Hi guys,
I am from Melbourne and I will start looking for a 5.Gen Prelude from now on. Sadly I had a bad accident in my Mitsubishi Lancer 2 days a go, the car is a write off and my passenger and I are still in hospital. Believe it or not, we had a 15m semitrailer suddenly doing a u-turn across 7 lanes on sunshine ave (80kph zone). I slammed the brakes but due to the rain (and missing ABS) I could not slow down enough and we hit the truck at about 60kph.

Unlike many other drivers I want a 5. gen Prelude for it's safety features. I also love the looks and ride a 2009 CBR600RR. I cannot spend more than 6k and I am looking for a car under 180 000 km, which won't be easy to find I guess. I hope to find some support and I will read through buyer guides in this forum. I am sorry if this post misses structure, I am still under strong pain relievs but cannot sleep at the moment.

Please stay always save on the road,
Michael

Next to the BP, i'll link google maps On the map it looks like there is a lot of space, but if you see it via Streetview you can see that it is clearly very narrow. I just don't get why he couldn't do a u-turn 100m down the road at the massive roundabout.
