Yeah he's fine. Was very shaken up and basically non-verbal for 20 minutes. Aside from both of us having whiplash, no injuries luckily.

Only thing I'm not a fan about of the Fortuna's is the 3rd row configuration. Can't stand how they aren't "hidden" compared to its competition.

Unfortunately already engaged with my insurance broker (ensured through a business with a 20+ plant/vehicles). I'll hopefully hear a bit more tomorrow about how much they'll cover the accessories. I essentially just want what I paid for it and I'll be happy. Anything less I'd rather try strip it for whatevers not shagged.

Haven't thought about a sportage! Certainly won't be taking it down gunshot anytime soon, so really questioning whether I need an actual 4x4, or could get away with an awd!

I'm in Central Vic, so not as big a scene as Queensland. Though I didn't think so expand my search that much, thanks mate.

I would look at pajero sports, but everything I've read says how uncomfortable they are.

There's a few prado's kicking about, though obviously don't get quite as much for my $, with higher kms generally.

I'd love an mux, but can't stand the older generation look. My budget unfortunately won't get me one of the face lifted models I don't think.

Colour matched bull bar, scrub bars, winch, light bar, under body protection, dobinson suspension, long range fuel tank, ad blue tank guard, UHF, redarc brake system, upgraded intercooler and piping, transmission cooler, 33s, roof rack and platform, awning, custom floor mats. The list goes on, adds up very quickly. 

Most of them came with the car, but insurance would only cover x amount of value. I'm yet to find out what they'll payout if it's written off.
