It clipped the rear right of the trailer at the bottom, scraped past the mud guard and stripped off the bearing buddy. That was the Extent of the trailer damage! The world is my crumple zone!

Didn't the idiot know where he was in the lane?
How would he manage to get past cyclists, allowing 1m clear space, when he's willing to drive too close to something big and obvious that can actually damage him?

Wow, that's going to hurts his motor insurance premium next year. Just as well he had those big tough bull bars did a great job!!! I hope your windsurfing kit was all ok?

Still trying to decipher that much carnage....
Did he stuff the car kind of under the trailer? Passenger door n front end damage amazing with only minor trailer damage. Well built trailer!

A corner made from 3.5 mm RHS vs. 0.9mm sheet metal. The tie rod end was probably due for replacement anyway.

Reminds me of when I was rear ended by a 4wd while driving with a Hobie cat on trailer. They drove straight between the hulls, only minor damage to trailer, mast broke their windscreen, front of 4WD smashed up (no Bull Bar thank God). When I realised the boat was ok, I was mainly pissed of because I didn't get to go sailing

You'd expect that kind of panel damage, but what surprised me is the snapped steering arm
Can't be built for driving offroad surely....

We had Rodeo that age at work and hitting a couple fo small roos I was amazed that "roo bar" is like tin foil. It moved so much ir caused more panel damage than not having one!

Anyway most importantly the WS gear is OK!!!!!
