he thought i was going to take off into a gap which was actually far too small. the real problem was that he was in a Nissan Navara work ute (utility) and he got a good run up before hitting me. i have been told i will lose my car for a minimum of eight working days, so now i have my father and my fiance chauffeuring me around - alas, no hire car. at least i live near public transport
on the plus side, we signed up with a builder over the weekend so we are finally making a bit of progress.

just heard back from the insurance company - no fault claim, therefore no excess and no affect on rating (i.e. it's all the other guy's fault).
also, just shy of AU $4000 damage (about 13.5% of original purchase cost). now i just have to wait for repairs *twiddles thumbs and whistles tunelessly*

As long as you don't have to wait as long as I did when some berk drove into the side of my car - they had it for about 7 WEEKS!
And the damaged wasn't that bad I thought - paintwork and light panel damage, slight damage to 2 alloys where a hit a curb - and I think they replaced half the car! And were waiting for a couple of parts from Nissan, which was why it took so long.
I thought the company (that my insurer chose and took the car to) that my car was taken to was taking the insurance company for a ride, by fixing more than was necessary!

not really sure how that would work out jojo. i don't see that many melbournians regularly on esato, and the aussies i do know are expats. apart from all that, i can't expect people to fly down especially for my nuptials, and i value my anonymity.
if any esatonians with whom i regularly communicate are in melbourne around the time of my wedding, and they are desparate to come, i suppose they could PM me and i'd think about it (after we've worked out things for the people i actually
do know).

@gelfen - So the wedding will be held in Australia after all
! Yup! I do understand your idea/thoughts of inviting some more folks here
Also, the RSVP thing will also come to mind - right ? Well, whatever it is in the end, I just hope that all will work out as expected. Will it be a church or garden wedding
Where's the reception/honeymoon be held mate
!

the wedding will be at an anglican church in melbourne, the reception at a function centre in the suburbs of melbourne, and the honeymoon at an island off the coast of queensland and in sydney (
spiders
).
sorry for being vague - it's an anonymity thing - but i will furnish more precise details closer to the date, or maybe after

@gelfen - H m m m . . . I guess photos will do best rather than emitting those details mate ! Try wearing a mask ala Phantom Of The Opera, so that your 'anonymity' will still be intact
