out..

You know what's sh*t??
Yesterday I was having one of the WORST days... the day started off with a v8 tailgaiting me and almost hitting me since he must have been in a rush and was cutting through traffic like a lunatic.. even though i was going 40 in the school zone the idiot tailgated me and zipped thru me and another car just barely and that just put me in a sh*tty mood.. had half a mind to chase him but i wouldnt want to sink that low to his level.
then i get to work and omg.. i got so many idiotic LUNATICS who hadn't paid their accounts, and i had to work on their files and do nothing all day but go through payment histories for accounts and everybody was telling me i must be havin a bad day ..
i just had a feeling something was going to happen cos no way so many things can possibly go wrong in one day.. when i got to the shops, there wur these 3 little shyts im guessing around 18ish who wur acting like king shyt and they spat right in front of me when i was walking out from the car park.. im not gonna take that shyt and i almost had a fight with em and i just had a bad feeling about the whole night.. i thought "with my luck i wouldnt be surprised if somebody ran into me" and i was a bit paranoid abt leaving my car in the car park shopping centre.. and it ended up happening on the way home..
what a sh*tty day the whole day...!!!
