Christmas wrecked! UPDATE - fixed plus pix :D

[westy2k1]

Is it just me or are lorry drivers retarded...drivin me vts home tonite from work an a car transporter decides he wants to be in my lane, with no indication or anything he pulls over bearing in mind the carriage way is packed with cars i slam on the stoppers, cant stop so he smashes my mirror off and rammed me onto central reservation rippin front end off me car bumper, arches and miraculously not damagin bodywork..

if id have gone over, oh yeah 70mph oncoming traffic :S didnt stop tho but, thing was luckily the guy behind me tht only jus managed to stop in time chased him got reg an came back to me....so big up to the mini driver :D

gonna see if i can get bumper on tomoz so i at least got a car to drive over christmas while insurance is sorted etc.

lookin at it this mornin i think its quite a straight forward repair. i wanted to fix bumper back on for temp as it will go on but look shabby but cant cuz of insurance etc. gonna ring em soon see what happens.

[phillyh]

bloody hell, unlucky man, shouldnt be too bad though!:y:

[steve_335]

unlucky mate, at least your cars not a write off or anything.

[westy2k1]

sorry bout size of pics dont no how to make them smaller :( if ne1 knows how to add "PIX ADDED" to the title of the thread plz let me know as i don't think iv'e got the privilages.

[phillyh]

go to edit your first post and click 'advanced', you should be able to edit the title then!

[westy2k1]

where is that option m8, ive got smaller images now but the site ive uploaded them too seems to have gone silly.

[phillyh]

click edit post, then its around the type box matey, then just edit the title of the thread!:y:

Its in the bottom right of the type box, called 'Go Advanced'

;)

[westy2k1]

thtas what the prob is m8, i can find "go advance" no problem etc but i havn't got the option to edit my post anywhere. i no its dumb jus not used to usin the forums yet :s

[Rob85]

Bloody hell, unlucky buddy. Did the police get involved? If so what did they say?

[westy2k1]

nah managed to get off reservation and across to petrol garage. rang them afterwards to report it. didn't say much really as i wasn't injured and the guy did ring in 30mins later!

[westy2k1]

oh an since u have 570+ posts how do i edit my very first posts title? i cant find edit post anywhere or dont have the option but i wanna add "PIX ADDED" to the title

[Rob85]

Think you get the "Advanced" option when you reach 50 posts. Alot more unlocks for you then. :y:

[westy2k1]

lol i thought as much, cheers m8

[Rob85]

No worries bud. Hope the cars back on the road soon, its a sexy lookin VTS! :y:

Edit: Oh and green Saxos FTW! lol.

[westy2k1]

i hope so too, thanx m8, wil have to get some decent pix of it up, weather bin crap recently so not much chance for nice pix, av gone subtle. gonna go see car-worx after christmas about their 300bhp turbo conversion. jus need to see if they will supply quiafe box and suitable clutch etc etc

[Wayne]

sorry to hear bout that mate, hope you get your saxo fixed soon.

[BoJay]

shouldnt cost to much to fix by the looks of it......you should try n get some compo out of it just for the hassle of your car bein smashed

[westy2k1]

its not the cost that bothers me to be honest its the time without my car that i cant stand, im pretty sure all you saxo owners totally understand ;)

[BoJay]

i understand mate - when my car was in the garage for a day i fel lost without it

[Saxo_Steve]

Since you can't drive this Christmas it gives you an excuse to get drunk! Unlucky though, it's a nice car. But at leats it was only the car that got it and not you!

[westy2k1]

very true, got an update for now tho

insurance all sorted as i have witness etc so v pleased and they providing me with a hire car (big up adrian flux) and as have to provide u with something tht is similar to what u drive now and they cant obviously lol got one of the followin being delivered tomoz mornin, focus, maz mx3, golf, megane, or something similar which int bad really :D

ye adrian flux very quick and handled with exceptional speed and efficiency, not often an i can say tht bout an insurance company but must give credit where due!
