Good points:
- Chris had gone home about half a hour beforehand. Her car would have been toast otherwise.
- Shane had moved the trailer up the back else wise that would have been wrecked! Along with his car.
- it missed Shane's car by about 50 cms
- my car was directly behind the wall. The bushes stopped the shrapnel hitting it.
Annoying points:
- I currently do not have a kitchen- the last thing I want is a mess out the front.
- I heard the crash.
- we leapt out of bed to rush to offer assistance to the vehicle occupants.
- we couldn't see any cars crashed on the road! Doh wonder why...Shane even walked down to the letter box - but didn't see the fence, we weren't looking that way.
- went back inside very puzzled over what we had heard - I knew I'd heard something.
- while we were outside, we listened to a very sick car chug down the road...(there goes the number plate) darn it would have been so easy to get...if we had just known. If he'd like to pop back, I can give him his light covers, mudflaps, wheel nuts... etc...
The whole left side of the fence has to go, pillar and all. It wobbles now. It is upright, but that is all.
I guess it was good they weren't hurt! Pity that we have to pay the price for their hit and run....
Our neighbour, two doors down, who also rushed outside, let us know it was a Ford Falcon ute when he discovered what had happened.
What still amazes me, is that his car still was drivable....it was sideways across the grass, dug out concrete on the footpath.
