Starlet...gone :(

[Phil]

sorry to see this thread rik

i wrote a car of once, was a real bad feeling, knowing in my case(obviously not yours) that i was the only person involved and the only person to blame, sucked big time!

if there are any positives to be drawn, one should be, it wasnt your fault, thats a big positive mentally.

all the best for the near future and hope your back motoring soon

Thats exactly it! At least you could walk away from it and didnt cause injury or worse to anyone else. I hope you get sorted soon mate

 

[Deano]

Sooo sorry to hear that mate best of luck all the best with your next project

 

[Rik]

Bloody hell Rik you were luck you didn't get injured, it's held up pretty well I would say considering it's on the roof. The car can be replaced but you can't so don't forget that! Have you been onto the insurance company yet this morning buddy?

Keep us updated sure you will be back in no time as I said there is light at the end of the tunnel we've all done it at some point

I thought it would come out a lot worse than that an i'm very lucky yeah! I've not rung them yet no, me and the mother are going to be on with it later and hopefully it won't take too long to get payed out etc. for it and i can start another project Hopefully i can rescue the toms spats and skirts, they look half decent for repair. Bumper is a no go though Damnit!

 

[Dave.]

Thats crazy mate...

Looking on the bright side mate, you should be able to make back its scrap value (if you decide to get it) on the wheels alone!

What a loss mate, she was a cracking looking car too

Like Toby just said though, car's can be replaced and people can't. Onwards and upwards mate

[HYBRID]

hope the damage done to urself is not that much, im sure the ego is the worst bit, but as long as u walked out of it, u can thank ur lucky stars as it sounds like quite a scary crash!

sory to hear man looks nasty,

put how the hell did it manage to flip? must of be goin quick enough lad?

 

[Rik]

I dunno how it flipped, i think hit the curb sideways then the wall an i think thats what caused it to flip. The thing is i wasn't even going fast, it was rush hour traffic, pissing down and had a mate in with me. I don't even remember what happened after i got sideswiped, i just remember spinning, a bang an then being upside down :| I dunno if i pushed down on the accelerator when i got hit or what which may have sped me up into the curb.

Does anyone know if i can buy the car back no matter what write off it is? I'm not gonna let them take any of my bits because i want them all for the next car.

 

[Big_Daddy]

Thats scary. Did you have your seat belt on? when it happened?

I think you can, to them its just scrap for the insurance, get back for few hundred quid.
Thats looked mint.

 

[goldenvtr]

damn :O i am quite imressed it held up that well though. at least your ok dude!

 

[Rik]

Yeah i had my belt on, was hanging there like a spider lol glad i had it on, i always make sure wear my belt, only takes a second to put on so don't see why people don't wear them!

 

[WallaceGlanza]

Gutted for you mate, poor car, but at least you and your mate are generally ok.

I can't believe the cheek of the guy that hit you not coming over to check if you wereok either! Some people are just complete arogant twats!

 

[Sigma]

Glad your okay mate

It's been said countless times before, but it's a car at the end of the day.

 

[Jay]

Jesus that's a heavy hit on the nose. Just glad that you are in one piece mate, the pictures make me cringe seeing it on it's roof like that..

Hope your get everything sorted and your ass back in a new project asap.
