Oh im almost in tears

That is a nice car, and i know i am prob a little biased towards the fords, but you can affreciate the time and effort it took to restore and maintain a nice old muscle car like that.

driver was meant to have been found at fault, but no one ever said what actually happened

@#$%&? ouch!

I know both theses cars and they are not the same one.

The ones on the left in your pic are of a Genuine Phase 3 restored by Gran Tourer. The others are of a replica built out of a Falcon 500.

If you look at the pics properly you will notice one has the rear spoiler and the other doesnt, and the smashed one all so has cowl mounted gauges.

I love how these pics have been throw around. I wish people would get there stories right in the first place.

ok so they're not the same car

anyidea on how it happened TuffXR?

A garbage truck had blown a hydraulic line in the same street. He and two other cars where damaged the same day.

He saw the oil on the road and as we all know what happens when you lock up and hit water, well same thing with him. The bride was bloody lucky she wasn't killed. Yes the car will be repaired, and no it was not because he was stuffing around.

**** hey somebody actually knows whats happening still feel sorry for the fella in the crashed car hiting a pole like that would have ****ed you off

i just towed a XB GT last week... same sort of thing happened but this car was involved in a shed fire and the bloke has just finished rebuilding it again... not a ford man but you gotta feel sorry for the time and effort that goes into building the car...

yeah well I look at this way if the same thing was to happen to your own car then you would be devastated so I feel for these guys. and sadly these things do happen.

And you would be wrong. Read my earlier post, before make that sort of comment.
