ya5een Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 sighhhhh! i think my car is jinxed! since th accident i had in may iv been messed about by th other parties insurers and we were finally getting sumwher when thy admitted liability a coupla wks ago. th car was so close to getting sorted and i was making all th arrangements for parts and couldnt wait to get her lookin dent free again. left my aunts house last night and thot id go for a bit of a drive on th way home, all was fine till i ended up going straight on at a right hander and colliding with some metal railings. i cnt sat it wasnt my fault, th roads were wet and i shud no betta than to try go round corners at regular speeds. lost traction at all four wheels and car skidded at a slight angle with me sittin thinking F***! reversed th car off th kerb/railing and straightnd it up on th rd then stepped out to check th damage :shock: had to go pick up th number plate and literally pick my left intercooler of th barrier, half th front bumper had been pulled past th front wheel on th damaged side :cry: no fog light, no sidelight, remains of a headlight. i dont know how my tyre survived cos th wheel has some pretty big chunks ripped off th rim :cry: to make things even worse a copper pulled round th corner less than a minute later and after all th regular checks there gonna report me to th council so i can be billed for th fence :mac1: managed to crawl less than a mile home and park th car, shes now sittin outside th house lookin very poorly and i aint decided wot am gonna do with her yet. will have a better idea once me n chunk have stripped th n/s down and got th bloody bonnet to open :cry: Yaseen heres some pics for you: Quote

sideshowbob Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Thats real shite mate, hope you get things sorted. :( Quote
DaveMac Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Sorry to hear about this Yas especially after you being so near to sorting the suspension problem out. If I can help you out at all with this don't hesitate to contact me. Dave. Quote
Shahid Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 That's damn unlucky mate. Hope you get it sorted quickly, without too much hassle. Quote
EvoluZion3 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Im so sorry to hear that Ya5. Just after your other accident as well :cry: :cry: I recognise that bend straight away - just before the train station? Quote
pete shrimp Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Shit fella - really sorry to hear about this :( What insurance cover have you got and are you going through insurance? If your NCB is worth a lot (you're about my age arent you?) then I'd seriously look at sourcing the parts yourself - it'll be cheaper than you think. My bump in May has cost me about £1000 to sort in total, that was for bonnet, wing, headlight, new indicators and foglights, front bumper (99 spec) wing, towing up to Mr Duff, and work on the bent brackets and crossmember. I'll have a nicer looking car at the end too. Hope that makes it seem doable :) This forum's help in times like these is the best thing about it :bow: Good luck Pete Quote
ya5een Posted August 31, 2004 Author Posted August 31, 2004 Thanks for all the support guys, il let you know on what we find today Anyone know how much one of them railings cost? Goit, DaveMac: cheers guys, il let you know if i need anything :bow: SkylineDave: yep thats the one dave, was coming down charles street and turning towards london road. pete shrimp: insurance is tpft pete but i aint gonna tell them, if shes repairable then am defo gonna source th parts and get it fixed up.
