Ferals Lucky Escape.

[rayke1938]

Feral was on way to NPD this morning with daughter and when he was driving along he had a coughing fit and thought I dont feel too good and went to pull into side of road and the next thing he remembers his daughter was shaking him and saying wake up dad.

Insurance ( Alliance) wouldnt tow boat so I had to go and tow it home for him.

They are also giving him a hard time because he used RACQ to tow the car to the Racq holding yard and are asking Feral to pay both the RACQ towing bill and alst to cost to move the car to an Alliance approved repair shop.

The boat was not damaged but the winch post on the trailer was pushed forward about 4 inches and the u bolts securing the post bent.

Hate to think what would have happened if the post would have let go.

.

Spent the rest of the morning taking Feral to doctors where he had ecg and blood tests trying to determine why he passed out.

In the meantime doc says no driving till we find out why and if they cant find anything no driving for 3 months without any more episodes.

Could have been a lot worse if he would have swerved into oncoming traffic as Beehive road is very busy at 7.30am.

Cheers

Hope he is ok mate. Glad to hear no-one was seriously injured

[thousandyards]

woah....that's nuts!

if he's an RACQ member he should get the towing (or part of it) free.....those insurance companies can be real mugs though

good to hear he's all good

[51MPL]

Hope everything works out mate, best wishes on Feral for a quick recovery and to find out why he passed out

[shayned]

Only around the corner my friend would have been there in a second. Glad you and yours are ok.

[werewolf]

Holy mackerel. Glad everyone is OK! Get better soon Feral.

[Eug]

Ouch, lucky no one on the foot path either. Hope you have a speedy recovery mate.

[Ash]

Mate Im glad to hear feral and his daughter's ok. Also glad no one else was injured too, that could have been real messy. Hope nothing bad comes from the tests.

A positive is my dad went through a similiar scenario, minus the car luckily. But he would start coughing then wake up on the floor flat on his back. The docs couldnt find anything and it hasnt happened for over 12 months. Fingers crossed

Prayers are with u Feral!

[rosstralia46]

Wishes go out to Feral mate that is absoloutelty crazy

[Terry H]

Holy crap!

Glad to hear no one was injured! Could have been much worse!

Hope all is well and everything is sorted!

Best Wishes mate!

[Schmuck]

Glad to hear both walked away from that unscathed! Coughing syncope does happen a bit unfortunately the cause can be hard to pinpoint - hope it isn't anything that keeps him away from the fishing.

Take care

[marlin magic]

I hope everything is alright with you feral gad every1 ok and the boat is alright

i hope it works out with insurance mate

[Do$tylz]

wholly hell.. thats full on.

As everyone has already said, thankful that the accident wasn't any worse. Hope your granddaughter is ok... it would have been pretty traumatic to experience that.

Best wishes to Andrew and hope the tests come back with a clean slate.

[Funfisher]

That is a full on accedent and it is amazing no one inside or outside the car was seriously injured a very lucky escape for Feral and his daughter.

[Gad]

holy pope poop...Feral hope all works out well for you,and quickly at that.

cheers

[kriso]

jeeezus! good thing that trailer is built like a birck shit house! best wishes to feral and the fam. jeez those wheelie bins turn to schrapnel too.

[Miss Munchkin]

Glad that Feral and his daughter are ok and that the accident was not any more serious. Hope answers are found soon and that its nothing to serious.

Best Wishes.

[Gazza]

Ray give Feral and family my best wishes and hope they find out why soon.

Gaz

[jeff f]

wow lucky escape allright

good luck with the tests andrew

[Blackant]

Bloody hell. Very lucky. Hope you get going real soon Feral.

Had a black out myself and the law in NSW is I couldnt drive for three months and had to have to brain scan, balance on one leg with eyes closed. Try it. Told doc when I failed that's why I didn't join the bloody circus.

Funny thing is I was told my grey matter had shrunk (age 62)and I told the doc that's because of all the grog and whatever I've drunk.

Get well soon Feral.

[taib]

Holly Sheesh! Thats so sad to see! Im sad this has happened to Feral and his daughter.. Best wishes goes out to you both.

Bloody typical insurance companies! Where the hell is the sympathy!

Regarding the tow, they cannot make feral pay for the tow! Thats a good one for the insurance ombudsman.

[Malcolm]

All the best feral.

That story sucks but i'm sure your next lot of stories will soon be good

[crazywalrus]

Good luck Feral - Cars can be fixed looks like you made the right decision and tried to pull over - Good to see no one was hurt. I hope the tested turn out ok. Thoughts are with you. Cheers Ted

[ellicat]

I was thinking of the big fella while we were away too. Shocking news to get back to. Hope all is well. Tell Feral I've sent him a big kiss - that'll be a good test to check his health.

PS Did he catch anything or did he whimp out on the fishing ? :pinch:

[rayke1938]

Just got a text message he is cleared to drive but the car is a write off.

Cheers

Ray

[bootyinblue]

Ohh man.... now that is a story that has the best outcome possible! Cars and boats can be replaced, but people can be pretty fragile.

Glad that Feral and co survived well and intact :-)

And even more glad that he has been given the all clear to drive as your RMDL is connected to your car licence..... Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!

[tugger]
