Nothing too serious but still a write off, probably.

Guy tries to over take me on a small main road, car was coming the other way so he swerved in and went straight into the back of me, tosser.

Before:

After:

It's gone to the garage for a check but because he got my whole rear wing and bumper, and bent the rear axle, it looks like a write off. :cry:

Turns out his was just a rented car!

Thats NOT a write off.

by **Blackman** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:42 pm

That's what I thought, but talked to a guy that owned a garage and he said that the work done would cost much more than the car is worth.

far point - where you injured?

by **Blackman** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:47 pm

Yer a bit, me lower neck feels like I have a bolt running through it. I'm on some strong pain killers at the moment.

by **heeman10** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:48 pm

Damn..u ok? What an idiot

Lucky the wheels made a lucky escape!

by **chumkila** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:58 pm

It might be worth less than the damage but i've had and seen other cars in worse condition repaired.

by **MFkev** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 5:20 pm

Good news that it wasnt that bad, but I'm sure that with money from a personal injury claim would be more than enough for a new motor

damnit m8 wot a total bummer, at least the other guy didnt try to race off or anything and like others have said compsensation, insurance claim will all addup to getting you a new car!

by **Tom SX** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 5:36 pm

Wheels off, take money insurance give you, save a bit and buy a 1.6si (3 DOOR!) wheels on. Job done.

Hope the rest of this incident goes painlessly for you tho. . .

by **Tom_S** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 6:01 pm

Unlucky mate, glad your ok though. Hope you get everything sorted soon

by **FezzR** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 6:35 pm

did he touch the rear wheel?
did u both spin?

unless he hit ur wheel i see it unlikely that the rear axel is bent;
be if it is writen off may be worth seeing what the insurance want for it cos i dont see they`ll want a lot

by **cheeseboy** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 7:01 pm

hey m8
i u need the replacment rear bumper i should have mine iff soon ,
same as urs

by **FRS_Steve** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 7:12 pm

Thats not a write off, I could repair that in a few hours, doesnt need a new panel. Axle doesn't look bent either.

by **FezzR** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 7:30 pm

even the gap round the light cluster looks normal

Few hours? bit optimistic aint it. U bin workin @ ford 2 long m8, 20Kg of filler aint a repair :wink:

by **xrsi** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 8:21 pm

rear axel looks bent to me!

wheel is sitting at an angle!

by **smoov_fezzy** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 8:55 pm

saved your clears aswell by a few mm..

by **Project** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 9:21 pm

It's a hint from a higher power

Lose those rear doors

by **Blackman** on Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:18 pm

If you closely, you'll notice the wheel is pointing out slightly, maybe not the best pics. Basically what xrsi said.

Thats not a write off, I could repair that in a few hours, doesn't need a new panel. Axle doesn't look bent either.

If it isn't bent, then no I reckon they'll fix it. I checked the tire and there is a slight lip on it where it is running on an angle, we'll see when they ring me 2moz.

Got a brand new Corsa as a courtesy car, 1 Litre! ha! :lol:

Thanks for the replies, I took my clears off just before they took the car. So if it is a write off, I'll be selling em.

Blackman :If you closely, you'll notice the wheel is pointing out slightly

i'd of said it's pointing inwards :-?

by **Blackman** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 12:36 pm

Soz for not replying sooner.

The car is a definate write off, I got £1100, first quoted £750.

I took off the clear rears which are up for sale, hoping to overly charge those! :lol:

hmm and I've claimed on my neck, and they are reviewing my case.

Oh and I'll be getting a new car soon....not a fiesta. :cry:

by **chumkila** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 12:40 pm

is that why u tried screwing up the Forum earlier? :rolleyes:

by **smoov_fezzy** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 12:59 pm

you selling them wheels??
im interested

by **Project** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 1:23 pm

chumkila :is that why u tried screwing up the Forum earlier?

Did he?

It looked like he was highlighting a security vulnerability. Not the best way of doing it as I'm sure Elm and Andymac are now writing some JavaScript code

But it got our attention nevertheless.

by **chumkila** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 1:37 pm

yea i know i saw the pop-up-box before anyone. :lol:

by **Blackman** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 4:05 pm

chumkila,

I don't know whether you are joking or not but no I didn't try and screw up the forum, what I posted was a simple code to show that it can be done, it wasn't malicious what-so-ever. Maybe I should have pmed someone about it, but I felt doing that was the only way to get people's attention.

So get your facts straight before you start blatantly accusing people.

smoov_fezzy,

Sorry mate, they had to go with the car as they were insured with it.

Project ST2000,

Thanks.

by **chumkila** on Fri Aug 01, 2003 4:18 pm

yea yea.

peace.
