No more Saxo, my babies dead...

[srcnix]

On the way home, lots on my mind going back to sort my mind out. Going 60 down a dual carriage way and changed lane. Ended up going into the back of a Royal Mail truck.

Front of car completely mashed in, air bag didn't even go off.

My babies dead.

Got some pics I will post later...

[Baz]

hope when you say your baby you mean your car!

unlucky man :( get some piccies up

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

sorry to hear that mate!

Is it not repairable?

[Yates]

you have to pay any postage?

unlucky, yet another one in the last month thats been taken to its grave

[Dan]

Sounds nasty matey, at least your ok though. How did you go in the back of it?

[Mystic]

ouch, how did u manage to go in2 the back of a truck?

Were u hurt atall? Or anyone else?

[babers]

i know these things happen i nearly pulled out in front of a police car last night and he had his lights on and sirren(sp) going and i did not even hear or see him as i was thinking about other things luckly for me he just called me a wanker and went flying on past. glad your ok mate

[srcnix]

Me backs pretty bad but will go to the docs tomorrow if feels as bad or worse.

It doesn't look repairable. If it is, I will be so happy, if not, I don't know. I feel naked without her at the moment and it has only been 2 - 3 hours.

[liamk15]

:ponder: from the title i thought you had to get rid of your saxo because your baby had died


unlucky anyway mate

[DevilDamo]

So I take it your meet's no longer going ahead...?

Sorry to hear that mate. Where did it happen? Blackwater Valley Road? Hogs Back?

[David]

[Clouds_mate]

I was thinking more on the lines of Robocop. Already died once. would be a shame with the new mk2 model lol

[Danr]

Shit mate, thats bad. Hope your alright. Just go out and buy another one :thumbup:

[luisax]

Can't believe how many saxos have been crashed recently.

[b0t13]

wtf nice avatar luisax!

[Qucifer666]

sorry to hear that mate, hopefully ur back will get better soon!

[srcnix]

Thanks guys, much appreciated. The meet, well I want that to continue in memory of my baby!

I will not get any other car than a Saxo. I can't, I love them.

Very much thinking about a VTR, not sure how well £4,500 will go for a years insurance and a VTR being that I don't like the idea of more than 30,000 miles on the clock.

I just hope I can get the same colour.

[Robb]

Shit son...

BVR came to mind when you mentioned the dual carriage way...??

At least your ok I spose...

[ricksimmonds]

[Danr]

[Didz]

[srcnix]

Erm, not sure of the name but just outside Sains', near Watchmore park roundabout.

[srcnix]

[Danr]

Ill can take you 2 the meet!

[sassysax]

47,OOO :) i drive alot, nut mainly motorways and she's very well looked after ;)

[Jimbo]

47k is nothing.

Sad to hear you crashed, but honestly, how do you just go into the back of a royal mail truck!?

[srcnix]

Ill can take you 2 the meet!
Dude, that would be great. Thank you.

[Imfromwales]

where are these pics?

[srcnix]

47k is nothing.

I was going about 60 in the middle lane which was clear and for some reason thought it necessary to change into the left lane. Didn't see the red Royal Mail truck and pretty much just hit it. Air bag didn't go off and would have been saving me a lot of pain right now.

I had a lot of stuff on my mind.

Went to the hospital. Apparently your spine is meant to be slightly bent, mine is straight due to major muscle spasms.

Hurts like hell.

[Robb]

Shit son...

Well I was in a crash at about 40mph and my airbag didn't budge at all, could of been due to the light being on but still...

Anyway it could have been a lot worse, and I know every dick will say it but at least no one was killed, and its only a bit of metal at the end of the day...

[srcnix]

Regarding photos, I don't have Windows on this box and can't find any software that will allow me to hook up me phone to my Linux box so will hate to wait a little.

[srcnix]

That's true, but when you got a £5,000 loan out for it, kind of a kick in the bollocks.

[srcnix]

Got a pic:

[srcnix]

The dash was pushed back about an inch, windscreen has a nice crack (Small hit would shatter it) and the front of the car has actually come away from the rest of the car by about an inch.

[mike_obuk]

that looks like it might have hurt. sorry to hear of your accident.

[Danr]

Shit, that looks bad, What are you doing with it?

[srcnix]

Insurance company has taken it away. Got everything I needed out of it (CD player, mats etc).

Just a case of waiting for the verdict. If they can fix it (doubtful) then that's great as I get my baby back. If not, new options open for me such as a VTR which I wanted initially but needed a car ASAP.

[noxtioN]

Just seen the pic, never thought it was that bad :/

[srcnix]

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Finding it hard to find a good quote on insurance, the guy at MCE screwed me quote up.

[Yates]

thats not getting fixed

get a picture of that, and get it stuck in your new car, remind you of it

[davew]

shit dude...hope your back happy motoring soon

[mintminton]

oh god mate, yet another saxo off the road :@ with more corsas taking ova :'(

[srcnix]

oh god mate, yet another saxo off the road :@ with more corsas taking ova :'(

Until I get a VTR ;-) -- if written off, verdict tomorrow.

[Yates]

its fucked mate, noway thats going back on the road, just look at the slam panel

[hesslevtr]

its fucked mate, noway thats going back on the road, just look at the slam panel


what slam pannel

[Clouds_mate]

lmao that is never ever ever going to be fixed. write off

[srcnix]

Then looking for a VTR and new insurance isn't wasting my time right now then.

Will find out tomorrow whether it is a write off or not. Will let you all know.

Other than AutoTrader where else should I think about looking for a VTR. I may only have around £3,500.00 to spend. Looking at < 30,000 miles on the clock. Ideally icelandic blue or wicked red. Also needs to be completely standard.

would you take 1 whats just been lowered and an exhaust

[srcnix]

Yeah, would consider it. as I would learn about lowering and see how it has been done. Same for exhaust.

[hesslevtr]

well if i dont get a job soon il let you know

i ahve all standard parts apart from exhaust and will be to much hassle raising rear

[srcnix]

Where do you live, how much would you be looking at selling your baby for.

Also, condition? I am looking for emasculate condition for the interior and not a scratch on the exterior (Bumbers understandable).

Also, where do you live mate?

[Yates]

hes from hull, ive seen the car and looks very clean to me

but you will be hard pushed to find a saxo with out a scratch! unless u mean really bad scratches

[Robb]

That cars ruined...

Where did you buy that car from outta interest? I'm sure I saw it at a dealers near my mates house not so long ago...

Paul, don't tell me your selling up...

[hesslevtr]

it has 1 scratch on back bumper which has gone to the primer

has a tny dint in tailgate roof and 2 tiny dints in drivers wing apart from that its spot on

coming upto 40k

would you be wanting it standard or inc mods

full service history
oil changed every 5k since iv had it thats been since 8k

[srcnix]

Interesting, the only problem is the distance.

[hesslevtr]

its not def for sale yet but it possibly might be soon

[srcnix]

Just had it confirmed and apparently another engineer is coming in to confirm it but my car is written off...

[Yates]

no shit

[davew]

glum unlucky mate

[srcnix]

Yeah, my poor baby has gone but that has opened up the chance to get a VTR.

[Robb]

Can't say I'm surprised...

But as you say moving onto better things. Still, never good to hear that your cars a write off...
