Driving through Miranda Westfields on the car park roof, turned left when making an exit and this stoopid concrete island standing about 10 inches high and 40ft long and painted bright yellow got in my way :redface:

Had many-a-xmas-shopper laughing at me, nevertheless I though the trusty magna could cope with this. So tried to turn off it, but my wheels were just spinning as it appeared to be hoisted up on the tow eyes at the front. So i had to drive down the length of the island until i got to the end. Stopped car, towing eye has lost a massive chunk (who cares) and the under-tray is a bit scraped but still intact. Unfortunately, looks like an exhaust mount between cat and centre box has taken a battering. Definately going to have to take a closer look :cry:

Luckily i don't have the dump tip anymore otherwise that muffler would be history lol

I am such a tool

oh yeah, standard front bar FTW. Not so sure about a VRX bar with my driving now lol

Westfield car parks are crap, never enough room to move.

Same with Townsville's Stockland carpark, have scraped front bumper on those plenty of times. Benny VR-X had a bit of a bingle there too :(

this is the reason why i don't go go car parks lol

yep and they all have crap access to get in/out

Try doncaster shopping centre :bowrofl:

glad i'm not alone. Going to check the sump now

Cybermonkey,
You are not having much luck lately :cry: That poor front end! Hopefully nothing major, just scraping..... Just another reason to avoid shopping centres in the lead up to christmas.

1st thing: wheelalignment

2nd: check everything underneath the car on a hoist with a good light....

mate tough luck with this car maybe its cursed?

cursed indeed. nothing but trouble! but at least its fun :)

Still drives straight as, not worried about wheel alignment. Luckily the wheel that hit the kerb has the brand new shock on it, so would have been fit to absorb the impact lol

wheel isn't buckled. Gonna jack the car up onto stands tomorrow to check underneath. too hot and muggy today to do it

your towing eyes got a chunk missing? Mine's bent 45deg. Lol, result of mounting an unpainted island earlier this year. You SHOULD be ok, but doesnt hurt to get under and have a good look.

Since when do you need a tow hook when you own a magna anyway?:P

Tow hook usage is reserved for only a handful of members.

yes, only needed by those exceeding 200kW at the wheels

Haha, mine have been shaved about 4mm from bottoming out and scrapage!

mine now has about 2 mm between the edge and the actual eye
