Hi all,

 

I just wanted to take a couple of mins to send a massive and sincere thanks to Lee Dent and Ian (300ZX_666) for helping me out today after I wrote my Zed off on the M6 on Monday :(

 

Unfortunately I think it's safe to say that the car isn't worth repairing but I'm extremely grateful for Lee and Ian's help in getting the car back to Lee's where it can be checked over to see what options I've got with the parts.

 

Thankfully no one was hurt but I feel like I've let everyone down on this forum for being involved in yet another Zed being taken off the road. And Lee put hours and hours of work into the car last year... I'm truly gutted and devastated that I've lost the car but at least I'm still here and I think it won't be too long before I'm back behind the wheel of a 300.

 

So once again HUGE thanks guys :)

Thanks Sarah, it was my pleasure helping, and you are definitely a lot prettier to look at than Lee is, so I got the best part of the job.....pmsl.....Sorry Lee!!!.....:lol::lol::lol:

your very welcome hun it was great to finally meet you today ill be in touch about the wrapping LOL

 

JNR

I feel your pain. Sorry to hear your bad news but is good to know no ones hurt.

Hope your back in a z soon.

Sorry to hear about the old zed.

 

Fingers crossed a nice shiny one will be coming along shortly :innocent:

Shame about your zed, but at least you are ok. Well done Ian and Lee for helping out!

Glad you are ok Sarah and well done you guys for helping. This Winter has taken its toll on Z's yet again.

Sorry it can't be fixed Sarah. Hopefully you can make a bit of money out of breaking it and put it towards another zed. My car should be down at lees next Saturday to get the engine fitted, if I need any parts I will let you know.

I saw your zed the other day on a transporter heading up towards lees place. Was supposed to text him about it. Looked nasty. Such a shame..

Ooo sarah thats a real shame hunny, glad you are ok and get on the hunt for a new car soon x

Glad ur ok m8 but what happened

Cheers for your kind words all.

 

SpinDoctor....it sounds like the driver of the car in front managed to knock it into 'park' (whether her fault or a true mechanical fault I don't know) and panicked and anchored the breaks. As there was no obvious cause for her to do an emergency stop I progressively braked at first rather than an emergency stop. If I did this at first maybe I could have avoided it as I strongly believe there was a big enough gap in between the two cars but you can't go planting the brakes on full everytime you see a brake light come on else you'd cause chaos. I actually don't think I could have done anything differently. I was in the middle lane and if I swerved I'd have ended up under a lorry or in the outside lane where there was a constant stream of faster traffic. Thankfully it was in a 50 zone and I was doing slightly less that that so could have been worse.

 

The other driver has admitted full fault but her insurers say it's my fault. My insurers say they'll fight my case as best as they can due to 'extenuating circumstances' but I'm not holding out much hope.

 

So that's the story really. Just very unfortunate but I'm satisfied it would have been hard to avoid and I'm not letting it ruin my confidence and enjoyment in driving and I'm just thankful no one was hurt.

 

Cheers again all. And Jaydeescuba thanks for the tip off but it's a Z32 TT I'm after :)

The saying, "if you go into the back of someone then it's your fault" has now been abolished so don't let them tell you that. Good luck with it
