A bit if a buff and cut and polish and i reckon it will look like new again....

Lucky it no one was sitting in the passengers seat ah.
Don't think they would of been as lucky as the driver.

Wow - built like a brick sh*t house is right.

I had a blow out at 115 kph in a swb GQ when touring the south island quite a few years back - shot off the road to the left, down a deep ditch, up the other side and hit a concrete power pole square on, knocked it over and kept going. Finally came to rest in a farmers paddock. I reckon if it wasnt for the bullbar and the rigity of the 4x4 i was in, I wouldnt be here today! Changed the tyre and it drove itself out....

People (obviously no one on here) can bash 4x4's and go on about how unsafe they are all they like, but I know what kinda vehicle I'd rather be sitting in, in a crash!

Im 4x4 hunting and buying a new wagon for the missus.

Her Navarra got hit by some (*&^sucker yesterday having a tantrum at her.
The bullbar needs a buff I spose. The guy needs a lawyer now :).

This crash stuff makes my fuel/rego sums look a bit sick really.
Its like the magic locator beacons in the bush.
They may be $600+ but ask a cold wet hungry guy with a busted leg in the bush if he would give you $600 to get him to a hospital? Probably.

Cheers for boosting my reasons for wanting a SWB GQ!!!!!!!!!
