Corolla Sportivo V's Merc

[Hodgie]

My Girlfiend that was driving, is ok but rattled, has some bad seat beat bursing and a rub on her nose from air bag. Bit stiff so glad nothing worse happened. Just shows how good corolla saftey is. Person driving other car had broken ribs and is ok now too.

Found out today that car is a total loss. Still waiting on insurance to payout. Have to get quotes on new car.

I'm actually quite suprised that none of the remaining panels on the Rolla were not buckled or falling off. I've seen some examples where the front of the car had been hit and the doors and roof panels (which were not touched by the crash) had been damaged due to the design of the body to absorb shock - it was a VS Commodore.

Good to hear no one got hurt - although I must say if it happend to my Corolla and it wasn't my fault, I would've ensured the bloke's broken ribs weren't caused by the crash, but rather by the owner of the Sportivo, if you know what I mean..

Take Care!

Crash happened on cross road. Sportivo going straight thru intersection. Green Light driving 50 km (SA speed limit). Merc Coming from other direction, wanting to turn right. Didn't give way and crashed into front drivers side fender and tried to drive across front of sportivo. Car will be auction by RAA (Adelaide SA) not sure where it's going.

yeah group buy lol

id love the door trims and good condition panels same colour as mine then could go all out and custom paint either mine or the others.

good to see no one was dramaticly injured mate.

and im seriously impressed with the crumple zones in the rolla wouldnt have thought it was that strong. but looks to have come off better than the merc.

[Nino_Leb]

aslong as insurance pays should be fine, then you can get a black one which go faster than red ones haha :)

[Guest]

Sorry to see it man :(

But like the vulture I am -> any idea when it's going to be auctioned?

[DANZZT231]

It'll be mad if the 2zz-ge Throttle body can actually be fitted onto 1zz.
