That is pretty bad, as said lucky to be OK! I would defiantly fight that charge if you are sure you were in the right will at least get money to do up the next car from the cruiser owner if they find him at fault, same deal with cars up mt glorious here in QLD so many people cut corners up there.
That road looks like a very nice long drive, winding roads next 65kms! Sounds good!

The roads down there are great for quite Sunday drives in our prides and joys, but the hazards on the road are almost deadly as I found out the hard way....
Thought I might say, that looking at the car now, it looks like the strut brace played a big part in saving the strut tower hitting the firewall/cabin..... Great value for the $50 I paid for it

Yeah I have seen a ke with stitch welded engine bay in a decent crash and made a bit of difference.

Nothing left of the strut tower spot welds...... Only held there by the strut brace...

so wats salvageable on it max?? didnt get much of a look on the day
ROYAL GARAGE NEWCASTLE
Main things of value that I am worried about is the GReddy coilover (which I never really wanted to put in anyway), and my big brake kit ($1200 kit (custom hubs etc....)..... The rest (intercooler, radiator, fans etc....) are not big dollar items on the scale of things.....
Cant see yet if the front has been pushed into the crank/pulley, but it looks like the engine might be ok. Top cam cover plastic is squashed, so not sure if the timing belt survived....
The only oil that leaked was from the oil cooler lines, and that was all after the engine had stopped. (engine stopped instantly)
Not sure if the ECU (Microtech LT10s) survived. The POSITIVE + terminal in the engine bay (battery mounted behind passenger), is pushed up hard against an earth in the engine bay.... Hopefully the fuses saved it...
The Good:
I lived, with all limbs.......
The turbo setup survived. Manifold (steam pipe), Garrett GT28R, dump etc are all fine......
