lucky you,glad the car copped it and you got away with it(well nearly hope you fix yourself up quick)it's never nice having an accident,but then it does make us realise that they are just cars.Even if we do have names for them and spend more time with them than the Wife at times.
Watch this space, as there maybe a comment added soon

Good news to see your still here mate. Its sad to see your pride and joy go to the gods but your still here and you have another chance. Take that chance with two hands and a fist full of dollars from the Insurer's , and go shopping for another U. Not a Q, no air bags. By the looks of things, you need them.... Hehe.
Great to see, or read, your still here...Get well.

Thanks for the thoughts guys, and Taslucas I couldn't agree more. I got complacent, I'd driven that road too many times after dark and lost sight of just how dangerous that sort of trip is. Never again. It was hard to face my wife when she came to the hospital - her father and stepmother were killed by someone who fell asleep on the Bruce Highway.
But even harder than that was when I was half asleep in the hospital bed and heard some quiet noises, and I opened my eyes to see my three little kids lined up along the bed with long faces. They nearly lost their daddy.

You bozo!!!!!!!!
Glad you are ok and no one else was hurt mate.. my mate use to drive from the middle of the territory to the QLD coast all the time and he was under the pump as time went so he would drive 10 min then jump out the car and run around it twice then get back in and drive another 10min just so he could meet his schedule......
I also think one of the problems was the sticker on the back of your car... it may have contributed to the accident??

LOL
I'll put one of Andy's stickers on the back of the next Patrol.
That's my second crash in 27 years of driving - first was early on, when I was 17 and rolled an LJ Torana that had too much power for a dopey twit with no driving skills. I hope that it is my last!
