Smashed CFL for auction next week.
« on: April 27, 2012, 07:13:59 PM »
G'day

Cruisin' the net I found this CFL for auction in Qld next week:





Full details at:
http://www.pickles.com.au/damaged/item/-/details/10-75--Bedford--CFL--Van/1970052123

It is the one that broke down on the expressway and a truck ran up the back of it:

The problem I have is that most of my stories end with... and that is why I am not allowed to go back there!

With all the large panels both vans held up quite well considering
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

It is actually the same van. the first 2 photos are in the auction yard, and the 3rd at the accident scene.
