OMG :eek2: I wasn't expecting it to look that bad :cry: Sorry :(

Blimey. That looks a lot worse than it sounded. Forget my earlier comment. Support your local hunt.

Screwd.

duSTI 15 March 2005 11:32 PM

Blimey mate, looks like you were very lucky to walk away from that.

Good luck with the payout.

BTW, I found this on the Japfest website if you have'nt seen it before: http://www.japfest.com/tracktime.html

Make sure you tell them you want your plate back, or you'll lose it.

SiDHEaD 15 March 2005 11:34 PM

Blimey!!

I'm sure there will be some way round the plate.. Others must have been in the same situation.

I hope you got a pasty from that van ;)

Paul and desmondo,

In the verge was a storm drain, just under the grass was a 8"x 3" x 5ft concrete Lintle over the brickwork, which I wiped out and it ended up in the ditch water. It got caught under car making the dents into horrible scratches when the tractor was trying to pulling it out. I nearly :cry: when I heard the sound.

My mate and the Farmer struggle to lift it back onto brickwork.

But we had to get it out or it could have been in 6ft of water in the night.

The newage a much stronger cars than the Classic ;) the main reason for the added weight. The Castle Combe day, bar from 2 wheels and Geometry done, no structual damage purely cosmetic :D

I was having major problems with OSF wheel but some bailer twine and careful driving got it back onto main road ;) could have got it a bit further with a co driver hanging out the window job like The Rally this weekend. LOL

Tony

Ps trying to be careful not to get blamed, or deducted money for getting out the Culvert and getting it to main road. The Vultures or the water would have finnished it of by morning :(

Yeah same here!!!:eek2:

At least your ok tho...., & I hope you get another scoob! with your insurance payout.....


Good luck Tony.

Sorry to hear about your Bad luck mate. I can't see them not writing it off, if the roof was'nt caved in then maybe it would be repairable. It's best that they do, as the re-sale value after two accidents would put lot off people off. At least you can haggle a good payout from the insurance company and get yourself a new one.

SH*T - just read this thread. Sorry to hear of your bad luck Tony. We haven't met, but as a fellow STi7 owner I feel for you. It p*sses me off if a bird cr*ps on my car....so for you I can only imagine.

Hope L&V sort you out quickly. :thumb:
