Boosted Falcon

Nah I was alright. Nothing broken. My organs got hammered though. There was blood for the first week when going to the toilet.

I hit the ground and I thought my body missed the car then bam. It knocked the wind out of me really badly and I was crawling around on my hands and knees for a while thinking I was gonna die. Then I got my breath back and felt fine.

Someone called an ambulance so I had to go to the hospital and they did all kinds of tests to make sure nothing was broken and nothing else was smashed up inside. My resting heart rate was 130 bpm so they thought I had internal bleeding. They kept me there from 8am til about 1130 that night under observation but since I didnt die they sent me home.

Apparently Ive got a tuff spine. They all said I shouldnt be walking anymore.

For the first few weeks I would wake up in massive pain and had to lie in bed and not move until the pain killers kicked in. I needed painkillers for the first 2 months but it slowly got better. I think the pain stopped around 6 months later.

All the muscles in my back, shoulders, chest and sides were hurt and my lungs copped a caining. If I coughed, sneezed or twisted it was really bad. It still hurts sometimes if I twist my body to look behind me and my neck has started cracking like when you crack your knuckles but other than that no permanent damage.

Buy a lotto ticket?...you're 1 lucky s.o.b.

2 years ago I witnessed a guy lose his life on a bike from a pretty minor error on his behalf....made 1 hell of a mess.

You still ride?

I just ride on the dirt now.

I only really commuted on the road bike. I wasnt interested in going on weekend rides or trackdays so I havent bothered getting another one. I wouldnt commute again. The time saved getting to work isnt that much and its a fair bit more expensive to ride too with insurance and servicing costing so much.

The stories from the tow truck company that took the bike away didnt help either :S

They said the majority of times they pick up a bike there is blood and guts spread out everywhere and the rider is likely dead.

bike riders = T.A temporary australian

I see the same bolke every day on my way to work duckng a weeving through traffic and he is speeding at the same time. One day someone is not going to see him and he is going to be hurt.

after i lost it in the wet

back when i had my LTD lookin good and almost ready for a trip to vic

A girly hit compared to some here.

This was a mate's EF Fairmont wagon, dubbed the Bad Meat Boat. Ironically he was hit by a butcher's truck, no shit. He's doing orright though, got away with a rod in his leg & some facial injuries...

Fvck mate that's bad!! Glad to here he is ok.

holly f..k hes alive

Fark! Decent carnage!

Far out! All this shows how strong Ford made these E-Series!

Jeebus!!!!!
Definitely lucky to be alive!!

heres my effort (no where near as bad as some of you guys tho):

was doing 50 in a 50 zone through main st samford brisbane. i wasnt concentrating at all and before i knew it, bam!. had about 1 second to react so i slammed the brakes and yanked the steering wheel left, collecting a 2007 model holden statesman (with a towbar ) then careered into the gutter, mounted a hedge and narrowloy missed an iron fence. because i was doing under 60km/h the abs never kicked in, even one of the cops at the scene said if i were speeding i probably could have avoided the incident...aint that a bitch!!!
(my description sounds like i was doing way over 50km/h an hour but all these objects were close together)

apologies for going crazy with the photos

heres my dads effort at pranging my brothers EF mont...he cant drift lol

You guys make me never want to drive my car again!!

nah mate its just cause we suck at driving well hahaha

this is my worst effort, nothing compared to the other hectic shit

hahaha 3 months, youre lucky you never got pinched for that

Not my car, but my parent's AU Futura Wagon... Pushed the chassis rail in at the front by 1".. No real exterior damage, it was all underneath.. and it was written off.. lol

Never crashed myself, but my mates & sister seem to get a fair bit of action:
Soz for the picture load

Sister had a few goes..

All fixed (parts courtesy of Ronza :



Guy pulled out in front of my girl's dad on the hwy (dad was driving a landcruiser):


And I know its not an e-series, but one of the guys boarding with me rolled his jackeroo:

This thread makes me think twinlights cause accidents!

The fairmont won that battle.

Link seems to be broken? Wanna re post? I wanna see that

Phuck that galaxy AU engine is more of a shambles than the interior was.

here is a bloke i used to work with's EF, he lost it coming out of a roundabout, and hit a parked truck.
and the airbag was disconnected too, he was a bit sore, and he had only had the car 2 days

i guess its not really good to see this thread up and running again lol...take care of your e series fellas

well this is my old ef,my son bought it from me and got run into by a truck running a red light.
Irony is I built the truck that hit him.
So 70kmh area B double cuts A red light,3hrs to cut him from the car.(EMERGENCY SERVICES AND RESCUE ARE FUCKING AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!)
He came out of it with a broken femur.
Have never in all my years seen a camshaft embedded into the head and only a 3rd of the engine size left due to the truck compressing it!
If anyone knows how to put these images up instead of the link,I am not very techy with computers

Thank all of the brainy people that invented air bags!!

mine's not as bad as some. hit a safety barrier coming home from work....in the wet





also saw a boat come off a back of a trailer going about 80kph. slid for about 150m. i was shitting myself as i was going in the opposite direction a couple of lanes away. lucky no one was close to the car when it happened

Is that an EL GT steering wheel?

One things for sure, E-Series are safe cars in a crash.

looks a bit like it! Makes me wish I'd had a closer look.
Yeah e series are good as. My sisters Ef up there got drilled by an au falcon doing about 90, didnt do that much damage considering!

Looks like an optional AU Ghia/LTD woodgrain Momo.

What my AU departed like:


I suppose it is one way to remove the ugly from an AU S1!

Don't they only have a strip of wood visible from inside the car though?

Here's a couple pics of my XE after my mate rolled it driving to Bathurst in 2000, just out of Rankin Springs, we hit the 160km marker to Hay, so it's easy to remember. I was in the back dying with the flu at the time.



Being in a crash is weird. I remember getting sideways, looking out the window and thinking "shit this is gonna hurt, don't die", then I couldn't open the door while I was upside-down, so I punched the window out, then punched the front window in to get a mate out. It took 3 hours for the pain to kick in. What's stupid is I was wearing steel-caps at the time.

[Edit} - I got a $61 fine for crossing a double white centre line. And a $780 towing bill.
