Not a happy-bunny . . . .

[ally-b]

Drove to work on Saturday for an un-paid "Saturday-on" shift , arrived and found-out it was cancelled

So I headed for home 07;15. . ., and an idiot did a U-turn in front of me ,without indicating , I I was left with no option but to banjo my pax-wing off his dr-wing and in-turn hit the fence on the other side of the road . . . . . . scooby is wrecked , so am I

. Cops said we were lucky to be in a Subaru , or we would not have walked away )

They told me he's been charged with dangerous-driving and they want him banned !

I still can't believe it happened , but when I look out the window she's not there , so it's true

My passenger sustained 2 fractures on his arm (cos he put it out to protect him . . he smashed the window ) he's got a stooky

I've got a jiggered back (which didn't stop me getting a doz mackerel today ) and a big F-O burn on my arm which the Doc says was caused by the explosive-charge in the air-bag .

. . . . I'll be back , soon .

so sorry to hear the bad news,the c@nts can't drive.

were you out fishing today?

where was you fishing?

i'm a fisherman too.

[RS Grant]

Sorry to hear that mate.... Hope you get the car back in perfect condition, or if its a write-off then I hope they off you a realistic price for it!!.

Remember to push for some compensation for the injuries that you and your passenger sustained, in addition, you're scared to sit in another car now arent you?? arent you??

Chin up though mate, cars are easily replaced, people arent.......

Cheers,

Grant

[ally-b]

Thanks for the support guys

It is genuinely appreciated

Latest is . . . UK Assistance bodyshop in Rutherglen phoned today to inform me it is totalled . . . I'm gutted , I contacted insurance , I should get offer from them in a couple of days , and cheque in a week or so , I'd rather have the car back , but if it's that bad maybe not )

So . . . It is time to stop looking back , and to look forward instead . . .

Anyone selling a late UK classic ? Low-mileage , un-modded '99 prefered , 4 or 5 door - not fussy . . . . any colour but green

Al.

[RS Grant]

Soz to hear its a Total Loss...... But remember to reject their first settlement offer, they can always do better!!

Cheers,

Grant

[za - sti]

actually passed you at the scene, couldnt make out what had happended by the way the cars were siting

cant believe someone tried a u-turn that morning given the fog

Update . . . I've had a sensible offer from insurance which I'm accepting

Anyone selling a late UK classic ? 4/5 door ...not fussy , low mileage , un-modded prefered , any colour but green

Za , I noticed a couple of Scoobs going past as I was chatting with the cops but I was too shattered to remember any more than the burble as you passed

as they say "ma-heid-wiz-up-ma-errs"

It's not an experience I'd recommend to anyone .

Ally

to be honest m8 i would personally get a jap import instead.A WRX or STI is alot better than a UK spec but you just have to do alot of searching.

The jap import have stronger engines and are better equipped.

My m8 just got a STI4 to replace his UK2000 wagon and he is over the moon about it.

[ally-b]

Thanks Peter ,

How does it go with insuring a JDM ?

I heard that insurance companys don't like imports ? .

I'll have to try to drop in to see you for a chat , will you at your restaurant tonight (Thursday) ?

if you are ,I'll try and pop in with my pal and his brand-new STI

Al.

[fai17]

yes i am working and if you can let me know what time you are coming down i could get my mate with the STI4 to come down too .

As for cars i've got a STI8 with some mods.

See you later then.
